The only downside is that the combat system is a bit lacking.

WHAT O_O!!!!!!!??? The game features a unique combat system for an RPG, not just mindless button-mashing, but rather a rhythmic battle (which is already a quite popular feature). This is simply magnificent; there haven't been many RPGs with rhythmic combat. And if you play with a third-person camera like in Geoff (a hybrid of first and third-person perspectives), it's a super enjoyable experience. The ability to choose the camera angle adds to the adrenaline rush, making it as exciting as an action game.

I sometimes play Revolt, where there are small cars.

It's an awesome game! I've been trying to find it for a while; I played it a long time ago, and it's great.
