The plot and story description of the article seems quite long, and Wikipedia policy clearly states that:

"Wikipedia articles on works of fiction should contain real-world context and sourced analysis, offering detail on a work's achievements, impact or historical significance, not solely a summary of that work's plot"

It looks to me that the overly long plot description seems to go against Wikipedia official policy.

It doesn't seem to be that long. There are many other plot summaries all over Wikipedia that are just as long, if not longer. Plus, and I may be incorrect here, but that policy applies to written works, not video games. -Xeon25 23:08, 21 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
It looks pretty long to me. The whole article looks like one long game guide/walkthrough. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. And the template for overly long plot summmeries says focus on discussing the work rather than simply reiterating the plot. I'm pretty sure these policies apply to all articles about fictional universes including games. Wikipedia:Manual of Style (writing about fiction) says that an article can have a "summary of the plot or elements of character and exposition, treated briefly, and clearly defined as fictional", notice the word "breifly". that's just one example of what the manual says. After a quick read throgh of the manual, I think this article is quite long and focuses more on the plot, without much focus on the things that the manual suggests (just read the Perspective section to see what the manual suggests). Plus most of the article is written mostly in-universe.

The entire 'comedy' section ranks among the most inane Wikipedia entries of all time.--58.28.143.188 12:29, 4 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Possible Character List

Is it possible to create a sub-page of this article, to list the characters involved in the game, much like other titles such as L.A. Noire? GUtt01 (talk) 14:22, 4 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
