....surprisingly good!
Me and my brother picked it up yesterday and played a good 4-5 hours straight. Being the only rpg on a console that offers this type of experience online, it was very fun and fresh. We had a blast just taking turns being idiots behind the NPC's while the other was talking to them, hehe. Other than that, I was a mage, and he was a warrior, and we just had fun pillaging villages, taking out bandit camps, and even the occasional dragon. The character development of this game is actually surprisingly deep. Keep in mind this was all the MP, I've only begun doing the SP campaign, and it looks to be a nice long story as well. Thats a lot of content, in my opinion.
Yes, the game has flaws. The framerate suffers. The dialogue is a little weak. The online has lag issues. But after a few hours of playtime, these problems we're in the background, while me and brother had a blast tearing up the terrain. We can only imagine how much more fun it will be when we have 6 more people helping us on our journeys.
I recommend anyone whos on the fence for this game to at least give it a rental, and to get by the first hour or so and get into the meat of the game before passing judgement on it. You might find yourself enjoying it more than you expected.
