Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased this game because it was compared to games like Fable, Elder Scrolls and Knights of the Old Republic. As an RPG collector, I am back logged and haven’t given this a thorough play or analysis, but I from the first few hours I gave it I know I will play this game to as much completion as I can. Typically I play turn-based RPGs, but since they are growing thinner and thinner, I purchased this being a fan of the above. Most disappointing are the character interaction scenes. I have never read anything from R. A. Salvatore so I wasn’t sure what to expect story wise, but the story is typical fantasy, Dungeons and Dragons jive. I appreciate the somewhat stylized caricature-like characters and graphics done by Todd McFarlane. Especially, in an era of gaming where more games attempt to be more realistic. The skill system is similar to most games of this breed, which is good for me because it allows me to just sink in and play without having to learn a whole new set of rules, and with a refreshing action oriented combat system, this game is a delight. One complaint I’ve heard is that the game claimed to be open world, but that instead it is made to look open world. As previously mentioned to me that is not necessarily a bad thing, thus far the game play seems nonlinear, which is a plus and having some restrictions makes the game less overwhelming. In a sense it is similar to Knights of the Old Republic. The sandbox style open world types of games really overwhelm me and in turn, eventually bore me. Therefore games like the Elder Scrolls series, though intriguing, are hard for me to get really into. I spent five years playing Morrowind and a lot of that was simply exploring the world and getting side tracked from missions. Gameplay like this can be fun, and the fact that I played it for five years shows that I can get involved, but an experience like that is too long for me. All in all, if the game claimed to be one thing and failed in that attempt, that is truly a shame because for what this is, it is a very well executed game. Ultimately, this game is a great adventure. It is decently written, but feels like it borrows too much from other similar games. This game is fairly inexpensive so there is no reason not to pick this up if someone likes the types of games mentioned at the start of this review and is looking for another option in the wild world of western rpgs.

really enjoy playing this. no lock-on point and shoot, you have to make smart choices to advance in the game.

as the title to my review says this games combat is probably the best I've ever played in an RPG. there are many weapons, powers, and play styles. the world is very massive and vibrant with color and quests. the only thing I didn't like was the very dull storyline but i'm happy to say that the combat was enough to keep me playing through it.

You will get your $$$ worth out of this game. The graphics are not the greatest but it is an older game. Lots of content and places to explore.

Had a lot of fun playing this game. The storyline kept me interested and would play it again.

A lot to do in this game. Stay entertained the whole storyline with lot of side quests and exploration.

The premise and graphics are awesome. Very dark and cool game!

Pretty cool game good graphics, lots of different storylines and side missions to take a lot of weapon upgrades overall pretty cool game

I love the game it is very entertaining, alot of different areas to visit and activities to acomplish

Good game play but bad graphics. There is a huge world to walkthrough which I love cause it makes the game take a lot longer to finish.

I still havent finished this, but do plan on it. It really is a great game. Prior to this I always wondered why there wasnt any RPG type games with combat like God of War, this fills that bill. It really is a shame that the studio was shut down, it would have been nice to see what they would have come up with next. But if you love sword slashing, magic slinging combat, and all that comes with an RPG. This is a great game for that.

I do enjoy video games, quite a lot. But at this point in my life, it's difficult to play them for long stretches of time. This game requires long stretches of time. It's a beautiful game and the action is genuinely fun to play. The story is meh and there's some glitches though, but that can be played through. If you have a lot of time and enjoy action rpgs, you'll like this alot.

I got the game in the bargain bin and we can't stop playing. I don't know how people missed this game it is amazing.

This is a game I bought a long time ago, sold, and then ended up buying again because I missed the gameplay so much. There are great visuals in the game and diverse fun gameplay with all three classes. Travel through a huge map that will take weeks or more to explore and have a blast!

I think it is an overall great game that keeps me interested and coming back for more. It has a lot of the great characteristics about other RPG games like Skyrim and Dragon's Dogma and combines them into one great game. I've been playing it for a weeks now and still not bored of it! Excellent game!

It is almost like fable for the XBOX 360. But is a little different.

Like the quest and the warp funtion in game to save time.

this game Is phenomenal. very gratifying story. would expect nothing else from R.A Salvatore and friends

This is a great game to play on the ps3 or xbox 360

One of the best RPGs out there. Really enjoy everything it has to offer.
