Would have given the game a 10 except for the very short length of the main story. Regardless, it was a lot of fun to play through and I've done so more than 4 times with different characters.

The Zork series has been a classic computer game full of humor. As a puzzle solver, this game and many of the other Infocom games simply shined. Out of date as of this review, but still worth the play.

I would give this game a 10 if it were based on the content alone; however it falls short due to the common EA pitfall. The game started with critical patching needs. Most of these have been taken care of, but there are a few that still need to be worked out. EA has always been known for releasing products based on dates and fail when it comes to release of a polished product. It is not uncommon for any company to require patching, but to the extent that EA pushes this fact is now simply a running joke among customers. That said, this is where the content makes up for quite a bit. I'll forego the Battlefield for adults and Call of Duty for kids argument, but Battlefield has been the definitive military styled shooter for quite a while and I don't see them losing that title.
