Good Game, Bad Adaptation
First things first, this game will not run correctly without fiddling with settings. Most importantly, you must limit the FPS to sixty, or the game will run too quickly. This can be done in your' graphics cards control panel, or with an external program. Secondly, I found that DirectX graphics worked a lot better on my PC than nGlide - you'll be prompted to pick between the two on start up. Make sure you set the game resolution to match your screen resolution, or everything will be stretched weirdly. Once you get everything working correctly, TWOT is pretty fun. The levels have lots of breakable objects, and loop back on themselves in some interesting ways. There's a diverse set of spells (called Ter'angreal) at your disposal, and the level and enemy design will push you to use them in some creative ways. There's enough variety for a game of this length, in terms of enemies and gimmicks. The soundtrack mixes typical fantasy strings and rock music in a fun combination. That said, this game can be frustrating. The last four levels have no new mechanics, and become a slog. There's lots of gotcha moments with hidden enemies and traps. You can die incredibly quickly. Several levels have gimmicks that barely work, or are really silly. This is an uneven experience at best. Adapting TWOT into an FPS was a strange choice, and was always going to lead to inaccuracies and tonal shifts. For just one example, rather than feeling creeping dread while traveling through the darkness of the Ways for hours, you fight your way through tiny sections while fighting near contantly. The vibe is completely wrong. What makes TWOT special as a book series isn't the action, locations, or lore, but instead the extensively developed charcters and the world-spanning world building. An FPS was never going to capture those aspects well, and without them, this adaptation only resembles the books in some asthetic ways.
