Rating: - I bought it twice
I repurchased this game after selling it two years ago. True, it's similar to the previous series, but the big difference is replay value on the Plain of Eternity. Whatever your character--like that mistress of death and disease, the shadow elf--you'll revisit boss fights that let you retreat while setting devious traps.
In particular, and my reason for repurchase, is the Soul Break stage. You've escaped a cell, with only your fists to fight with. You must release other captives while dealing with skeletons, giants, and carnivorous flying fish. Handily, dynamite kegs are plentiful for setting traps and barriers. You can even barricade yourself in a cell while healing up. One of the faq sites has a way to level up weak characters, who really have no chance here.
Strong points: full camera control with 2-level zoom in; nearly unlimited level up ability; various glitches, such as bosses who unexpectedly walk through your barrier. Weak points: hard to say. It would be nice to have the kind of atmospherics in the Dreamcast game Draconus: bird sounds, distant wolves, rain, midnight waterfalls. Also, enemies don't regenerate, so it can get lonely looking for the key to the next level. But that's what faqs are for.
Rating: - play again and again!
If you like Balder's Gate and Champions of Norrath, then you'll love this game. The best two-player game out there. We played again and again with different characters. I just wish there was a sequal to this one...
Rating: - Quick and Efficient!!!
The game i purchased for my husband was just what he wanted and he loves playing this game. the payment process was quick and simple and our package arrived in an efficient timely manner and could not be happier with the product. thanks so much!!!
Rating: - Great addition
I have been really happy with this game. The new weapons are cool and a nice addition. Most classes get a new spell or two. I don't really care for the two new character classes, but I am sure they have their good points. I really like the option of going through the game on the side of good or evil - it gives the game a little better replay value (I would replay it anyway). Bonus games are a nice touch too. When you beat the bonus levels/bosses the game usually gives some sort of upgrade to your characters stats.
