I was actually surprised he uploaded such a big spoiler regarding all of the bodies being attached to something. It makes the game look original and intriguing though. I'd buy it if it was the first time I had ever seen or heard anything about Policenauts, the article sold the game to the unknown public well I think.

I agree with you, it does give off a great impression, it makes people read the article I think, it was the clear standout from the magazine. It certainly has me interested. (I have completed up to disc one of the 3DO version). No further. I can wait for the english translation now, I just had to give it a go to see what it was like, and it is an absolute stunner, so far. I also got the Pilot Disc for the 3DO as well, to further give me a look at the game.

I have waited three years for anything on Shenmue 3 and five for a NiGHTS sequel/remake, I can wait a further three just because I know that a translation for Policenauts is coming, I am a patient soul.

That's the right attitude. :)
