good game, great battles, but ends too quick. Its funner taking your time and finding fights in the first 3 chapters and getting better and getting better gear. Dissapoining ending, last boss was way easier than he should have been. I enjoyed it for 15 bucks
Great play, Disappointing Plot

I played Betrayal At Krondor and I played it twice more, just for the plot. It was like reading your favourite book over and over again. But Return to Krondor was disappointing. The graphics and the sound were great, but where is that sense of adventure that was present in Betrayal? RTK is extremely thin on the plot, though the introduction led me to expect more out of the plot, with the mysterious Tear of Ishap etc. And favourite characters like Jimmy the Hand became much like a string puppet, walking only where the game wants you to. I didn't like that. The character upgrades were faster than Betrayal but for an avid fan of the Raymond E. Feist's books on Krondor, it was a great disappointment. It almost felt like the author was withholding much of the plot so that he had something to write in his new book, which left the gamers with little. If the plot was better developed, it would have been a longer game but well worth it.
Poorly executed

To start, I had to be on line w/ Sierra tech support for about an hour before giving up in desperation and sending them an e-mail before this game would work. Sierra tech support is the most evil thing in the universe. But I digress. This game was awkward. The plot seemed weird and random, so that if you did one wrong thing you lost all your stuff and got in near-impossible fights. Also, the graphics were stiff and weird. For example, in combat, if you miss someone, your sword still plunges straight through the enemy. Overall, it lacks stability and quality.
Fun game, dissaponiting ending

Wish I could write a review on Return to Krondor.But thats not what you sent me. The book Krondor the Betrayal that you sent me is green in color and looks good on my shelf. The video game in the back of the book says it has Return to Krondor and Betrayal at Krondor on it.But it doesn't. You have my money and I have your JUNK.
Thank You
Jim

I got this game from a freind for free awhile back. The graphics are pritty good but the character movements are EXTREMELY slow. The characters walk all the time. The battles are pritty lame too because all of the movements are slow. In my opinion its not even worth getting for free, which is how I got it.
Anticlimactic.

This has to be the most horribly produced game from Sierra I've ever played. The storyboard artists and creators must have been off their rocker. The graphics were pretty, the battles were somewhat exciting, but the delivery fell completely short. The combat and stats were horribly unbalanced, to the point where when I played the game the first time, I found it extremely difficult, and the second time I played it, it was a breeze just because I spent time levelling my characters up. The voice acting was mediocre. The story sounds promising in the beginning, especially with this series' reputation, but it finds itself to be completely anticlimactic in the end. So if you like pretty graphics and good music only in a game, pick this one up perhaps. But I'd rather just throw Lord of the Rings in my DVD player, because this is a sore excuse for a game or a story.
Fun one to work through

This game is more of a story than a game. As an RPG game, it is quite linear in plot. There are not as many subplots and/or different endings as other role playing type games. However, there is a tight story being told throughout the game.
Fans of the fantasy book series this game is based on will find many things familiar here, as well as see some places more fully explored. Also, in the Feist style, the characters you see are gripping and memorable.
All in all, this is kind of an interactive movie rather than a game. There is a great story being told here.
Verrry interesting-

My son introduced this game to me and I thank him! My daughter has also played this game. It is the type of game that holds your interest. My grandsons like to help when I run into a particularly frustrating problem.(They are 7 & 8.) So you see "kids" of all ages can enjoy this game.
I would have given this 5 stars (actually, I would give it 4 1/2), but I found it frustrating at times. Also, the graffics could be a little better. All in all, we all enjoy this game very much.
I hope anyone who enjoys RPG, gives it a chance.
Thank you!
Great Game

I have played this game plenty of times and I thought that it was a great game. Yes, at times it seems a little glitchy but it has just to good of a story line and it has so many good weapons that you can recieve. This is just one of the best games that I have ever played!
