I must agree with one of the other commentators on this terrible game. Yes the graphics are nice, but thats it. There is no story of any use at all. When you have commands like ASK "where is closest dungeon", you know you've got problems. Initially i was quite excited about playing this game, but after a few hours of gameplay, I noticed it was incredibley tedious. Go into dungeon, hit monsters, sleep, hit monsters, sleep,... leave dungeon. Go to next town, ASK "where is closest dungeon" Go into dungeon... etc etc Oh yeah and the occasional robbing of a temple or Mage shop during the night, real thrilling. I took to running thru the streets chopping up the passerbyes just for kicks. And then a thrilling fight with the local constabulary, oh boy, oh goody. I blew this game off my drive while halfway thru the goblin dungeon. If you found this game very entertaining, then you must be amused quite easily. ------------------------------------------------------------------ GAME CRITIQUE AND ENGINEERING STUDENT par EXCELLANCE Ben Winterburn... These are opinions are now yours as well.. __________________________________________________________________
