Mediocre 90's FPS with flair
I bought this game back when it first came out and I still have the box around. I did not finish this game then, since one of the missions bugged and I lost interest. I did have a fondness for it though. Does it hold up? Not really. The Wheel of Time is a fairly generic 90's FPS, in all the good and bad that entails, with magical spells for weapons. There's a bit Wheel of Time peppered in to give it character, but the end result falls somewhat flat. It is obvious they had great ambitions for the game and some of the levels look nice, but there's not a lot of enemy variety and the vast array of different spells is rarely utilized properly. Indeed, there are a lot different spells with interesting functions, that in practice prove almost useless. Some feel aimed at multiplayer and PVP and have no real function in single player. This is also apparent with the citadel mode, that never makes an appearance in the single player campaign, but could make for a fun time with friends. The story doesn't stack up to Robert Jordan, to say the least, and the game ends with a whimper. There's so much more that should have been done, that the devs seem to have planned, but didn't get around to implementing. It's disappointing. The game is not bad. I enjoyed bits of it, especially early on, but it's hard to recommend it to most people. Played on Linux using Bottles. Unfortunately, performance wasn't great even back in the day, let alone using Wine. I had a lot of graphical issues that, while playable, were distracting. The game also crashed a few times and at one point trying to quick save crashed the game. I got past that, but it was weird. I did play it from start to finish, but buyer beware.
