I really tried to like it for years. Bought it on suggestion from a friend. Couldn't enjoy a game that has a timer constantly dictating what I do and how I do it, had the same problem with Bully. Great game, if I was given free reign of my own actions instead of a time-limited version.
Also, I'm getting a bit tired of pixel graphics, been looking at them for the better part of 30 years. Time to move on.
