In starting this review I am assuming the reader has already played the original game. If you hav enot then go out and get the original (it should be very cheap now) and play it. In this game you basically play a boy or a girl and you play through his or her life. His sister is killed by an evil man and you go throughout your life trying to get revenge or to find out what happened. You start young then get older then you are even more older. I have to admit that the graphics in this game are great. The sound is good but graphically is where this game shines. Another change from the original is that you have a dog. The dog follows you everywhere and helps you dig up treasures and fights (well not really). You talk to town folks and have various missions and such to build up your character. Also you get to buy houses and businesses to help build up your gold. The missions are fun at first but after awhile they can become tedious. That with every time you walk around you get attacked start to make the game a little boring. All of the features of the original are in this game with much better graphics and such. Its a big time RPG that will take awhile to solve the game. The game also allows you to be evil or good. In doing various missions and tasks you have two ways to do them. You could to them the good way or the bad way and it helps to form your character. Not sure how much fun it would be to evil because I chose the good way. This is a solid game that is worth picking up. If not for the fact that the xbox 360 really does not have too many quality RPGs.
