It easily hits the hights of Champions of Norath and BG Dark Alliance 1, Bards Tale etc and way better than Dark Alliance 2 IMO. It has great combat animations, and some of the most ballaced and well implented classes and power systems of all the games.. The camera is a realtreat aswell letting you zoom right in and out.. The only thing I would wish was a bit better is the visuals..Environments are a little bland and the character models a but basic..The FMV Cutscenes make up for this a bit however, with some badarse cinematic, especially the introduction of boss monsters.. Seeing this version of a Beholder had me thinking fuk yeah, this is sick. This is definently a must play , especially if you liked the previously mentioned games.… Expand

   If you liked gauntlet, or the first baldur's gate, BUY THIS GAME.

It has enough in depth roleplaying action to satisfy the D&D hardcore fans, plus enough hack and slash multiplayer fun to satisfy casual gamers. Graphics could be better, but it plays, performs, and sounds great.… Expand

   Throughout most of the play, I kept thinking, this is the lame bastard child of Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance and Gauntlet. Don't Throughout most of the play, I kept thinking, this is the lame bastard child of Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance and Gauntlet. Don't get me wrong. The game play is fun, and the way you can customize your character is what makes any RPG style game enjoyable, but D&DH just didn't offer anything really new. Furthermore, the graphics are really not that great. But the more I played, the more obsessed I became. There are a few clever twists here and there and it kept me interested. Also, you are given one weapon that slowly upgrades throughout the game. I hated the stupid thing until the final levels when the enormity of its power really came in handy. So over all, I am giving this a 9 out of 10 because what start as kind of a mediocre adventure really ended up surprising me. Oh and the control scheme is just awesome.… Expand

   Dungeons & Dragons Heroes (D&DH) is a fun game that won?t disappoint fans of the Action/RPG genre. People that like Action/RPG?s (i.e. Dungeons & Dragons Heroes (D&DH) is a fun game that won?t disappoint fans of the Action/RPG genre. People that like Action/RPG?s (i.e. hack-n-slash with leveling up attributes) will surely compare D&DH to Baldur?s Gate Dark Alliance. Each of these games has different strengths from each other. The first thing I noticed after playing D&DH for the first time is my initial impression of the graphics were slightly not as good as Baldurs Gate. But on the other hand, I found that I was having a lot more fun, quicker in the campaign with D&DH than I had with Baldur?s Gate. Baldur?s Gate?s fighting is pretty rudimentary. D&DH has some of the same simple features to it?s fighting, but it also has finishing moves and special abilities that you can map for quick access to your controller buttons. The introduction of finishing moves added another level of interactivity to the fighting/combat that I greatly appreciated. Personally, I am a fan of more Action than RPG in my Action/RPG, so that fit nicely for me. In addition, there are some very creative potions that can be thrown in D&DH such as the stinging insect potion. It is a lot of fun to watch your enemies walk into the cloud of insects. D&DH had interesting and challenging enemies to fight. D&DH didn?t seem to have as many customizable features as Baldur?s Gate, but seems to have favored to keep that simple to keep the action going. One feature that I enjoyed in D&DH, is that each character has an Ancestral weapon that can be upgraded over time. The easiest way I can describe the Ancestral weapon is to think of the weapon as their natural default weapon. This Ancestral weapon is a weapon that cannot be sold of dropped and again can be improved as the campaign progresses. There is definitely a sense of accomplishment, as your Ancestral weapon gets stronger and stronger. Unfortunately slain enemies don?t lie around forever in D&DH as they did in Baldur?s Gate, but that is overshadowed by the enjoyable combat. Overall I enjoyed both Baldur?s Gate and D&DH, but found that D&DH took the overall gameplay and thus the fun to the next level. I am glad D&DH took the standard Baldur?s Gate set to the hack-n-slash genre and improved upon it in some areas. Although there are opportunities to improve Dungeons & Dragons Heroes, if you are a fan of Action and Action/RPGs, I recommend playing this game. … Expand

These include a "lag" when too many actions occur simultaneously on screen, the fact that the "puzzles" consist of merely finding levers and that the entire game is completed in under 20 hours. That this happens on the Xbox in the year 2003 is quite surprising, given the likes of Halo, Max Payne 2 et al.… Expand
