Pros:
Finally a return to the SNES school of RPG design.
It's fun to mess with Garet through the Yes/No questions.
Beutiful graphics.
Great music.
Nice battle system that plays a little like some of the more complicated RPG systems but doesn't get bogged down by it.
Cons:
Your fellow party members talk quite inanely sometimes, drawing out cutscenes. I don't know how Isaac puts up with it sometimes.
Not quite excellant.
