This is a hybrid title, meaning it combines several genres, and here, it's an FPS packaging containing elements of adventure, RPG and action. It all comes together in a sublime way, nothing is tacked on, everything has a place, and this somehow manages to fit in all of the major conspiracy theories, a lot of Greek mythology and history, plenty of intelligent philosophical discussion, morality, countless references(often to famous works of literature) and allusions as well as meta-fiction(!). Most VG's are longer than a movie, or even a mini-series(and this isn't exactly short, either), and here a lot of it is put to use to develop the fleshed out, credible characters and plot. what this does had not been done before, and as far as I am aware, not yet, since. I wouldn't say that it's hyperbole to call this the best game ever.
