Surely Blizzards finest hour

The Good
This game gets almost everything right. From the intro sequence,to the amazingly Duke nukemish main character, to the medieval/new age setting. I must agree that there is a most common misconception that blizzards latest games where better, this game really shines with originality, a worth heir to flashback.

The Bad
well, there's one thing, the "hide in shadows" gunplay really doesnt stand for much since you can always "roll in" a scene guns blazing and take everybody down. And the levels could use a little sinematique sequencies ala Flashback, Otherwise, all is well.

The Bottom Line
A mosty noble attempt to serious platforming in the vein of Dephine's greatests. Now, if only they could publish the engine...if a blizzard representative is reading this, please, do the "ANOTHER WORLD FAN CLUB UNITED" a favour and publish it, its not like youre still making money off it.'
