    This game has solid controls, but several shortcomings. 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.

    This was the first game that my girlfriend played. She was really getting into her character. I was kind of borred, but was having fun watching her have fun. When you die you have so many seconds to rejoin the game---she got panicky and accidently cloned my character and saved it over hers. Later on that night she was crying in her sleep saying, "Im sorry". I wasn't mad at her I was This was the first game that my girlfriend played. She was really getting into her character.

We play Baldur's Gate now and it's OK.… Expand

    Heroes covers a totally different set of rules and a different story. And a strong multiplayer setup which allows players to jump in and out at will make this a game not only should you have, but one your friends should pick up too.

    We all loved "Gauntlet" in the arcade and D&D Heroes captures the adventure-filled essence of that classic but with a very clever new control system that can be enhanced and refined in all sorts of interesting ways.

    The roleplaying elements have been stripped-down and the play can feel repetitive at times, but all things considered Dungeons & Dragons Heroes is an enjoyable dungeon romp.
