Majesty: The Northern Expansion

"Wow, just wow."

I borrowed this from my friend one day asking him if he had any games for the PC. He said that he had like 50 of 'em, but, he would only let me borrow 2 of them {the Sims or this}. I already had the Sims, so I chose Majesty.{onto the review eh?}

Story: 9/10
All of the quests that you choose from are all detailed down to the wire. The only back-draw is that none of the quests really follow a central plot. You could say it has a storyline, or that it doesn't. I say that only the quests do.

Gameplay: 11/10
Perfection! No errors at all! This is where the game gets good. You have a over-view of your kingdom. You tell your peasants what to do, and they'll do it. While thats not exciting, the fact that you can see them build. From the ground up, they build it, upgrade it, and repair it. When you make guilds or temples, you can recruit members for your army. They can level up, you see them all battle, every person has their own battle motions {like an knight, you see his sword swing}. The only downfalls for this category is that the characters all have a mind of their own {which is a good or bad thing really}.

Sound: 10/10
You can hear houses being built, temples being constructed, barbarians yelling, monsters shrieking, gnomes chattering excitedly. It's all here. Everything you could imagine in a fantasy kingdom. The game really brings out the PC sound capabilities.

Graphics: 9/10
Very nice for this old of a game. 3D, fully detailed, crisp and clean.
The only bad thing about the graphics is that everything is the same {like the knights don't differ from each other at all}.

Rent or Buy: Buy
You must play this game at least, but good luck with that. Most people don't even know what this game is, let alone played it. But, if you ever come across a copy, pick it up immediately!
