Rating: Summary: Great gift item Review: Bought this game for my younger brother, and he loves it. He's played it over and over again and hasn't gotten bored with it. There's always something new to find.
Rating: Summary: Two stars, and that's only for the graphics... Review: Come now, who here really thinks they put some time into designing this game? The game's story is as horrible as it is cliché and is being voice acted by people that sound too much like a student film class working on a mid-term project.Combat consistis of clicking your mouse button in timed bursts or uning an asinine keybord interface to swing your weapon in three different strengths. Whee. Magic spell creation is novel, but quickly become tedious and dangerous in the middle of combat when you're trying like a madman (or madwoman) to heal yourself, but can't get the runes lined-up in time. And even the graphics, which are nice, are loaded with bugs. In most cases, whenever an enemy would drop an item, the background would spring 'holes' of black space around it and cause nemerous graphic flaws until it would finally crash without explination. Furthermore, some enemies would become 'stuck' in some void on your screen preventing you from being able to attack it! Overall, a terrible clone attempt at Diablo that should make Eidos ashamed...and let's not even bring up Dikatana, okay?

Rating: Summary: Comes close Review: Control is a lacking feature in this game. It alos seems to be a bit too linear in its play making it lack in the RPG category. All in all I found it to be enjoyable and I loved the Jerry Garcia herb dealer. Nicely done.
Rating: Summary: review Review: Great game, good graphics, good fights, challenging mazes and pullzes.
Rating: Summary: Solid game, worth every penny .... Review: I got a good deal on this game. I purchased it ... at a local retailer and the thought 'if it sucks i'm not out much' went through my mind. I brought it home and installed it not expecting much out of this game. Once I started playing though I was blown away. This is a great game in the spirit of Diablo 2 and Nox. You start out as a revenant, a resurrected spirit with no recollection of your past. You must fight an evil cult and rescue the king's daughter, at least I think he was a king, i didn't really pay much attention because the dialogue is annoying in this game. Aside from the annoying dialogue, and it is very annoying, the rest of the game rocks. The way spells are cast is interesting and different from normal games where scrolls are memorized or written in a magic book. The melee combat is good because your character has 4 different attacks instead of the one slash attack in Diablo 2. Granted he can't learn a whirlwind attack or leap attack but who cares? That's not realistic anyway. The graphics and sound are both very good. The only problem is sometimes I have difficulties picking up items off the ground, especially if they are hidden behind the leaves of a tree. Also, sometimes you will get stuck behind a rock or the edge of a fence line and it takes a bit to get unstuck, but you never remain there forever. I also like the way I can see enemies on my map so if my health is very low and I have no food or potions I can avoid them, making my way back to town. This game is worth as much as $36.95. I might have given it a few more dollars if it weren't for the annoying dialogue.

Rating: Summary: A Great Game-I Recommend It Review: I truely enjoyed this game from the start to the end. I liked the fact one could carry an unlimited number of items, I found it refreshing that one doesn't need a strategy guide to get through it. I thought the graphics and non-player type characters were great. The only problem I had was the intro video, it for some reason wouldn't play right on my machine, but I found it no big deal since one usualy only watches that the first time they go to play the game anyway. I found myself looking forward to playing it whenever I had free time. I fully recommend it if you like a lot of hack n' slash, cool graphics & sounds, and a character that can get away with saying some quite offensive dialog to people and get away with it. My friends who played it so far also loved it and got a big kick out of it.
Rating: Summary: Fun the first time. Review: It's one of the best action rpg mixes in a while, but I say rpg reluctantly because it has a singalur plotline and no replay value. The first time through however, it is one of the best games ever.
Rating: Summary: GREAT GAME! ..... for a week or so.... Review: Maybe it's just me but 2 of my friends also got tired of this game in less than a week. I've also heard complaints that the game has many bugs. Though I never experianced any bugs on my comp I know it does clash with many different comp systems. Don't go by what I say though, try the game for yourself!
