as one of the only people here who actually graduated in 2009 lemme give you a real idea of this game.
the voice acting is smooth as butter and i love all the profanity, very realistic to the time period.
i love the popping pills part, i started my addiction to painkillers in '06, '07 and was popping real percocets daily by '09, that warm feeling is legit.
the story is soooooo cliche, like holy fuck. and a lot of the dialogue is too, but the smooth voice acting and semi epic one liners help get you through it.
too many new age things thrown in, like i can tell this game was made the past couple years, takes away from the nostalgia and time frame.
dont know if im committe enough to buy the full game, but this demo wasnt awful, it was pretty alright actually. if youre like 14-16 right now, you wont appreciate this game as much as us old folks in our 30s, but you might relate some.
