Summary
If you missed the chance to play "Betrayal at Krondor" this will makes it all worthwhile...
The Good
To say what is good about the game is a tough one, because everything in the game is a perfect blend of a superb RPG. The graphics are excellent, with a touch of a Quest for Glory game play. The music is definitely original (and you can save it for your personal use) and you gotta love battle mode.
The Bad
Although I do call this an excellent game, the faults of the game are much easier to remember than the good stuff.
The game lacks originality, just another extension of your typical Quest for Glory and similiar RPG's. The isn't enough random encounters, it kinda funny playing an RPG where you have to find your enemies. I do recall the fabulous days of AD&D where "too many" enemies was never enough.
Unfortunately in this game if you follow the game plot to strictly you'd end up finishing the game "too" quickly, so it is advised to take as long as possible in playing the game.
It was kinda disappointing that the game play was different from Betrayal at Krondor, where you were expecting the "Doom" type view (what do you call that..?) but the battle mode didn't change that much so it really doesn't matter.
Despite the bad stuff I said about the game, its still a "Best-Buy" in my book.
The Bottom Line
RPG priority 1.
