    A very solid, entertaining, and visually satisfying tribute to the RPG genre. [Spring 2003, p.31]

    Can be very addictive despite it’s many flaws. It’s hard to recommend to the average gamer though, with sub-par graphics, sound, and gameplay issues.

    If you have the patience to overlook its technical shortcomings and master its quirks, Eye of the Beholder is actually a pretty decent dungeon-crawling experience to take on the road with you.

    It's not nearly as impressive now as it was way back then, but just the same, good dungeon crawls never go out of style.

    Unless you’re unbelievably set into playing old-school D&D gaming, don’t look at purchasing the Eye of the Beholder.

    With Beholder's no frills (and I'm not exaggerating) isometric combat, there's little here that really screams out for attention. [Mar 2003, p.91]

    This awkwardly designed and rather ugly-looking game can by no means be recommended to everyone, nor is it necessarily suitable for fans of other GBA role-playing games.

    The game does not use a 3-D engine for dungeon navigation. Instead, it presents a series of still images. [Feb 2003, p.161]

    A virtually unplayable RPG.

    I've played EOB series on the PC at least a billion times. This is nowhere near. The problem aren't the graphics, which is more I've played EOB series on the PC at least a billion times. This is nowhere near. The problem aren't the graphics, which is more than enough, or longevity.
