Advantages: Epic story & beautiful graphics

Disadvantages: Maybe takes a bit too addictive

This game was engrossing, challenging and beautiful!

I am a seasoned RPG/game fan going back to my childhood playing point'n'click and I found this game the best I've played so far.

Graphics - are outstanding, the landscapes, the way the grass moves around you, when I first started playing all I did was run around the environment and look at the scenes.

Gameplay - you can choose you method of combat, be it sword, hammer, archery or magic. So it suits most gamers. You have freedom to roam to everywhere & I recommend you do so as you find extra stories/missions/weapons the more you roam, rather than just following the main story. The more you play the better your character gets at things eg combat, acrobatics etc, however, the enemies also level up so it keeps it challenging to the end. It also allows you to choose you path in the game - good/evil stealth/brute force, you can also fully customise you character so you can choose who you want to be.

Story - I am big on story in games & really dissapointed with terrible or too short a story. This game plays like an epic book, with a lot of similarities to Tolkiens worlds. There are also hundreds of side stories and missions which will keep you engaged for hours/days. My gameplay total is over 100 hours.

Summary: BEST GAME EVER!
