    So far, okay. I'm not that far though the campaign, but I can say the setup experience was painful. I have a fast dual Opteron machine with a decent cable modem connection, but installation took upwards to an hour including the manditory patch. And who came up with putting the CD inside the manual instead of outside of it or on the CD case?

    very goood graphics and sounds but its just boring the game is good at first but when u get in the middle it starts getting repetetive and boring. the voice acting is not so well and I dont get the point of the multiplayer I went in and no1 was there !!!! its just not a very fun game...

    Not the genre-busting breakthrough we were promised. But good solid fun nonetheless. It's clearly a labour of love, with everything from the install screens to the waving grass lovingly realised. Just wish they hadn't felt the need to include a wise-cracking Indiana Jones style champion - his weak wise-cracks really diminish the atmosphere. Worth trying, though.

    It's good-looking and fast-paced, and it will have you crushing armies in one moment and plundering tombs the next. That's a heck of a combination.

    It's an ingenious mix of resource management, micromanagement, action, RPG elements, tactics, strategy, innovation, and good old-fashioned D&D atmosphere.

    Sending heroes down below to negotiate traps, battle huge monsters or collect loot is as important and exciting as building vast armies, securing shards and taking the fight to the enemy’s base. And it’s just as fun too.
