It's kind of... a platform game minus the platforms. Like Mario 64. 3D, you walk around a big world, fighting when needs be, sometimes driving vehicles, sometimes playing mini-games...
You should get it even if you're not a fan of platform games though, I usually can't stand platformers, and I love this game. It's all about the characters and the story and the environment, although the gameplay too is very fun. It's just awesome in every way, basically  |
Erm....well, it
looks like a platformer, but that's where it ends.
Let's see.....take a classic adventure game and rip out the stupidly placed puzzles and dumb hotspots...set a foundation with a solid story of conspiracy, war, and truths...revamp the whole thing in a lush, deceptively near cartoon-like 3D world complete with its own little history and multiracial populace...add simplified multi-genre influences like RPG level ups and currency systems, fantasy racing games, platformers, strategy games, adventures, stealth action, and environmental puzzles...mix in some non-linearity in how items like money and goods are acquired and options to spend time exploring, talking to people, and buying/getting things...throw in a camera and optional main quest to photograph as many planetary species as possible for money...and finally, spice it all up by adding a usable hovercraft/spaceship, pearls, hip music, goat/human orphans, martial arts combat, a table hockey game, K-bups, weird but cute flora and fauna, a lighthouse, a pig, green lipstick, and =
VOILA!!
