    To be honest, the first time I played this game I fell asleep about an hour ago. Although I think that is more of myself than does the game. I’ve been told it’s very good, but I haven’t had time to get back into it since I bought it about a year ago. I will say that the story at the beginning isn’t exactly enough to grab my attention.
