Summary: Thick on Graphics, Thin on Plot
Review: I was expecting a lot more from Return to Krondor when I bought it. While the graphics and sound effects are excellent, I was disappointed with the short running time of the game. When I opened the CD case and saw that it was a 2 CD game, I thought, "Wow! This is going to take me forever to beat! Great!" Unfortunately, it did not. All the space, it seems, is taken up by the graphics, and the plot got left out. There are only 4 characters you get to play with, and maybe 2 or 3 towns you get to explore. I remember 2 side quests, but there may have been another one I'm forgetting about. While the concept of the mage and/or the healer making their own potions is interesting, the player ends up wasting a lot of time fooling with the equipment, trying to find ingredients for the potions, and waiting . . . and waiting . . . and waiting for them to brew. Betrayal at Krondor, its predecessor, while pretty weak graphically (but consider when it was made) had and EXCELLENT plot, with many side quests, multiple characters to play with, many game characters to interact with, and a lot of locations to visit. If you're simply looking to sit in front of the PC for hours on end looking at the pretty colors on the screen, this is the game to get. If you'd like a game that is engrossing that you'll be fighting family members to get on the computer to play, I recommend getting its granddad, Betrayal at Krondor.

Summary: There's Better Out There
Review: I was expecting so much more from this game. I Betrayal at Antara was so much better. I bought RTK anticipating an even better experience. At first, I was pleased. The Gfx and Sfx are good. Moving about gets frustrating though since the controls are not intuitive and you quickly find yourself moving back and forth between screens. There are some instances where you simply can't see all of a screen at all. My biggest complaint though was that just as I was beginning to really get into the plot, the game ended! I was completely shocked. It was as if the developers simply reached a deadline and just ended the game. There were many loose ends regarding the plot. I wondered whether or not this meant another sequel is forthcoming. I won't buy it!

Summary: Poorly executed
Review: In return to krondor there are many things you can do besides the main goal. There are many side tasks that you can do. I've played the game twice and I have had it for a few years now but it never gets borin to play. There is always something new to discover like a new item or weapon. Though the fight scenes are sometimes a little glitchy the graphics are good. But I recomend reading the series of books by Raymond Feist you will be a little more enlitened to some of the things that take place and understand the characters such as Jimmy The Hand.

Summary: Great Game, Greatly Ignored.
Review: Maybe it is the mislabling of this game as an adventure\rpg. Or maybe it was the hype that it could never meet. Whatever it was, this game was highly ignored by many game players. Though labled so, it is not an adventure title, nor is it a full RPG. To more appropratly describe it, it is an-interactive story with RPG elements. And speaking of story, I felt the game had the great story we have come to expect from Feist. Without a good story, most games are doomed, but this one really delivers. We really feel for the characters as we conintue to play. As for Sound and music: They are also excellent elements of this game that exceed most games I've played in quality. I really like the atmosphere that the "Voice of Arts" (the music vocalists) provides this game. Finally the graphics: Not usually the most important aspect in rating a game, they usually help the overall experience. In "Return", the graphics are made in an interesting way, that actually makes the game more real than you'd expect. That being said , While certainly, nothing groundbreaking, the graphics were fairly good. There is nothing missing from this short, but sweet game from one of the masters of fantasy fiction that should hinder one from enjoying it.

Summary: Great Game
Review: My son introduced this game to me and I thank him! My daughter has also played this game. It is the type of game that holds your interest. My grandsons like to help when I run into a particularly frustrating problem.(They are 7 & 8.) So you see "kids" of all ages can enjoy this game.
I would have given this 5 stars (actually, I would give it 4 1/2), but I found it frustrating at times. Also, the graffics could be a little better. All in all, we all enjoy this game very much.
I hope anyone who enjoys RPG, gives it a chance.
Thank you!

Summary: A Great Game
Review: Sierra must be clearing this game out of its warehouse, becausethere are suddenly a lot of copies of this game at stores for 10 bucks a pop. It's a good thing, since I wouldn't have discovered this great game if it weren't so cheap. A previous reviewer accurately descibed this game as an "interactive story with RPG elements." It thus succeeds primarily because the story is so compelling. Combat is also fun, with lots of different weapons, spells, potions, and magical items to use, as well as a good variety of opponents. The game also looks and sounds great...

Summary: Fun one to work through
Review: This game is more of a story than a game. As an RPG game, it is quite linear in plot. There are not as many subplots and/or different endings as other role playing type games. However, there is a tight story being told throughout the game. Fans of the fantasy book series this game is based on will find many things familiar here, as well as see some places more fully explored. Also, in the Feist style, the characters you see are gripping and memorable. All in all, this is kind of an interactive movie rather than a game. There is a great story being told here.
