fantasy

I was wondering why in faydarks green forest, was I carrying nearly $380,000 in gold while nearing completion of the beginner level, I thought my character was buff enough at the end. BUT, having completed the first level of difficulty and now playing the COURAGEOUS level, it seems now my character couldn't stop its own grandmother from getting a second cup of tea. and as I continue playing, I noticed that I'm replaying the game. period. The enemys are now harder to kill and can put a severe hurtin' on you, but They are the same as before! they don't look any different! same world levels too. AWWWW COME ON!! Must I continue playing the same thing just to get to wear and wield the good stuff? I was hoping that maybe there is a side adventure where your character and maybe your friends get to fight in some massive campaign in some climactic epic battle free for all against hundreds of orcs, goblins,skeletons, coming at you with arrows and spears raining down on you! HOOHAA!!!! now that's worth going through the game 3 times!!!, but there AINT no battle like that in this game. sad. oh well, at least your character will look good and gucci would be proud.

Okay, well don't listen to Mr. Conner from Ohio.... I love this game.... I just bought it last week w/ my boyfriend & I must say the Boise, Idaho has the best description of this RPG game. I found Baulders Gate: Dark Alliance (part 1) & loved it & couldnt wait for Part 2 to come out, BUT it let me down. This game was meant for Baulders Gate part 2... so much better in many ways. Putting off part2 of B.G. was so annoying(the waiting(suppose to come out in October but came out in Jan.)). Champions of Norrath is designed by the same company like Baulders Gate & this is why I mean it should have been for part 2 of B.G.... So, I know this probably doesnt help w/ info, but its NOT overpriced at all the $50 is worth it & your time is worth it too... though the loading takes some time to (duh) load up but it isnt nearly as bad as B.G. part2!! B.G. part2 still good and everything, but if you like that game & LOTR games alike... you'll definitly want this game in your collection!!

I am at least 20 hrs into this game and it is a lot of fun. I have not had a problem with the loading and the game only froze on me once. And I have a first generation PS2. So I have no idea why other people are haveing so much trouble with this game. This game is nothing like EQ. The view is mostly a overhead shot ( at first I hated it but got used to it ). The game is also a board by board action RPG. You finish boards and fight bosses. Not like EQ where you do nothing but level up. The music is great. It creates a good atmosphere feel. The graphics are good for what this game is. It reminds me of " Gauntlet ", but 20x better. I highly recommend this title if your into a live action RPG that is nothing like the online EQ.
