disappointed

The party creation is indeed formidable, a lot of options with ensures a high replayability. The tactical turn based combat is principally challenging and fun, but poorly implemented. It scales horribly as you are forced to constantly fight mobs which often come in groups of 2 or 3. In the long run, it gets very repetitive and annoying. The game seems to consist mainly in having to fight spammed groups of enemies on end. Additionally you have to be careful what level your characters are due to scaling of the enemies. If you are new to the game you may invest plenty of time in the beginning levelling your party to find out that they have reached a level which makes it virtually impossible to the continue the game as the game spams constantly enemies at a level impossible to survive. Not what I would call a fun rpg experience. Too time consuming. A shame, since the character creation, the magic system and the combat are really promising.

First I hated it, then fell in love

I played this last year, it had been a free gift from a magazine some years prior. It had been sitting in the "to be played some time in the future" pile of games. It had been ditting there for years, because I was put off, not so much from the dated graphics, but from the minor sci-fi elements. I decided to give it a second chance after the rave reviews I'd been reading all over the internet, old and new. I was on my Xmas holidays and I said to myself "I'll give it 1-2 days of playing, if I'm not hooked by then, it's uninstall time" The thing that initially kept me playing was the frequent level-ups on the early stage of the game (they get less frequent as you gain, more levels, and rightfully so). With six characters on the team (they later become eight) you has a level up every 45min or so. After that, I'd become accustomed to the gameplay mechanics, my eyes got used to the graphics, and it was sheer joy to play for days on end! Never did I get bored, or lost any enthusiasm until the end. What a delight!

Great RPG very versatile

I played this many years ago (when it actually was already a bit dated). However even so I really enjoyed it. The only thing were the very long fights (which I found more annoying in the beginning). Very nice RPG. Lots of very different items you can find use and I believe you could combine together. You have a group of very different characters which make the occasional comments and have different skills. I like RPG's where you can do a bit more than fight/fetch and bring item.

Brilliantly written and acted, but...

I didn't pay much attention to the Wizardry series at the time and having played this through to the end, I feel people are over-rating it due to nostalgia. Remember: this came out in the same year as Throne of Bhaal. Wizardry 8's writing is excellent, plot so-so. I liked the jokey 70s sci-fi opera feel. The voice-acting is a labour of love and I almost gave the game a 4 rather than a 3 because of it. My party was: Dragon Psionic, Canine Lord, Lizardman Fighter, Cat Ninja, Human Alchemist, Human Priest. This isn't an optimal build but was luckily OK. The character-customisation and stats and the actual RPG engine are pretty good but some of the stats work in such odd ways that I ended up cheating and looking it up in faqs. The puzzles are a bit poorly implemented (it seemed there are 2 different ways of "using" an item" which makes some of the point-and-click type puzzles a nightmare). Nearly every fight is a narrowly-winnable hitpoint-grind of attrition against 8 of the same enemy - the combat is balanced and challenging but not fun or tactical by comparison with other games of the time. The combat and puzzle drawbacks combined mean that if you need to get from one side of the map to the other to try "using the metal sphere on the computer console" it takes half an hour to fight through the mobs, only for it not to work. I ended up using walkthroughs. Lots of people hate level-scaling but this game does it better than any other game I have played that had level-scaling in it. The fights are impossible at the start and easy at the end but for about 40-50 hours in the middle they are consistently challenging. The way the items and loot and the in-game economy all work feels very unpolished - to the extent that you have to build your party round the items that are available. The gameworld is small - and the monsters in some areas are so annoying that you avoid revisting them. It is well worth the $6, but remember to quit if you start to find it boring.

You'll get lost in Wiz IIX !

As much as I have a soft spot for this RPG, you will take a looooong time to complete it and do the story justice, as it is VAST. The characterisation is deep, the voiceacting great, the puzzles fiendish, and combat a breeze. Lovely. If you like uber graphics like Skyrim and Mass Effect you may be disappointed in this, with its heavy emphasis on character, deep plot and wit. If you love a good story you may well find this appealing. However, I bought it when it first came out and I've still not got round to completing this Epic tale.
