A good overall game...

This game was an overall fun game! I really enjoyed playing this game and was a lot of fun! First thing first, you pick a character to play as and can customize their appearance. You can choose their hair style, skin color and also add markings on their body, which can make your character look like he/she is ready to kick some goblins... you know. I tried to make my character, a female warrior, look like myself (minus her six pack abs). You can also customize your characters abilities, which determine how well your character can fight, heal and cast magic. I chose to focus on my characters strength and her ability to heal faster. Since I was a warrior, I would need to focus on what I like doing best in games, slicing and dicing bad guys! Right away you start combat with goblins. I thought this was great because it really got you into the game right away. Don't forget to pick up the highlighted items that these villains drop. Almost all the villains in the game drop items once you kill them. Items such as armor weapons and potions. Some items are pretty useless while others can really come in handy.

If you character gives you a friendly reminder that they can't carry any more when you try to pick up an item, its time to either drop some items that you are not using or time to cash in on this useless stuff and make some serious money! I ALWAYS sold my items. All I did was pause the game and select the "Scroll" and I would warp to the closest shop. Also what was nice about warping to a shop was that there was always a save point there. So I could sell my items and save my game all in the same place. When you level up, you have the option of increasing how much weight you can carry. Every time I leveled up, I always tried to do this. So throughout the game, I had to stop and sell my items less and less.

This game was very too easy to learn and I never once had to refer to a game guide or ever got stuck in an area. The loading time did get frustrating at some points. There were also a few glitches here and there that made some parts really easy for me (the last boss had one that made it possible to beat him) and others that irritated me (I got stuck in a corner and had to reload the game). The game is 100 times better and easier if you have a friend play with you and I actually suggest you beg someone to play this game with you. I started the game with another person briefly and I had much more fun then when I played alone. Just be sure to pick a friend who won’t go around picking up items while your slashing goblins and bugs!

All and all, a good game, that I would definitely play the sequel to. But this is also a game that wasn’t so great that I would play again even though it did give me the option of playing the game over at the end on different difficulty and I could use my character from the previous game. If I was huge fan of the game I would use definitely that feature.
