All that would have been... too bad they did not execute on this game!

Just got through a grueling 4hrs of game play. All I can say... and I speak for my wife and I... is eeeek! This game just does not have it. Where was the usability department for this game... the UI is horrible! Nothing... and I say nothing is intuitive. It is as if they wanted to try to re-invent the wheel with old parts... you get controls that are just cumbersome... and illogical mixed with a sluggish and very dull combat system. In combat, you are reduced to hitting 1 or 2 or 3... and waiting your turn... as if it was a turn-based game. Most would think the space bar is jump... nope... that is how you speak. Speaking to AI's in the game is very horribly done. You literally have to hit the enter key to scroll down... no voice work... since all is text. On the bright side, the landscape is pretty... but dull. There is not much happening... beginning level have you killing bugs, moles, bats, and the likes.... oh my! Boring! Try setting your window to full screen mode... oh, you won't find that setting in the controls of the game... you will need to search for the config file in the directory of the game... boy that was easy... geez. Save your money! I have played many MMOs... from Star Wars Galaxies, Conan, LOTR, Asheron's Call 2, this is by far the worst!
