Pregaming

RPG'ers around the world should be jumping for joy, as Neverwinter Nights is the realization of every one of those gamers' deepest dreams. Or at least mine.

This game is so much fun to play, and does everything so well that it is totally almost impossible to put it down... WarCraft III is the pinnacle of the recent Real Time Strategy Genre and sets the bar for how all RTS games should be developed.

It not only takes what other games have done and makes them better, it creates a style and ambience that is all it’s own, this is one game that no gamer should miss, it really is just that good, and that is why I have no problem giving it a perfect score.

It links with Dark Forces and Jedi Knight very well, blending the Valley of the Jedi and the Dark Force together in a way that is cool and evil.

While the designers did an OUTSTANDING job of allowing you to create the powers of practically any superhero, they seem to have left out a lot of animations for those powers.

Not only a worthy sequel but also advances the genre forward with a higher standard of AI, stealth and level design.

One of those games that just visually takes your breath away. It has some of the most detailed, and well realistically rendered environments and characters ever seen in a computer game.

My only problem is when driving fast, after a few seconds the graphics seems to disappear and you’re driving by blotchy scenery, which half of that is gone.

The action level in SOF II is high, so prepare your adrenal glands for some intense shooter battles. Playing John Mullins is still a blast.

Certainly not your run of the mill Dungeons and Dragons modeled game, Arx Fatalis reflects an innovative approach to the RPG genre.
