  Sounds like an interesting game.
  But how is it the best game ever?  It imitates a familiar game format, it's 
not the most intense experience you've probably had, and of course that weird 
"paper people" look won't win it any artistic awards.
  Actually, my main concern is that you've declared it the best game ever, 
but you probably haven't experienced enough games to judge that.  Have you 
ever played Civilization (or its sequel)?  Jedi Knight?  Quake II?  Probably 
not all of them, and they're all in the running.
  Don't polarize like that - I've met some people who can't grasp the concept 
that a game can have both good AND bad points, and thinks something's either 
"the best game ever," or "a totally worthless piece of garbage."  I'm not 
saying that's you, but I'd suggest you temper your view a bit.
