Summary: One of the most awesome games ever
Review: I got game a few weeks ago because it was cheap, and I was bored. It was one of the best gaming decisions I've ever made! This game is creepy, funny, touching, and mysterious all at the same time. You will be drawn into its world from the first few moments of gameplay.
One of the coolest things about Planescape: Torment is how detailed it is. The landscapes are beautiful and haunting. The characters are so in-depth, you'll feel as if you're right there with them. Even the zombies are individuals (which will definitely creep you out when you're in the mortuary). The story is so good, that you start playing and next thing you know, it's four in the morning and you *still* don't want to quit! This game ranks as one of my all-time favorites, and for many good reasons.

Summary: the best PC game out there
Review: The absolutely best thing about this game is that you do't die (at least, not forever) and have the ability to revive your dead companions so you can really concentrate on the game and get really involved and carried away by the amazing storyline(s) and not get obssesed on saving every 10 seconds. I also loved the other characters (especially Morte, the floating skull, which keeps the game from becoming way too serious and dark). Unlike many other games, they have personalities and interesting backgrounds (who'd guess you'd end up having a t'annari as a party member? Or a bodiless suit of armor? Or a girl with a tail who is constantly teased by the floating skull?). It is very unconventional and fun (really, the guys at Black Isle who wrote the storyline for this game should be out there writing movie scripts in their spare time. Hollywood could sure use their talent). I recommend this game especially for people who enjoy roleplaying and who are tired of battles, battles and even more battles

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fun Adventures
Review: Planscape Torment is a very good game. It combines real life with imortality and fairy tales. You start out in a mortuary not knowing anything and slowly come up to the point where you learn everything. You have to roam around trying to find infomation about where your mortality is. But at the same time you have to complete quests. I'm not sure what happens at the end but I think it's something good.

Summary: Torment
Review: I'm not going to knock BI, this is an awesome game, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would and actually felt that it was a bit limited as far as the games I have seen them roll onto the market. The graphics are awesome, the effects are awesome, and the storyline is great. The only complaint that I have is the character was pre-generated. I hoped that it would have been more open.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A truly stellar game.
Review: While the box art may not be the prettiest, and the game may not have sold as many copies as some others - this is easily one of _the_ deepest roleplaying games written on a computer. It has a LOT of text - which may put some off - but the depth of story and characterisation is second to none.
It's one of very, very few games that I've ever gone back to after completing, and played through again - there's so much detail, and different ways to accomplish similar aims, that two runs through the game can be quite different - and yet both amazing.
Thoroughly recommended - and an absolute steal at the price now!

Review: Very stylish, gory and great character development.

One of the best RPGs I've played. ...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Greatest of all RPGs
Review: Despite nearly a complete lack of publicity at the time of its release and generally poor sales, Planescape: Torment is as close to the absolute paradigm for a game as I can think of. The graphics, though dated, and indeed the entire game itself display a artistic character, darkness and maturity that Black Isle has yet to duplicate. The characters are each unique, interesting and suprisingly believable - even the immortal Nameless One, whose quest to find his mortality - to find death - is both grand in scope, masterful in the telling and ironically, easy to relate to, in some way. Torment has it all - themes of love, life, loss and the bonds between people that transcend everything... even death itself. A better story was never told in any game I've seen in my lifetime.

Rating: 5 stars

Review: Another great game from Black Isle. Wonderful storyline. A must have RPG.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: best rpg I have ever played
Review: This is the best RPG I have ever played. The storyline are character interaction are far superior even to Baldur's Gate. This is not like other games. The atmosphere of the game really pulls you in. For starters you wake up on a slab in a morgue with no memories but notes to yourself tatooed on your skin. And in the room with you is Morte the floating skull who tells you he's your friend. How is that for a way to start a game. The game is big, you won't be disappointed there. It is not a new game so you don't need the latest Pentium IV and latest graphics card to run it. The graphics are not as eye popping as today's games, but this is a truly awesome game.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: waste your time and bucks
Review: Those reviewers giving it 4 or 5 stars are fools.
The game is a piece of .... An hex on Black Isle Studios.
