You mentioned fighting...
Yup, the player can slug it out with fists or find themselves some weaponry and learn to use that when the time comes for combat.

I'm rubbish at fighting. I'll get killed.
You probably will, but the game won't end there. And no, you don't get a number of lives to use before it's 'game over'.

How do I continue playing then?
Virtual reincarnation, my friend.

What twaddle.
Not at all. In order to exist in Utopia the player has to take over the soul of one of its inhabitants and should they find that person dies for some reason (hey! We could all go under a bus tomorrow!), then the next person to touch the cadaver will inherit the player's soul. This means you're going to be wandering around Utopia in all manner of physical shapes - female included.

Oh great! If I were a girl I'd just stay in all day and play with...
Steady.

Sorry.
I should think so. Anyway, to finish off, here are some more details to mull over: there are over 150 different realtime, motion-captured characters (70 of which talk), 300 objects to use and more than 400 different sets in four huge cities.

Ziggy played guitar...
Bet you don't know the next line of the song...

Jamming good with Weird and Gilly...
Smart arse.

*Full freedom to roam four large cities
*Novel reincarnation system enables the player to switch bodies
*Tremendous facial animation
*Exploration, puzzle-solving and combat action all rolled into one
*Might be a less than riveting experience.
