Well, I can't really call it a classic, being the third of five. Call it a golden oldie. 
This is probably the best SNES game ever made. The control, design, puzzles... well, let's 
just say that it's practically perfect in every way :). Yeah, it does have its flaws 
(especially when you're cornered and trying to get free) and the graphics and sound ain't 
perfect, but on the whole you won't care. This is an absolutely awesome game... with, in 
probably only my eyes, one glaring flaw. It seems to have a religion of its own. I mean, 
I'm sorry, but I'm glad my mom wasn't looking over my shoulder at the times when it 
mentions "prophecy" and "omnipotence." It's a perfect game for anyone who isn't strongly 
involved in Christianity (or other religions, for that matter). And It's still a must-buy 
for them. Just remember: it's only a game.

OVERALL: ********* 90%
