Recover the stolen seals through strategy and brute force.

The Good
Exquisite graphics and details make for a truly immersive game-you see and hear what your character would in almost frightening detail. The game was also very true to its' parent novels world, and is a lot of fum to play and explore.

The Bad
The controls were difficult in that there are forty artifacts which, in single player mode at least, are very cumbersome to access quickly. Add-ons and patches from the website help alleviate this. Also, the single player mode has a very anti-climatic finish-it's easier at the end than at the beginning, and the final death of your character's arch nemesis is not played by the gamer,but is resolved through a video scene automatically run at the end of the game! Perhaps the multi-player version is better-please respond if you've played!

The Bottom Line
Excellent graphics and details, and, up until the end of the single player game, an overall satisfying and challenging game. Great for people who want to play a first person shoot-em-up with a heavy dose of strategic thinking required.
