Beautiful, compelling storyline !

More than game, its an interactive novel. Just like some have said, the puzzles from the DS version were taken out, but that doesnt deter the game from having a compelling storyline.
Players do need to "replay" the game close to the beginning a few times, but they can skip/fast-foward in parts already seen. replaying the game has an explanation within the storyline: its not just to waste time.
It is worth the price, and depending on how much one reads dialogues versus using the skip option every now and then, the game can last more than 20 hours.
It is indeed a great game.
