In my opinion the game is great. [Posted on 2008-03-02] This is a really great for the style and type it is. I personally love non-linear type games that have plenty of side quests and each action determines a different outcome... just like in real life. Arcanum is highly playable and highly replayable. There are a few kinks in the script of the game and a few glitches here and there, but they don't affect the overall gameplay quality. Arcanum has to be what you're looking for in a game or you won't like it. It's that simple... the same holds true for any game. You don't need other people's opinions about it. Go try it for your self!
Arcanum [Posted on 2008-04-30] Great rpg. Has one of the best skill system evere, where you choose between magic and thecknology. It look a bit out dated graphical, but if your a fan of turned based rpgs this is a sure wonner.
Great game. NOT THE ORIGINAL PACKAGING!!! [Posted on 2008-05-22] Eventhough this game is one of my all time, favorite games. The picture that they use(d if changed) to show the game is honestly False. And I Bought the game thinking that I would get the jewelcase and everything that came with the game, when it was new (the picture thet makes it look like the game come in a box). But that was not the case (think the normal plastic game case that's used when they try to get out the last cents out of the game).
So as i said, this is a great game that deserved a purchase when Troika existed and it still deserves a buy now. I just hope, that the original creators atleast get royalties, for mine and yours purchase.
I let others tell a more indepth and (more grammaticaly correct) objective review.

I LOVE this game! [Posted on 2008-07-14] I love this game! I was so glad to find it since I lost my original a while ago and they don't sell it in stores anymore. Even better it works with Vista Home Premium! I was worried I wouldn't be able to run it with all of Vista's issues but I have played the game 3/4 of the way through without a glitch.
