This game was a blast to play and very funny. Excellent graphics, sound and game play. Only draw back was the game play was to short for me. The first go was the best. I loved the fun character narrative and songs!!! I laughed a lot and was spell bond!!! Well worth the money for the fun!!!

You nasty little Bard you...

This game is really fun... my complaints were that it is pretty much linear in it's design without many choices in dialogue & exploration. The graphics were choppy on my system (but I have a better system now & haven't tried it on this one yet) The game is hilarious in parts. I can still hear those nasty little goblins? singing... In summary if you want a game that provides a good diversion for a short amount of time (about 20 hours) this one is worth the money. I would buy a used copy though... replay value is really non-existent.

what goes around...

I too remember this game. but, sadly, I used to know the catacombs by heart. I can only hope they've done this game well.
it truly WAS one of the first and best. all sorts of abilities and huge maps.
of course, one of the things I remember most is.. near the very end.. the 4 groups of 99 berserkers. hehehe.
can't wait for thre new one!

It's Bad Luck to Be Me

I really enjoyed the sarcasm involved in the dialog and the interaction of the Bard and the Narrator. The storyline was good and did a great job incorporating song and instrumentals befitting the Bard. The Trow's Ooompa-Loompa-like song series of "It's Bad Luck To Be You," is hilarious. Improvements could be made in mapping and having an adjustable "camera angle."

Complete waste!

If you want to throw away money, buy this game. The poor interface and hideous execution make this one of the worst games I've ever tried to play. As for the attempt at humor, forget it. The best thing about this game is the tolerable intro in the booklet that comes with it.

Great idea, poor execution

I liked the concept of Bards Tale but quirky and fun does not equal "good".

It suffers from a lot of the same problems that so many games suffer from Its flashy it looks cool, but it is way too short and has absolutely no replay value.

Its not its fault it just suffers because its an Xbox adaptation.

Best bar in any game I've played yet

I really enjoyed the bars & songs. Just awesome. The playing was fun, the rat scenerio was awesome. Overall, this game was fun but not intense. This is not addictive but worth the money. Pretty easy to catch on which was great for this new gamer.
