I didn’t want too cuz it would take up time, but fine ill give a brief overview.
The best parts about this game are:
- The great side-quests and minor plots. Have allot of character and individuality to them.
- Great sound.
- The voice acting is amazing considering every NPC has a voice.
- NPCs are great. Many have awesome personalities.
- Party members are nicely done. A few great personalities and allot of comments and interaction from them.
- You can be a total scumbag character.
- The worlds are small but have lots of detail.
These are some of the minor flaws in the game.
- The plot is nothing special, without any depth at all.
- Evil characters motivation is a little weak (as always).
- The game is very easy, the puzzles they offer are pre-school level at best, and quests take no time to figure out.
- The mini-game are neat but not too well developed. The swoop-bike racing could really be a bit more envolving and challenging; while Palzak or whatever its called is just a modified game of 21.
- The combat tactics are pretty basic, power up, use debilitating weapons/powers, follow up by the main attack. The little micro-management which is needed once a battle starts usually involves bossing around the dumb party members.
- Character customization is okay. Better then most games but the lack of weapon and spell variety limits character options.
- Graphics are nice but nothing new or special, a bit disappointing considering my computer lags on high detail.
- There is a general lack of cool things that you can find in the game. There are a few neat items but they doesn’t really suffice.
- There is a lack of areas to explore that have nothing to do with the main quests. Very few hidden treasures for those that look in every nook.
Phew, I ended up writing way more then I intended. As you can see there is some good and some bad. I don’t feel that the good totally outweighs the bad. There were other games like Fallout and Baldur’s Gate which had flaws as well but had elements that were so engrossing that they made you forget about the rest. This game doesn’t do that for me. Hence the revised score of 7.5/10.
