Great game, reminds me of my first fantasy-based RPG mixed with Deus Ex gameplay...highly recomended

Some people have written reviews saying this isnt an RPG because it plays like a first person shooter. Those looking for a pen-and-paper RPG game with a graphical interface will want to steer clear, while those looking for a progressive RPG that smacks of Deus Ex style gameplay with a fantasy setting will want to buy this immediately.

THis game is amazing, there is so much to do. I loaded it up and spent 20 minutes making my character. After the tutorial (which is wonderfully incorporated into the main story), quests start to pile up as you go from town to town. It can be a little overwhelming at first...all I can say is dont rush to do the main quests, do the quests the townspeople give you.

THe only problem I have is the bugginess of the game. Sometimes,even in places where the graphics arent pushed to the limits, the game bogs down. THis only affects my playtime for maybe 5 minites out of a few hours, so it is a very minor problem.

I recommend the PC version as it has a toolkit so players can make dungeons and custom mods.

Buy this game if:
-you loved Deus Ex 1
-you need a change from the classic RPG formula or you need to fill the void left by cancelling your MMORPG account
-consider yourself a lover of fine video games
-Oh yea, its really fun to be a bad guy in this game :)
