I finished this games and it's by far the best RPG I've ever seen. The games world is HUGe, the story is very involved, and you can do just about anything including make your own spells.

Games such as Star Trail, Darksun, Ravenloft, Krondor - while good just don't compare.  If your looking for a game I recommend that you check this one out.

ARENA Background:

The first chapter an all-encompassing CRPG. Nine years in the making,
Arena heralds a new level of CRPG interactivity and depth. From its
first person, full screen, 360 degree rotational movement; to the over
150,000 word story; to the unique Spellmaker system where you create
thousands of spells from over 80 combinable effects. Includes full
character generation, 18 unique character classes, 2,500 magical
items, and over 400 cities, towns and villages for you to explore and
adventure on your quest to find the Staff of Chaos.

Happy Gaming over the Holidays,
