good action\rpg hybrid

Revenant is a good game that could have been so much more if cinematix\Eidos had held on to it for a couple more weeks. This game embodies the best blending of fighting and role-playing yet to be seen in an rpg, hopefully diablo 2 will include such challenging and creative fighting techniques and encounters along with fairly strong role-playing elements. Unfortunately, the game has some glaring weaknesses that reveal it's incompleteness. My hard drive was grinding constantly and the graphics stuttered and jumped indicating unoptimized code. Too often I would try to rush into battle to gain the initiative only to have a graphical glitch slow me down or stop me all together. Also, npc's hinted at joining my character in battle but this never materialized. Hopefully, an expansion pack will be released addressing these issues and providing a much bigger world to experience more of this scintillating rpg action.

Fun the first time.

It's one of the best action rpg mixes in a while, but I say rpg reluctantly because it has a singalur plotline and no replay value. The first time through however, it is one of the best games ever.

One of the most fun games I have ever played

The game has to be one of the most entertaining experiences that I have had sitting at my computer. The game is short and there are some bugs, but it is still incredibly enjoyable. I think that there will be very few regrets about this game. I look forward to seeing what the online community does with the editor. It looks like you can completely recreate the game to your own design. This is a wonderful game and has some truly original elements in a genre replete with clones. Play this game and look forward to the sequel.

This game is an awesome game the first time through, and the multiplayer is excellent. The only downside to this game is that it was released early and is fairly buggy. I have experienced none of the problems that thesage did.

Baldur's Gate meets Mortal Kombat

This is one of those games you stay up all night playing even though you have to work the next morning. Too bad it will only take you three nights to finish it.... There are a couple of video-related bugs that made the status screens unreadable - supposedly a patch is on the way. The bugs didn't really affect gameplay, though, and the gameplay is outstanding. Some of the combo attacks rival what you might find in a Mortal Kombat type of game. The RPG elements are rather lightweight, but if you're like me and get annoyed trying to keep tagalong NPC's alive through a game like Baldur's Gate you're really going to like this one! Not a great game by any means, but definately good for three bleary nights of fun!

Comes close

Control is a lacking feature in this game. It alos seems to be a bit too linear in its play making it lack in the RPG category. All in all I found it to be enjoyable and I loved the Jerry Garcia herb dealer. Nicely done.

SHORT

This was a GREAT game the first 3 days i had it. The main problem is that it is WAY TOO SHORT. I mean you can finish it in a couple of days and then where are you -- out $40 and still bored stiff. On the plus side -- the diablo - like fights are great with the combo moves like mortal kombat.

Perfect Melding!

This Game is simply awesome. This game melds the Action/Adventure Genre and the RPG World with no seams! If you liked Diablo or Baldur's Gate, you must run out and get this title. You will not be dissapointed!
