I haven't played the games, but looking them up on the internet it appears that they nailed the cast for looking like the characters in the game. The show started off a little cheesy and I wasn't quite sure where it would go with the story. It also took me a while to realize that the timelines weren't lined up at the beginning. By the end of the show I was in love though. The fact that nothing was spoon fed to us was particularly nice. It's a great show that you have to stick with until the end to appreciate how good it is and it's potential. I can't wait until season 2!
