Horrible

Lazy development shines through

Right off the bat I notice the story is weak and the narration is really bad, but I try to look past all of that and enjoy the game. Well the first thing I do when I gain control is check the options so I can invert my camera. Guess what? There is no such option. I am completely disgusted by this fatal flaw. This is a glaring example of lazy development. That pretty much sets the tone for the game. Which is a real shame, because I really wanted to like this. I sent it back the same day I received it. This is a complete waste of a rental. Do yourself a favor and rent something else.

I had high hopes for this game for a long time. Like everyone else I read the reviews, looked at screenshots, etc. I am the type of player who will play about any game, no matter what reviews it gets. Sometimes games with the worst reviews interests me, and can be fun. Anyway about the game>
Pros: Decent looking graphics, and story line.
Cons: Lack of character design (none)
Glitchy, I did not have some of the problems some of the others had,eg falling off maps, weird saves, none of this happened to me.
Of course I only played like 3 boards, but belive me thats enough. I got 5 achievement points for this and I sent it back. I might beat it if I was dumb enough to buy it.
The game to me is way to dark, each person has a spell in inventory to let them have night vision.

I could go on and on, but I won't. To wrap up, I think if you are wanting a rpg get Oblivion, it makes this look like Atari. You never know until you try the game you might like it. Good for you!!!!!!!

some name brands you come and trust-ubisoft for one, days are different now, games come more as an investment, given the price. i serious don't know where to start, the story line tries there best to reel you in, but cheesy animations, less then mediocore voice overs, had this been an upand coming company, i may not have been so harse, but this is the same company that brought you assasin creed, this really was a step backwards for the company.
