Thanks for reading my review of this game. At first I was addicted to the thing:), but as time wore on the game siege of avalon really got boring in the middle:(. Especially the dumb(no offense to the creators and desighners etc...)Party members. But the reason I gave it a good review is with a walkthrough it's a pretty decent game. Sure, without the walkthrough it's nigh impossible, and if you mess up your screwed for the whole game. But it inspired me. So please get a walkthrough, and this game.

ACK!

Wonderful experience playing this RPG! I felt like I was playing a GREAT book. There are 6 chapters ..each one better then the next. Diablo I/II are not in the same league with Siege of Avalon..and at (dollar amount) it is an unbelievable value....buy Siege you will not be disappointed!

Like playing a book!

When this game actually works well, it's a lot of fun. But every time I try to play it I have to install it again, sometimes five times a day. Also, while the game functioned very well inside the walls of Avalon, outside in the village it freezes up frequently and moves jerkily. If you think it will work on your computer, buy it! If you're not sure, it's not worth the frustration.

This is great!!!

I've had this thing a months and i'm only 1/3 of the way through a game(I have beaten it but I have to go back and play as another character.) I have to say that I have one problem, the interface can be tricky and it takes some time to load. Other then that it is an enjoyable experience.

This is an undoubtedly solid game. However, it suffers severely from plain looking graphics, and the play control is a bit gawky at times. Probably the worst bit is that the main baddies are unbelievably tough to kill, so I'm not even past the first chapter. Overall it gets dull and eventually you just give up on it. It had great potential, I love how it would tell a story, but it needs better design.

Excellent RPG...

It is truly like reading a book, it provides an excellent storyline, very entertaining, excellent game play, tons of unique equipment and just an overall good roleplaying game. For 7 dollars to buy, you cannot go wrong. If you enjoy games like Baulder's gate, Torment and neverwinter night, this game is a must have. I only wish it was a bit longer with more areas to play.

The Graphics in this game, in my opinion is much better than Baulder's gate 2. The characters are crisp. The game is easy to play and learn. No headaches, no learning curve and characters could be totally customized.

A great story, a great price, a great game!

This game is an unexpected treasure. It is a first release from makers Digital Tome who are focusing on putting a real STORY into a good game. Their tag line is "Played Any Good Books Lately?" and it sets the tone for this product.

This is something of a cross between Diablo and Baldur's Gate. Easy to learn, simple and effective interface and controls, lots of conversation and talking NPC's to advance a real plot.

It takes a while to earn your way into the more advanced sections of the game, you can not even add members to your Party until you reach Chapter 2 (there are 6 Chapters on this Anthology CD -- which covers the whole Siege of Avalon story). The good news is that the game is sufficiently fun and addicting that you'll work you way into the features, the different game worlds, and the deceptively diverse whole experience quickly enough to come to appreciate what has been accomplished with this rather unique game design idea.

There is a ton of information (online...).

It is a shame they don't advertise this more, this title deserves a lot more recognition that it is getting.

Great play

Even my 8 year old daughter has been intrigued by the story and action of this game. One of the first lessons she learned, within about one hour of play, was how a buy and sell market worked. She was amazed that it cost more to buy the same item than she could sell it for, allowing me to explain to her how the marketplace works.

We have spent many enjoyable hours together reading this book and moving through the richly textured landscape. And she doesn't mind starting over when she is overun by water beetles in the depths of Avalon.
