I'd probably buy this game if it didn't use point and click combat or if the combat was turn-based.

It's too bad that many developers don't realize how lame real-time point & click combat is.

Well, Guest, 'bad' or 'good' mainly are matters of opinion. So even if in your opinion it's bad, others might like it.

I think I am mistaken here.

This is one of the few occasions where a game has some reviews out before it reaches the US. I just suggested to read them before deciding to buy the game. Yes, most of the reviews aen't too favorable - but that doesn't mean YOU will not like the game.

I played the demo and wasn't too impressed. But again: this is MY opinion, not yours .
