I love this game! I was so glad to find it since I lost my original a while ago and they don't sell it in stores anymore. Even better it works with Vista Home Premium! I was worried I wouldn't be able to run it with all of Vista's issues but I have played the game 3/4 of the way through without a glitch.

Eventhough this game is one of my all time, favorite games. The picture that they use(d if changed) to show the game is honestly False. And I Bought the game thinking that I would get the jewelcase and everything that came with the game, when it was new (the picture thet makes it look like the game come in a box). But that was not the case (think the normal plastic game case that's used when they try to get out the last cents out of the game).

So as i said, this is a great game that deserved a purchase when Troika existed and it still deserves a buy now. I just hope, that the original creators atleast get royalties, for mine and yours purchase.

I let others tell a more indepth and (more grammaticaly correct) objective review.

Great rpg. Has one of the best skill system evere, where you choose between magic and thecknology. It look a bit out dated graphical, but if your a fan of turned based rpgs this is a sure wonner.

In my opinion the game is great.

This is a really great for the style and type it is. I personally love non-linear type games that have plenty of side quests and each action determines a different outcome... just like in real life. Arcanum is highly playable and highly replayable. There are a few kinks in the script of the game and a few glitches here and there, but they don't affect the overall gameplay quality. Arcanum has to be what you're looking for in a game or you won't like it. It's that simple... the same holds true for any game. You don't need other people's opinions about it. Go try it for your self!

It even can be better prg than Fallout 2

Largest world that I have ever seen
Talk, sneak, fight and many other options to solve any quest in game
Story is good
Open world
Good npc system
You can play it again and again and still you found things that you have never done before.

Game mechanics isn't best in world, but if you can live with it, then this is one of best games in world history.

I really liked the aspect that you could use your own mp3 files as background music in the game. It has more of a fantasy feel to it rather than Fallout. Great game overall.

One of the best game

This game, along Fallout and PlaneScape Torment are the best isometric third person RPG for me. The open character development is the main appeal.

Not the latest or the greatest graphics...But still the best!

Arcanium is an older PC game but not at all out of date, and you don't need a trillion gigabit, super custom graphic card, quadruple pentium processor monster PC to play it. Yet I have not played a RPG any bigger, grander in scale or as open ended as Arcanium. You travel from place to place mostly by steam engine, or you can, if you like, walk through the vast wilderness between one city or quest to the next, occassionally fighting various wild animals or monsters along the way, but it could take literally days non-stop to do so. But its just cool to know the spaces in between are really there and not just a concept as in Baldur's Gate and other RPG's.

But the best thing about Arcanum is its sence of humor about itself. For instance you can go to a certain house of ill repute to gain quests or just for fun. You pick from a bevy of lovely ladies (or fellows), each having their own traits. With one, I recall, the lights go out and when you awake on the floor all your health and mana are drained to nearly empty due to the wild style of this particular vixen. In this same brothel you can actually choose a sheep...I did (hey,I had to try it!). I think the sheep had little love hearts flowing from it when the lights came on.
