"Nox Singleplayer is great but Multiplayer doesn't..."

The Nox is one of the Diablo type game....but of course better than Diablo(beside multiplayer mode....Diablo better).The Story are kinda funny...but it's has a great story.Ok....let's begin with graphic, Sound, Music, gameplay, story and overall.Now the graphic...it's not 3D graphic so don't need to worry about the 3D for this game but it's have a very nice graphic even without a 3D card support.If u like the Diablo graphic then you will surely like this game.The texture are beatiful and the forest are great....with river full of fish swimming by....with wild animal around(well...in some places of course).The lightning of the spell of extremely cool.When you in the cave...it's all half black with only the light flow on your charater.Framerate is good....well...maybe on my Computer but I don't know about the minimum Requirements but with p2 mhz 200+ and 64 ram...but framerate would be great.

Now for the sound.It's like in Diablo game.It they all talk with text given.The spell sound effect was way too cool.Eveything you cast the spell, they will say it out the spell like #%^%#%&(actually I don't even know what my Charater say it out).The music is ok but it's better than C&C:TS(not C&C:TD,C&C 1 was cool).The music change everytime you go somewhere or something happened.

Now for the gameplay.The single was nice but the multi sucks.Firstly single player,a some quest given then you have to search for that place and kill something or find something.Everytime you on your to the journey you might encounter robber, wild animals and monsters.The interface was way too cool.The game have over 100 spells and weapons with diffrent armor, boots, shirts, helmet, and much more.The combat is like Diablo...whacking and whacking until the monster die and then heal yourself with potion or healing spell.One thing is fun is you can summon monster to do your job by killing the monster that it encounter.Now for the multiplayer,there is no coop game only deathmatch and other games.The deathmatch I don't like at all.Walking around killing each other and take their stuff.The spell in multi is kinda unfair....some use EXTREMELY powerful spell killing me(the stun spell is a cheating spell).I don't know about the others but at least they should put 1 coop game in it.The deathmatch don't really give me the fun.The time you play like 4 days or so....it's boring.Like the demo for the Nox...it's all about deathmatch and it really sucks.So if you want to love to play MULTIPLAYER games don't buy this but you a DIABLO fan or you like SINGLEPLAYER game buy this.

Now for the Story.The story is funny and a lot of funny scene.In the manual of the game,it's sound like the main charater is a nerd or a loser and silly story...but when you see the intro movie....it was damn funny.Maybe this game is a comedy game.The story tells about the land of the NOX...it's cool.Well you better see the intro than I telling you the story of the main charater.

It's overall time.Well this game is... WORTH IT.Buy it now if you can't wait for the Diablo 2.Make this game busy while waiting for Diablo 2.For Multiplayer this game sucks but Singleplayer this game RULEZ.The diffrent with Nox and Diablo is the story for nox is funny and Diablo is damn serious.The gameplay is kinda same.SO GET IT NOW.
