Summary: Short, easy, but surprisingly enjoyable!
Review: Originally attracted by the box, which you've got to admit is one of the best-looking around, I'd been thinking of buying Revenant for ages but considered it vastly overpriced (unlike Black Isle games, which seem to drop in price by at least half when they've been out for a remarkably short while). Recent lower pricing (along with the long wait for the release of Baldur's Gate 2) saw me grabbing a copy, loading it up and setting off on a short, but immensely enjoyable quest. It turned out to be a great time filler.In the single player mode, your character is Locke D'Averam, dead for 10,000 years but because of unique skills, brought back onto the mortal coil to rescue the kidnapped daughter of the head honcho of Misthaven, the main town on the island of Ahkuilon, by a mysterious magician with (surprise, surprise!) his own agenda. During his quest, aspects of Locke's past gradually reveal themselves and his visions start making sense by the end. Sounds like a poor man's "Planescape: Torment", you might think, but since nothing can compare to that epic, forget it and judge it on it's own merits. Likened by many to Diablo, this game is superior in that it actually has a reasonably compelling storyline (though badly voice acted) and the combat system is not your average hack'n'slash - you learn new battle techniques from the master as you advance. The use of a game pad is strongly recommended, though I survived all the combat encounters by pounding the hell out of my keyboard while moving about with the mouse. The scenery is beautifully rendered (the lighting is a real feature), and animation of Locke and his enemies is superb, though a tad repetitious - like the giant spiders getting stuck on the sword and having to be removed with obvious difficulty (hilarious the first time), the death gurgles of the ninja guys got old very quickly. This is the only game I've played lately where you can carry everything you find - there don't seem to be any weight limits and there are millions of slots, especially once you have a few pouches which you really need to negotiate the huge inventory you end up with (I had about 10 full suits of armour at the end - I was too scared to sell any in case I needed their special properties). Even though the armourer and weapon smith promise bigger and better equipment, you actually find the best stuff during the quest, though you need to buy some stuff to start off with. Unlike many other games, except at the very beginning, I always had enough cash to buy any potions, etc. that I needed. In fact, at the (rather abrupt) end, I had about 60 unused potions of various sorts, and about $100,000. Also, your character is usually strong enough and well enough equipped to survive most encounters pretty easily. I found the fact that he wasn't constantly being killed quite refreshing. None of the puzzles were too taxing, though I had to redo one level for the want of one vial. Even though the price was reduced, it was still fractionally more than I paid for Planescape: Torment, or for that matter, Baldur's Gate, each of which provided rich and stimulating entertainment for a couple of months. I spent exactly a week getting to the end of Revenant, and since I'd been having such fun, I was totally unprepared for it. Remember how disappointing the end of Diablo was? Ditto for Revenant - the final encounter was quite easy for my impressively armoured, well-armed and richly provisioned character and the whole thing was quickly wrapped up in a movie sequence. It left me feeling the story was only half told and that the developers just suddenly decided to get it to some sort of conclusion and out in the shops, while they got on with something else. I wish they'd just gone on with the next chapter - despite any shortcomings mentioned above, I thoroughly enjoyed it! This is the game to play when you're half concentrating on something else - in my case, LIVE coverage of the Sydney Olympics.

Summary: good action\rpg hybrid
Review: Revenant is a good game that could have been so much more if cinematix\Eidos had held on to it for a couple more weeks. This game embodies the best blending of fighting and role-playing yet to be seen in an rpg, hopefully diablo 2 will include such challenging and creative fighting techniques and encounters along with fairly strong role-playing elements. Unfortunately, the game has some glaring weaknesses that reveal it's incompleteness. My hard drive was grinding constantly and the graphics stuttered and jumped indicating unoptimized code. Too often I would try to rush into battle to gain the initiative only to have a graphical glitch slow me down or stop me all together. Also, npc's hinted at joining my character in battle but this never materialized. Hopefully, an expansion pack will be released addressing these issues and providing a much bigger world to experience more of this scintillating rpg action.

Summary: One of the most fun games I have ever played
Review: The game has to be one of the most entertaining experiences that I have had sitting at my computer. The game is short and there are some bugs, but it is still incredibly enjoyable. I think that there will be very few regrets about this game. I look forward to seeing what the online community does with the editor. It looks like you can completely recreate the game to your own design. This is a wonderful game and has some truly original elements in a genre replete with clones. Play this game and look forward to the sequel.

Summary: Revenant
Review: This game is an awesome game the first time through, and the multiplayer is excellent. The only downside to this game is that it was released early and is fairly buggy. I have experienced none of the problems that thesage did.

Summary: Well, 4 1/2 butif you like Diablo, you'll LOVE this game!!
Review: This game is sweet, and when killing monsters gets annoying for level gaining, unlike Diablo, this game has number cheats, meaning you hit number on the keyboard. although a gamepad or USB adapter is highly recconmended, you should get this all the same.
