Rating: Summary: Great play Review: Even my 8 year old daughter has been intrigued by the story and action of this game. One of the first lessons she learned, within about one hour of play, was how a buy and sell market worked. She was amazed that it cost more to buy the same item than she could sell it for, allowing me to explain to her how the marketplace works. We have spent many enjoyable hours together reading this book and moving through the richly textured landscape. And she doesn't mind starting over when she is overun by water beetles in the depths of Avalon.
Rating: Summary: ACK! Review: Great game, yup, but the cd's still not available in the UK.
Rating: Summary: An superb game Review: I have played a fair number of RPG games, but rarely have I been so pulled into a game for more than just the ability to fight or to cast spells. There is actually a PLOT in this game, and it is clearly well thought-out and integrated. The character interactions are great and the graphics are more than adequate. It does happen that the game has moments of monotony, but they are thankfully brief; maybe it is my poor memory, but I also forget where some characters are, so when I have to go visit someone I saw two Chapters before, it it annoying to have to run all over and find them. Also, I found that the loading time between screens can be a bit too long. However, with that said, this is one of the best RPG games I have ever played and look forward to seeing what else Global Star can put out. Play and Enjoy!

Rating: Summary: This is great!!! Review: I've had this thing a months and i'm only 1/3 of the way through a game(I have beaten it but I have to go back and play as another character.) I have to say that I have one problem, the interface can be tricky and it takes some time to load. Other then that it is an enjoyable experience.
Rating: Summary: Siege of Avalon Review: One of the best rpg games of the year - You startout as a young boy going to Avalon to find your brother and end up being the last hope of saving Avalon form falling to the murderous Sha'Ahoul. Your quest takes you through 6 chapters of exciting fun (it's like playing a book)! Not to mention the outstanding support from the creative team, who continually update the product and add new quests in with the updates! Truely an outstanding product! As the company says:"Played any good books lately?"
Rating: Summary: the many problems of siege of avalon Review: Thanks for reading my review of this game. At first I was addicted to the thing:), but as time wore on the game siege of avalon really got boring in the middle:(. Especially the dumb(no offense to the creators and desighners etc...)Party members. But the reason I gave it a good review is with a walkthrough it's a pretty decent game. Sure, without the walkthrough it's nigh impossible, and if you mess up your screwed for the whole game. But it inspired me. So please get a walkthrough, and this game.

Rating: Summary: Like playing a book! Review: The best RPG I have ever played..better then Diablo I & II. It is like playing a great novel...lots of playing time. An RPGer must. Very reasonable at 29.95.
Rating: Summary: A great story, a great price, a great game! Review: This game is an unexpected treasure. It is a first release from makers Digital Tome who are focusing on putting a real STORY into a good game. Their tag line is "Played Any Good Books Lately?" and it sets the tone for this product. This is something of a cross between Diablo and Baldur's Gate. Easy to learn, simple and effective interface and controls, lots of conversation and talking NPC's to advance a real plot. It takes a while to earn your way into the more advanced sections of the game, you can not even add members to your Party until you reach Chapter 2 (there are 6 Chapters on this Anthology CD -- which covers the whole Siege of Avalon story). The good news is that the game is sufficiently fun and addicting that you'll work you way into the features, the different game worlds, and the deceptively diverse whole experience quickly enough to come to appreciate what has been accomplished with this rather unique game design idea. There is a ton of information (online...). It is a shame they don't advertise this more, this title deserves a lot more recognition that it is getting.
