E What do these ratings mean?

Excellent gameplay, keeping the player involved for hours (trust me, I know). Excellent graphics. The occassional disappearing "Hero" from the rotating camera angle can get aggrevating, but the ability to create new, rare items through the use of alchemy keeps the game going. The different enemies & bosses keep you coming back for more - (especially if you are lacking in the exp. points area). I am currently on my third time through the game & still enjoying it.
