Rating: Summary: Four endings? 200 Story Lines? Review: The first time through this DVD it was enjoyable and entertaining and quite fun picking my own path. However, the box advertised 200 story lines and 4 alternate endings. Not so; I played the game 7 or 8 times and each alternate path ultimately brought everyone back together on the same path once again and each time (with the alternate paths) brought me back to the same final scene. The death of an old friend and the escape of the villain. Where are the 4 alternate endings? It was fun the first and second time after that I became very disappointed and bored and decided, for the money, it wasn't worth it. Another reviewer said split the cost with friends and enjoy it together. That is the best option.
Rating: Summary: This was very, very entertaining! Review: This film was really very entertaining for any lover of the Fantasy genre. Did any of you see the film "Dungeons and Dragons". Well, that was a "minus 5" on a scale of 5, and this interactive feature is NOTHING like that piece of horrid tripe. This is actually good! Now, don't expect earth-shattering acting or the meaning of life, but this is a FUN, 3-D (think "Shrek" style animation, but more serious) ADVENTURE, where you can explore things and places, and replay it and change the outcomes! Very worth the money.
Rating: Summary: A promising start... Review: Unfortunately I have to base my opinion on this disc just on the demo so far. The storyline is interesting with well-defined and sympathetic characters, and the voice acting is pretty well-done. My only real complaint about the disc is that everything is so darned *dark*. Even in daytime, there seem to be deep shadows everywhere, which only serves to draw attention to the sometimes-jerky animation. Even so, this is a far cry better than the "choose-your-own-adventure" movie experiments they had back in the 80's. *shudder* Hopefully this is just the beginning of a whole new utilization of DVD technology. I'm looking forward to seeing where it leads.
Rating: Summary: These aren't the druids I once knew! Review: What a fantastic adventure! I have been anticipating the release of this DVD for many weeks now and I am glad to finally have it in my hand. I highly recommend this to everyone. It is fresh and original and is an innovative use of DVD technology. I congratulate anyone that worked on this. My wife and 9 kids like watching this so much that I get bugged every night "DAD! DAD! Let's play that DVD again!" And I don't see them tiring of it any time soon considering how many possible endings there are! If you have not purchased this DVD, YOU SHOULD!!
Rating: Summary: It's Bad Review: While you supposedly have a way of getting other stories, the outcome is the same. Either you die, or you don't, and what happens really doesn't change.Then there is no background for the characters. You have to care about the characters, BEFORE you can care about whether or not the die. I'm still wondering how the 3 of them ended up together. That was probably an interesting story. This DVD is just bad, I wish I hadn't bought it.
