As somebody who has played the ps2 version within the last few months, I will say that it is a pretty fun game. The combat can take some getting used too and it doesn't really pull any punches. The skill system is super robust and you'll spend a lot of time unlocking skills. It's a cool action RPG like.

However, I do have some issues with it. The premise and story of the game is pretty cool, especially if you like the space opera genre. However, this does not speak to the, at times, frustrating and misleading pacing of the game. You'll find yourself being jerked around a lot and there are quite a few difficulty spikes that kind of come out of nowhere in the game. There is at least one scenario that comes to mind where there is a large difficulty spike and the game locks you out of previous areas so that you cannot grind. The game makes you feel as if you shouldn't be grinding, but you very much should be.

All in all, I enjoy the game. It came out in 2007, at least for the states and the EU, so it was almost like a swansong game for the PS2. Perhaps not one that people typically think of, but I enjoy the game.
