Has Potential but Not Quite There Yet

I want to like the game and I am enjoying parts of it but I noticed that cut-scenes are not playing (just black screens) and the overall performance is slow: the character moves slowly on screen, the transitions from one map to another are slow. It needs to be faster and the cut scenes need to be visible. Im running this on a MacBook Pro 17" with a 2.66 Ghz i7, 8 GB of memory, and an Intel HD Graphics 288 MB graphics card.
