terrific old-school style (dungeons and dragons-like) rpg with loads of game play. i found it more engrossing than Oblivion. i've been disappointed by game releases in the past few years having 6-8hours (at most) of game play before the story was finished; at most you'd play for a weekend and then shelve it or resell. this game has loads of story line that sucks you in, lots of main and side quests; most of them fun. the voice acting is excellent. graphics are good -- maybe not as innovative as they could be, but i'd rather developers focus more on other things and keep the hardware requirements so that you don't need too much to play on max settings - i found the gamma to be on the dark side. custom character creation or pick a standard; lots of "helper" classes to choose from to add to your team to help you. if you like d&d style rpgs, you are going to love drakensang.
