I have been playing games for a long time and there are few that really lock me in for hours at a time. I'm happy to say Arx Fatalis is one of those games. I did have a few issues getting the game working right at the start. I had the speed bug, guy runs faster than you can control, and I also had a memory error. The fast bug was fixed by setting this game to run on one cpu. The memory error was fixed by setting the game to Win98 mode. Not hard to figure this out with a bit of reading on the GOG forums. Not worth taking a star off The sounds, the characters and graphics are all very believable. The control of the game took a little getting the hang of but works very well. I must mention that casting spells in this game is unlike anything else I have ever seen in other games. It really adds that little extra fun to the game. If you like good RPGs I would expect you to like this game. What a bargain buy!
