I tried to like this game, but it's definitely not a Bladur's Gate or Icewind Dale. The primary issue is that the game uses its own version of the 3.5 rules that make no sense. I've come across bugbears with greatswords that get automatic attacks of opportunity, even if you're already in melee and attempt to hit them. Click on attack, and you just might get hit with a 40 point critical hit, even if they just attacked you the previous segment. Second issue: pathing. The pathing in this game can be horrible; sometimes only part of the party will find their way down to where you clicked. Other times, and this is evident in most of the games of this style, they'll take a very long way around to get where you want them to. All in all, an interesting attempt but, after many hours of game play, I think it just isn't worth it.
The game is a good distraction; it's 10 chapters long and plays like many other hack and slash games. It brings nothing new to the table, though it's pretty cool to hear Patrick Stewart and Michael Clarke Duncan among the voice talent. My only issue with the game is that the audio may sometimes cut out during cutscenes. Other than that, I'd recommend buying this game.
