Pros: - Fun. At the end of the day, I played through it whole and was entertained throughout. It gets fairly difficult at times, but not in a frustrating manner. - Inventiveness. Some of the boss fights were quite clever, and I liked the golem sequence at Khelben's tower - Story. It's nothing to write home about, and effectively linear, but Salvatore does an OK job in keeping it engaging and the whole thing plays out like watching a slashy DnD campaign (I'd say one-shot, but the game compresses it a lot more). -Characters. They aren't the best written lot out there, but Rennek, Illius and Zhai did grow on me through the play. Cons: - CAMERA. It's horrible. Two thirds of the problems I ever had with the game were caused by not really seeing where I'd really want to look. This is an annoyance everywhere, from combat to exploration. For instance, it's great fun trying to backstab someone you can't really see the back of even though you're facing them. - Controls. They're OK but the fact it's a console port shouts out at you and at times , it gets awkward. For instance, with some monsters, it felt like trying combo attacks didn't register - this kinda hurt since Zhai was my favourite character to play. Trolls, I'm looking at you. A lot of this has to do with the camera Did I mention you can't really choose targets when you cast spells or throw? - Not exactly the longest. A game for like, one Saturday afternoon+evening. All in all, it was a decent experience.
