Planescape: Torment
Review by UltimaJab28
"Two Words: GREAT GAME!!!"
I first started to play the game and I was thinking that this was just another average RPG, but then I realized that I was in for a great ride. This game surpasses all other RPGs! I love role-playing games and this game started my love for them. There are some flaws though, but nothing to be worried about.
Music: 8/10 There was some good music in the game but it was mostly all the same. What I liked about the music was the feel about it. When you start you feel the way the atmosphere feels. Dark, evil, pain, death, torment are mostly felt in the beginning and throughout most of the game. Other than this there was no specific thing I liked about it.
Graphics: 9/10 Considering that this game is just a few years old the graphics are okay. I was really impressed when I got some of the more advanced spells in the end of the game and used them. They were almost all short cut scenes and were really cool. The graphics also had good detail in the buildings.
Controls: 10/10 the controls for computer games are so much more accurate than they are on consoles. The controls may seem complex at first but in the end you will be a master of them. I found these a lot better than some rpgs I have for the XBOX becuase you have some more keys to worl with and other junk. I always favored PC controls anyway.
Gameplay: 10/10 Well here's the scoop...You wake up in a mortuary with a bunch of scars and a floating skull right next to you. You don't have any memory of who you are, where you've been, or what happened to you. You can assume that something is up when the skull reads all the tattoos on your back. They tell you to figure out your name as your new mission. YIPPIE! Sounds easy and boring right? Well you are wrong. You meet a bunch of people and get companions. Some who are bound to you by love, slavery, and sympathy. Well now you run in to a thousand quests that kick you off the main course. Some that send you out to murder some other people, some to help people find their way home, some that are fake and end you back in the mortuary from an ambush. It is all just a bundle of confusing things. That is why it is so much FUN! You get to kill anything you want! You can be evil or good or neither! It is a ton of fun with all the choices you can make! I was a lvl 22 mage, lvl 7 fighter and thief. You can also join factions, which are like guilds, which are like clubs that all believe in the same thing. This game is definitley worth buying! GO OUT TO THE STORE AND BUY THIS GAME OR YOU ARE MISSING OUT!!!
When I finished this game I was sad and happy. It was a tough time completing it and a tough time making all hard decisions. It was even tough to take the final road to a different ending. There are like 8 different endings. This game is so great and could get anybody into loving role-playing game.
Overall: 10/10 Two Words: GREAT GAME!!!
