Anyone recall that, in its day, on the ads for "Anvil of Dawn" it said "Better than Stonekeep!"? Well, it was actually true and it still is. The play mechanics are similar, but Anvil's encounters and fights are more varied and, simply put, more fun. Stonekeep's oddly monotwinged look becomes dull fast. Not so with Anvil. Also, Stonekeep's dialog and acting are, I'm sorry to say, mind numbingly atrocious. --You can actually feel the intelligence being sucked out of your brain when you hear it. Yikes. However, in this case both games fail miserably. Ah well....
