You know, I wanted that game so much when it first came out, and when I later picked it up used, I've found it's fun to play but I very rarely get the urge to play it. Some parts are very unforgivingly difficult and can't really be done the way they tell you to do them; for example, there's one part where you have to kill all the guards and steal some horses to escape. The indian guys helping you say, "Use your bow to kill all the guards", but shooting one of the guards with the bow just wounds him and he alerts the others. The game tells you your escape attempt has failed and you have to try again. I finally ended up having to sneak up behind everyone and slit their throats. The controls are a little complicated, and if you get the Gamecube version be warned there is some dual thumbstick work, which the GC controller never really did well.
It definitely has a good soundtrack, some of the voice acting is actually fairly good (Lance Henrikson, Tom Skerritt, and Brad Dourif actually lend their talents), and the story is well-written, but I wouldn't pay too much for it if you decide to check it out.
