Summary

One of the worst games SSI has ever published...

The Good

Do I like this game? No. Hahaha.

Honestly, this has got to be one of the most irritating RPG's I've ever played. The only reason why I ever finished this game is that I happened to come across the clue book.

Anyway, the only thing worth mentioning is that this game is probably one pioneer in bringing "live actors" in a game. Each time you meet an important character, you have a cinematic image of him/her for a couple of seconds.

Well, the game itself is your average 3rd Person Perspective game in those days. Up down left right, statistics, the works. Nothing new worth mentioning really.

The Bad

Boy, this game has to have one of the worst story lines ever created by man. I've seen worst but one would expect better ideas from Strategic Simulations Inc. Probably why they went down under.... anyway, as I said the story line is weak. Your master gets killed, you avenge him and end up fulfilling a prophecy that saves the world. Been there done that...my God! What will they think of next? Strange people actually get paid to think up such ideas.

The Bottom Line

If I were to describe this game to others, I'd say Homer Simpson would have better ideas in creating a game...
