I agree. I will be forcing my parents to take me to as many video game places as it takes to get this game!
I think what makes it so appealing is that it looks so Fantastic. (By that I mean awesome as well as mythological) Everything seems magical and alive, even the interface. When I look at a screenshot from the adventure map I have the amazingly strong desire to pan and tilt and rotate the camera so I can see more, always more!
But I cant...
