Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

ok well some people gave it horrible ratings... which i can relate to but, this game is'nt very fun from the start... unless your online... but once you get higher in the game... its a blast to play it again...

I brought my little brother to the mall to buy a new game with some of his Christmas money. He was torn between this game and Oblivion GOTY. I told him he couldnt go wrong with Obliv. since i was still a little skeptical about this game. But I wasnt about to tell him what to do with his money and so he got this. We brought it home and the game turned out be be...suprisingly good. Its an action RPG where you run around doing quests, killing things and leveling up while trying to get the best gear possible. The controls are pretty simple and easy to learn after a brief tutorial in the begining. I only played for a little while but this is what I can tell you about the game so far. The game play is fun and challenging. only if you enjoy endless hack and slash games. If those dont appeal to you then you probably wont enjoy this. One flaw with combat is there is no block and no jump. The camera can also be a pain during combat, but you quickly get used to it. There is virtually and endless amount of loot that you can sell to idols randomlly located throughout that maps that are also randomlly generated. the maps although large are very linear but beautifully designed. at the idols you you can buy, sell and store items. you can also use and option called synthesis. I havent quite figured it out yet but basically you combine 2 or more items to make a better one. There are 4 characters at the start with 2 unlocable. Each has own skills and traits and attack styles. You can also learn new skills and recieve quests in your dream world. Depending on what character you are there will be someone there to help you. As oppsed to buy new skills like in many other games in this one you have to kill a certain enemy so many times and then you can get the skill or spell from your dreamworld person. kinda cool actually. The mutiplayer is a blast. With a max of four to a room. everything is the same as single player except enemies get stonger each time a player joins. Long, solid game.
