I love the game, but... [Posted on 2001-06-03]
I was excited, so I had to rush out and buy this game. The first disappointment was finding out that my boyfriend and I would have to take turns on a 100 hour + game!!! After watching the game play, I immediately discovered how incomplete the game really was. It seemed as if the less important NPCs were supposed to have voices. Also, since the character roster can hold 15 characters it seems logical that my boyfriend and I at one time could have shared the game. If you want proof on how incomplete this game is; look at the patch and the fixes it makes. The list is long. However, this "unsupported patch" is still not enough to make the game enjoyable. This gives a pretty good idea on how underdeveloped this game really is. I feel as though Activison ripped me off for the second time this month with this game. They should do right by game fans and fix this game. A game I would otherwise worship. This is truly a shame.

How can a game so buggy be released? [Posted on 2001-07-04]
This game wants to play well. It invites you to keep playing, but the number of bugs and the size of the bugs makes this game a total failure. One should not have to "work around" issues, such as changing resolutions when not being able to surface after swimming under water in one(so far)situation. When you try to surface, the surface of the water behaves like brick wall and you drown, but change to "software rendering", shut the game down, restart, and then you can get out! These are things that as players, we should not have to "figure out". A friendly NPC blocks your way. You're not supposed to kill him, but you HAVE to if you want to go past him. Supposedly, there is a patch that will allow you to push him out of the way. Doesn't work. What a shame, this game could have been worth it, but as is, don't waste your money.

Decent game could use a lot of improvement [Posted on 2001-10-11]
While the premise and story of this game is well-thought out, there are an awful lot of bugs, as well as a clumsy interface. One thing is that the "walking" feature of this game assumes that you want to walk exactly where you want to put the cursor (such as down into the ground). There's also a "look" feature which does essentially the same thing, except you don't move, and when you stop "looking", your head does not move back. This makes quick movement adjustments and targeting monsters in combat extremely difficult. A simple automatic "view re-centering" button would greatly improve this game, but it doesn't have it. This flaw seemed worse when I accidentally attacked an NPC standing next to a bunch of monsters chewing on my party. The graphics are decent but not outstanding, although I can let that part slip considering the time this game was made. At least it did work on my standard machine. Also, I don't agree with the designers about not allowing you to save games while you are in a town (you can only save games while out adventuring). I haven't downloaded any patches yet so I don't know what other bugs I can look forward to. I will say though, that it is a worthwhile game now that the price has halved from a year ago...its not worth $... but certainly worth $... If you can get used to the difficult interface, it's about as good as the first Might & Magic games (1-4) with a bit more character interaction and quests.

One of the best games i ever played on the computer. [Posted on 2001-12-13]
This is a good game if you like games involving wizardry and a bunch of different other things like that. If you want a game where you will never get bored by this game.

The best game I ever played. [Posted on 2002-01-03]
