Throne of Darkness

Rating:
Summary: Amazing on many levels
Review: This is a game you can play over and over again and it will remain fresh each time. Just play the very first scenario two or three times and you'll discover different weapons, etc. The gameplay is very similar to "Diablo" but is spiced with Japanese mythology adding a whole new flavor to it.

Summary: Just like too many role playing games
Review: This was one of the best games I have played. However, when I got into the higher levels (above 20) the whole game froze and I lost my saved information. Now, 2 weeks of play are down the drains. I will not start over, so the game is over for me and I didn't get to complete the game. This tends, in my experience, to happen with a lot of games made by Sierra. Very dissapointing. No wonder it went down in cost so fast.

Summary: Samurai says: Great Game...
Review: Throne of Darkness is quite an addictive game. If you check the reviews it has received you might notice that there hasn't been too much buzz or hype about this game. This is unfortunate because Throne is really a great game. I have found myself tied to the monitor early mornings before work trying to move my seven (only four at any given time) samurai warriors towards Tsunaioshi the dark warlord.

The graphics are truly beautiful. Set if feudal Japan the gamer must choose a clan with which he/she will set out on a journey that utilizes a gameplay quite similar to that of Diablo. There is a slight learning curve to this game, as it can become quite troublesome controlling the different abilities of four warriors at a time, not to mention monitoring their equipment/armor status for repairs. All in all this does not detract from a challenging and involving gaming experience.

...... is currently offering this gem for a meager [amt] which is a blowout price that should not be looked over. This game is guaranteed to provide hours of fun and frustration.

Enjoy,

Summary: hmmm looks...interesting
Review: Well i don't know what you like but this game would be great for me. Latly i have had a intrest in fuedal jappan (no realy!) and this game caut my eye. The gaming is much more plasible since 1)you use plays to comand team mattes instead of some odd phycic ability to to choose tier actions for them hence you use leadership skills 2)your weopons wear out like in real life 3)Is bassed on mit rather than some imployese's bad dream or something 4)millions of other tid bits So why 4 stars? well the game looks ether short or repedative and rather costly, plus i gtta bad feeling that the makers will incorparate some over-graphic violence making the game M and discuraging some people who would love this game(you know wo you are).

Summary: So so.....
Review: You move from one place to another (Zzzzzzz). The combat takes place too rapidly to interact with. I like the Japanese influence but gameplay is rather boring. You move your guys.. click on the enemy.. they kill them.. you move on. Whoopeee!
You're really better off saving your money unless you really like Japanese stuff. I'll give it three stars because the graphics don't suck.
