I got this game for free from a friend, (it wouldnt work cause of the major scratches on the disk. but I used car wax and buffed the scratches out, and the game worked fine!) anyway, I honestly didnt know what to exspect from this game.. I knew nothing about it before I played it. but I was extremly happy that I got this game for free, it is truely a great game! There are so many things to do, and tons of items (weapons, armor, jewelry with benefits, weapon upgrades, and more..) It has a great story line which I was very pleased about, cause sometimes you buy games that have louzy story lines which usualy ruin the game..

This game is a must buy! Probably the best of its genre that I've played.
I definitely recommend this game!

aka Diablo 1

I'm tired of Diablo 2 and wanted an alternative . . . after some research, bought this game. It's pretty funny because it is almost exactly like Diablo. Unfortunately it lacks the great multiplayer aspect of Blizzard, but it's still very fun. If you loved Diablo, you'll love this game. It's almost the same thing. It could be an expansion pack. I'm surprised Blizzard didn't sue.

Fun game, but with a lackluster and repetitive battle mechanic.

I bought Champions of Norrath, after I had just finished Final Fantasy XII, which I loved and throughly enjoyed playing the entire game.
I was looking for another RPG that would hopefully equal FFXII or maybe even be better. The story is alright but didn't draw me in as much
FFXII did. The major problem I have with it is the battle mechanic, smashing on the X button seems more like a side by side fighting game
mechanic. Another issue I have with this game is that it is not playable from a 3rd person perspective. You just can get enough of your
surroundings on screen. Again other games have solved this, so not sure why this one keeps you a mile away looking down on your character
in order to be able to play with a reasonable amount of perspective.

PROS: Detailed armor, and weapon visuals are nice, and the character sometimes has some funny quips.
CONS: All in all it is fun, but the fun parts don't make up for the repetitiveness of the battle mechanic and the camera angle being so far away.

didnt buy it here, but its great

it was great game while people were playing it online. kind of like diablo. the story is just about what you would expect from an action RPG where you can create our own character.

the sequel is okay, but due the expereinced crowd, its very hard for new players to enjoy online play. its just too ba this one was over looked. it didnt have many players online, but they few that were on could tell you that this was a great game.

the #!%$ing game will not work!

This game is really quite good. There are many different characters to play as. There is no difference between the male and female of each species to play. That's a nice change. The zoom is a little lame, but you want to see ahead for you most of the time anyway. There's around 25 hours of play time the first time through. Some of the bosses are challenging, but not impossible to figure out. If you like Baldur's Gate, you'll like this game as well.

Great Two Player Game!

This has been a very enjoyable way for our family to spend time together. The character possibilities are great and plot is engaging! I recommended it to all of my family and now each of my sibs is addicted as well.

Champions of Norrath

This game is awesome. Over this last summer, my boyfriend and I played Balder's Gate II: Dark Alliance and we both loved it. We have been searching for similar games when I found Champions of Norrath. I looked at tons of reviews before buying it and I find it to be very fun and almost identical to Balder's Gate II. Not the story line, but the battling and concept.

I love that each character comes with a male and female version, and you can customize different looks on your character. One thing I dislike though, is how the magic in the game doesn't give the character as much level up points as actually battling with weapons.

The first game I played, I was the Cleric, and my magic was awesome but my weapons sucked. I couldn't use practically ANYTHING! We started the game again because of a flaw in the game (Don't go into the Vampire's house until you have the boat and are looking for a navigator.) And now I am playing the Night Elf thing, and my attacks are killer, and my magic is okay. In Baldur's Gate II, my boyfriend and I would level up around the same time. When I was the Cleric, he was about 2.5 levels higher than me, and now he's only 1. I think this is because of the magic I used when I was a Cleric.

Overall, this game is stellar and if you have loves ones who play video games, play it with them. It's awesome and totally worth the $$$.

For those who like RPG style

I played Baldur's Gate for PS2 and loved it and then received this game as a gift because it is a similar role playing style game. I love this game! I love the customization of your player and the numerous weapon and armor customizations. Great game for a great price. I usually get bored with stuff quickly but I keep playing this one over and over because although the story is the same, you can make the game different by using a different race or selecting different spells.

Champions/ Return to Arms is the sequel, and you can import your character from this game into the sequel. Very cool!

Awesome

This game has many adventures. The characters are not weak. Opponents are ok. Bosses are the funniest. they can be very challenging and on two players, we watch each other scream like little girls when the boss kills us(it is funny.). It is a awesome game.
