    To be completely honest, this game shouldnt really go under the banner of a RPG, unless you class picking up rings and equipping them as an "action" rpg.

    Before you commence be ready for plenty of dying for the dumbest of reasons (falling from a small ledge, walking into water etc), and having to start from the beginning over and over, a dire combat system, awkward controls, average music. If you can see past these points and want to finish the game, it takes about 7-8 hours to complete.

    I actually purchased this game within 6 months of it's release, I played it non-stop for a few days until it was completed, and it has been gathering dust ever since, so no replay value for me. Even in 2002 the graphics could only be described as blocky, so imagine how they compare with current standards.

    Definitely one to avoid.    … Expand

    Not sure how this got made, but here we are years later. The "action" is clunky and just downright not fun. The music is nothing to write home about and can be a little grating at times. The controls are just odd and don't lend themselves well to a good experience. Probably one of if not the first game I ever returned, it was just that bad. It's a shame, I had decent hope going into it,Not sure how this got made, but here we are years later. The "action" is clunky and just downright not fun.

    Aside from a few minor frustrations, this game is definitely one you should put some time into.

    Dungeon-crawling, hack-and-slash, spell-casting, first-person RPG action at its console best, pretentious story and dated graphics not withstanding.

    This feels like what it is -- a rushed, early RPG that didn't receive the time or care needed to turn it into a fun game.
