Almost as bland as the game. For a story driven game to be interesting, the gameplay needs to represent that. Otherwise it becomes a "roam until you can finish" game. |

Their purpose is as a medium to deliver the story to the reader. As you move through the world, the story is given to you a page at a time. |
