Pretty Darn Good [Posted on 2004-06-27]
This Game is very fun, and provides a lot of gameplay. There are three types of classes you can play as: the Warrior, the Conjuror, and the Wizard, each having unique stats to suit their class. for example, the wizard is EXTREMELY weak, but is excellent in the use of magic. The warrior does no magic, only skills, but is very strong. The conjuror can summon beasts to aid you during battle, and can do simple magic such as cure, stun, and meteor.

The overall difficulty is not that hard, as you will only need to replay a few things rarely (besides the last boss of course). The Wizards and Warriors hate each other, i might add. Each class has a different storyline view, as if you play as the warrior, you must overrun the wizards' tower in order to gain the heart of nox, a part of a powerful staff you are trying to assemble in order to defeat hecubah, the main enemy in the game. If you play as a wizard, however, you must defend the wizards' tower from hecubahs ogre army, and later on sneak into the warrior's main dwelling using a stealth spell. The conjuror is the friend of both wizard AND warrior, so not much of a challenge when you are getting some of the staff parts

regardless of what other people say, i think the multiplayer totally sucks in this game. There is no point or much fun in doing this. whichever character you choose, your character is at a really high level, and knows every spell and skill available, so this does not give much of a challenge at all, and becomes VERY irritating and frustrating

The story is pretty interesting, you are sucked into a new world from your....living room??? yes your living room, and it turnes out you do not know how to come back, but you know you are unsafe where you are, so you team up with good and chase after hecubah, the used-to-be last remaining necromancer who is plotting against ruling all "nox" which is the land in which you battle in.

the only problem i have is that there are not enough enemies a lot of times....in a dungeon a lot of the time you are running and running, then run into a few enemies...maybe 5 or 6...then you run more...and it goes on like this

overall, the game is not much of a challenge, but it is quite fun for quite a while, and I recommend you buy this game. If you enjoyed Diablo, then this is a game for you

Online Gameplay Dissolved!! [Posted on 2005-08-09]
Originally I would have givven this game a 10 out of 5. This is one of the most original and creative games I have ever played! I could play for weeks on end withought getting board with this game. Unfortunately I recently found out that this game can no longer be played online...This crushed my soul into oblivion! This was quite possibly the BEST MULTIPLAYER RPG EVER. Now it's just a memory from a distant past. The blame for this great injustice falls on EA Games, who decided to dissolve one of their branches Called Westwood Studios (the creators and sole online supporters of NOX). Man I miss this game...

A classic I still play after many years [Posted on 2005-10-12]
Oh boy, i got this game what...5-6 years ago?

And guess what. This is the only game that after having so long I still pull out and play again.

I wont bother to tell you what the game is like, you can read the other 20+ reviews for that. I will tell you this is my #1 PC game and it is a pitty that this was not one of those "Big Hit" games, becuase it should have been.

And to dispell a rumor, EA did cut off the service to NOX online play, but has now restored it (as of me writing this review)

Best Game Ever! [Posted on 2006-12-30]
Nox is just about the best game ever. I can play it for hours, and so can my brothers. I'm surprised there aren't more Nox games. The controls are easy, the graphics are good, and the gameplay is amazing. If you like to play computer games, you'll like Nox.

If you like Diablo, read on. [Posted on 2008-06-17]
I picked up my first copy of Nox up on a whim and I was hooked. Sort of in the vein of Diablo, Nox is a great RPG. It will definitely keep you hooked for a very long time. If you download the expansion pack (search online for it as the server for the game no longer exists), you can do single challenges.
