Rating: Summary: good game Review: good game, great battles, but ends too quick. Its funner taking your time and finding fights in the first 3 chapters and getting better and getting better gear. Dissapoining ending, last boss was way easier than he should have been. I enjoyed it for 15 bucks
Rating: Summary: The books are better Review: Having read the books and enjoyed them thoroughly, I bought the game. At 25 I'm an avid gamer (I've been gaming since games were invented for the 386). I was disappointed. The graphics are ok but the game play is not the greatest. Fight scenes are awkward and there are too many items to use, that are not very useful. There were just too many little things that annoyed me about this game, one of them being that there's no save-anywhere feature, you have to start at the beginning of the chapter. The story is good, but it's like Return to Krondor for Dummies. Stick with reading the books, you'll probably be disappointed with the game.

Rating: Summary: SLLLOOOOOOWWWWW Review: I got this game from a freind for free awhile back. The graphics are pritty good but the character movements are EXTREMELY slow. The characters walk all the time. The battles are pritty lame too because all of the movements are slow. In my opinion its not even worth getting for free, which is how I got it.
Rating: Summary: Fun, but also disappointing. Review: I have been a fan of this genre since my first brainwahing, which happened to be by 'Betrayal at Krondor', nearly seven years ago. The game was enveloping for several reasons. First, the graphics were state of the art for the time. Second, the story allowed some divergence from the plot without negative consequences. Third, the plot was well developed and engendered emotional ties to the characters. Finally, it was plain fun and challenging. Return to Krondor had big shoes to fill, no doubt. However, while I found the game enjoyable, I did not find it enveloping. It was missing several components which made the first so great. The plot was very static, with very few and very minor diversions made available. Explorers don't seem welcome. Second, the plot and character development seemed very thin. At the end, I didn't care much about the folks in the story. Finally, it was too short, which is probably a function of the lack of divergences. When you have no fun side paths, you head great guns toward the finish line. Nevertheless, perhaps the notion that I thought it was too short is a mark in its favor. I wanted more.
Rating: Summary: Great Game Review: I have played this game plenty of times and I thought that it was a great game. Yes, at times it seems a little glitchy but it has just to good of a story line and it has so many good weapons that you can recieve. This is just one of the best games that I have ever played!
Rating: Summary: Great play, Disappointing Plot Review: I played Betrayal At Krondor and I played it twice more, just for the plot. It was like reading your favourite book over and over again. But Return to Krondor was disappointing. The graphics and the sound were great, but where is that sense of adventure that was present in Betrayal? RTK is extremely thin on the plot, though the introduction led me to expect more out of the plot, with the mysterious Tear of Ishap etc. And favourite characters like Jimmy the Hand became much like a string puppet, walking only where the game wants you to. I didn't like that. The character upgrades were faster than Betrayal but for an avid fan of the Raymond E. Feist's books on Krondor, it was a great disappointment. It almost felt like the author was withholding much of the plot so that he had something to write in his new book, which left the gamers with little. If the plot was better developed, it would have been a longer game but well worth it.
Rating: Summary: You need to play it more than once to appreciate it Review: I played the game three times and only on the third time found it in me to deviate from the path the plot was forcing on me and explore around a bit. The reward was unexpected: the game has a lot more plot than originally appears, you just need to poke around Krondor a little bit in the first three chapters. Although mildly frustrating, I found it also somehow appealing that all the little sub-plots were so deeply hidden that you had to really abandon the compelling main storyline and search around. The game is by itself one big puzzle. That's what I liked about it, and that's what I think many people don't know. My advice: for maximum enjoyment, don't race to finish the game. The first time I played it, I was done in four days (playing two or three hours a day). The third time around, it took me two weeks (playing up to four hours a day). It's worth it.
