"D&D at its best"
This is what you call a solid action role playing game. This game has everything from start to finish. Great Graphics, tremendous camera angles, and zooming in and out. Stuff like this makes games good and long term playing time. The Replay value of this game I must say is high. This is unlike other games where once you finish it and see the ending, you don't bother with it again. D&D has done it again in the video game world.
Ok lets get to the basics everybody should have an idea of who D&D is by now, even if you never played any of there games, they are well known on the video game scene and off of it too. Don't want to say too much and ruin it for people who never played it or never played this style of game before. Unfortunately for people who have played games like Dark Alliance I and II. Its pretty much similar and you know what the concept of this game is like. But for the new comers its a good change of pace.
The story of the game is good, The fighting scenes are excellent. The choice of weapons and magic are unlimited to a point. The Controls as mentioned before are good, but can get kind of tricky if you have 2 or more players. You have different choice or characters, like wizard, fighter, rouge, and dwarf. I liked the rouge out of all of them, she tough close and from a distance. The fighter was disappointing to me, he looks more like a night instead of a big barbarian with an axe like. But hay, I guess you can't have everything.
This game right now is priced pretty cheap for new and used, so you can't go wrong. It has tons of hours of fun and after you clear it, you will go back to it and try to clear it with someone else after a couple of months. Compared to a lot of dull games out there, and games people never heard of this a good game to try. For true D&D gamers, they might find this game interesting in the beginning, but might get bored as it goes on. Its the same as the RPG board game concept and the monsters pretty much too. Well anyway enjoy.
