Oh, the bugs. I had to replay chunks of the game three times before I quickly learned to save every 10 minutes or so just to protect myself, and even then I'd slam my fist down when the game completely died in the middle of a heated battle. The saddest thing about all this is that this comes after getting the first patch for the game. The graphics are solid, and have some great touches, particularly in the architecture of the Monk's island, as well as the foamy green water surges in the first sewer catacombs that you explore in the game. It's good, sometimes great, but never as intricate as the design of Vampire.
Faces can get kind of freaky in particular, and textures lack detail when zoomed in upon.
Most regrettable is the horrible fogging that takes place, even if you're playing it in the farthest distance. When you're running from one side of town to another, it's sad to see entire chunks of town appear in from the fog, particularly when you're exploring pretty simple scenery sometimes. The sound, however, is nothing but great, with some solid voice acting, and some great soundtrack scores that sweep from acoustic guitar tunes to epic choral pieces that highlight major moments in the storyline. It's constantly enjoyable, and will keep your interest throughout long adventures, which is saying something. Every artform has its mythos, and its curses, and now it looks like gaming has one as well.
