Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

I just finished the game and I thought I should share my opinion. I am a little OCD when it comes to RPG style games. I like to check everything, I like to complete all the quest. I am not very happy with this game. There really was no reward. Well accept fictional money and I had well over 8 million in funds when I finished. Yes I said 8 Million. I am sure i could have been over 10 if I would have kept selling the stuff I picked up instead of salvaging for parts the last half of the game. So the facts: Amalur plays a lot like an MMO. The quest and some of the character models reminded me of Dark age of Camelot. Some of the action reminded me of DAOC as well. It was almost like someone took pieces of several games and just kind of mushed them together. Weapon levels are HORRIBLE, just intensely stupid. I mean I almost have to believe its bad coding. I had green weapons that I picked up that said level 10 that were more powerful then rare items that said level 16. Finally item management is just terrible. You end up with some much trash, some of which you cant get rid of. There are rooms you cant enter, chest you cant open and worse yet there is still no fix after two dlc packages. On the positive note the main quest kept my interest and combat flowed well. However the most disappointing part of this game has to be general traveling. Your character does not jump and I found myself consistently walking along getting stuck having to walk around what the character should have thought of as a small incline. It was almost like my character would have gotten stuck crossing the road because a median was in the middle and he couldn't understand how to step over it.
