    A fun and challenging game that is good to play for maybe a half an hour at a time. It’s an extremely intense game that provides several hours of entertainment.

    A perfect example of a game I would recommend only to adventure fans. It is not polished enough, and it’s too formulaic to take someone away from their favorite genre to spend some time in the abbey looking for a murderer. However the likable characters, the great voice work and the unique atmosphere will no doubt be sufficient reasons for many to pick this one up.

    The replay value is where Cold War suffers the biggest blow.

    The combat is in the game is extremely gratifying.

    If an enthralling story with atmosphere is what excites you give your local library a visit.

    The contrast between the good times and the bad works well.

    • 78 Critic Score
    A solid 3 rd person action brawler with responsive controls and enough fun included to force me to play through the game more than once and then to play through the more difficult bonus levels.

    My greatest issue with the expansion: there’s very little added in the way of quests and dungeons, and not that much effort was put into making them distinctive.

    When I first started playing, I was impressed with the game, as it seemed the first real advancement since the "Diablo" genre was created years ago. After one play-through, though, I’m done with it.

    While no particular portion of the game stands out as truly spectacular, everything is sufficiently put-together to provide good entertainment. It’s simple fun.

    The game merits a very qualified recommendation, at least for those gamers that have the patience to deal with the growing pains one often sees with an MMO. These pains are exponentially worse here, due to it being an MMO in two relatively new genres, RTS and collectible.

    It doesn’t have that cardboard feeling you get in certain games.

    I would only recommend this game to adventure fans that are into the Agatha Christie series of novels. However, they should prepare to be faced with repetitive and secretarial tasks.

    For the most part, I’d say that the weak points overpower the few positives in Alpha Prime and because there isn’t anything that’s really new or unique and the sound ruins the intensity, I find it fairly boring. You shoot enemies, watch a cut scene, shoot some more, interact with something, repeat.

    An average game, but I really like the film footage.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    It left me feeling frustrated and many times I found myself ranting away after quitting. The major things in need of improvement are the means by which you earn money, the levels of food consumption and production (which run low very easily), the dated graphics, and, probably the biggest thing, your people’s satisfaction.

    I want to recommend CrimeCraft, I really do. However, with the frustrating gameplay, graphics that seem overly dated, and the game trying to do too much without doing anything well, I seriously wonder if I wouldn't have had more fun lighting cigars with the same two twenty-dollar bills I used to pay for this game.

    The main quest is challenging and contains a great deal of replay value, not to mention original gameplay that actually works.

    Why degrade the virtual Eastern Front of WW II into less than a mediocre experience?

    If you're looking for the one expansion pack to play for Majesty 2, then this is it. But if you're tired of Majesty 2 already, picking this up isn't going to make you love it again.

    First off the Solo Missions, suck. There is no suspense like in the first, and just jumps into BORING action.
    • 55 Metascore

    So what you are left with is a harder (more grindy) retread of something you may have played twice already before.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Effects lacked much of a punch, and a lot of the creature designs had a really generic, evil look to them. There was no personality here, and I think the direction of a serious aesthetic didn't do it any favors.

    Evolution is a great moniker as this game has helped evolve the traditional adventure gaming genre entirely.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    This is a weak game, and that’s all there is to it. Anyone looking to create their own Diablo-clone should take a peek just to see how to do things wrong, but most everyone else can safely pursue their hobby of being a gamer and still avoid this forgettable toy.

    It was a fairly fun game for about the first three to four missions.

    Oh, and if you’re wondering, I used the word “boring” 7 times throughout this review.

    Sadly Dungeon Lords was neither bug free nor addictive, which makes it a total failure and a waste of time for everyone associated with it.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 56 Critic Score
    The story might have a flicker of potential but everything else causes the game to fall flat on its face.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Bottom line is that on paper, this is an incredibly deep and varied game, but time and again, the reach of the programmers vastly exceeds their grasp. Even months after release, there's so little in this game that's working as intended, that only the most desperate die-hard fan of the genre should even consider this game.
