Good RPG for People Who Hate RPGs
To add to the other reviews: I hate RPGs (roll playing games), I've always been into shooters only. But this game was surprisingly different. It's got enough gore and guns to satisfy even the most particular shooter enthusiast (such as myself). The world is wide open with tons of unique and strange possibilities. In games like this, I usually hate the fact you have to travel around so much. But the traveling in this game is mostly done by 'fast travel' which is far less tedious. If there is one con - the player must manage his or her own inventory very carefully. You can only carry a certain amount of items at a time, so be careful what you take with you.

Great Electronic Music
This music is very bizarre and somewhat eery at times - but overall it is very deep and rhythmically moving. Surprisingly simplistic and lo-fi at times, but never deviating from an intensely intriguing and catchy beat, Music has the Right to Children is classic Boards of Canada. Strange voices are interspersed throughout this album - but in a way that definitely adds to the mayhem. Perhaps not as good as Campfire Headphase, but Music has the Right to Children is still very unique from Boards of Canada's other CDs.

Buy This
2 of 2 found this helpful In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country by Boards of Canada is perhaps the best EP I have ever purchased. It only has 4 songs, but all 4 songs are incredible. Very deep beats interspersed with intruiging melodies, patterns, layers of rythms, as well as the occasional vocoder - makes for an must-buy CD.
