What a shame. This game seemed to have so much promise and yet a series of bad design decisions have let us all down. Here are some fo the issues i have with the game: * Combat lacks the strategy of either the turn-based Fallout or the real-time-with-pause Infinity games. Enemies rush at you, and there is little strategy or decisions to make with regards to how you will tackle these foes. * Resolution locked at 800x600? This is just not on these days. * Another user review said that games dont have to be 3D to look good, but there are many 2D games up to a few years old that blow Lionheart out of the water. The graphics are simply dated and not good enough even for a 2D game. * The massive control panel takes up too much real estate and the minimised version does not show enough information. * The main character, which you will spend a lot of time looking at, is unimpressive and the animation simply does not look right. The promise this game held, with is unique story and its incredible pedigree was incredible. Sadly, the game not only fails to approach these high expectations, it fails to even reach the level of an average game. Bring on Fallout 3.
