I am a 38-year old GBA fan and RPG fan. I bought this game, plugged it into my GBA, saw the graphics and interface, stuffed it back into the box. Too much time passed and I couldn't return it, so I tossed it in the trash with no regrets!

Worst RPG ever!

I have to begin by saying that I'm a huge fan of both platform based RPG's and the more classic table top D&D. I can't begin to tell you how disappointed I was with this game! The only reason it warrants 1 star is the fact that the character creation is so spot on to the new 3rd Edition rules. It just goes downhill from there. Usually I'm a fan of dungeon crawls, but this was just too repetitive.

I didn't even bother finishing it before selling it :P

For the love of God don't buy this game!

I've seen alot of crappy games come out for game boy, but this is positively the worst yet! I have never played the PC version of this game and I bet it is good in its own right, but unless you plan on burning money for the hell of it don't buy this game. The graphics suck bigtime and the levels are too easy!

Heres some advice for you people who plan on re-making old games: Give the game better graphics, different levels than the original, hidden levels and a player friendly interface.

This game does not include any of these things!

P.S. I only gave this game one star because Amazon wouldn't let me put zero stars!

Ah, nostalgia!

Okay, this game isn't very pretty, nor is it a long-time play. What it IS is a throwback to the old SSI, TSR Gold Box 5 1/4" Floppy disk computer RPGS. It's got the same great graphics, same great battle system, and same hokey music. If you're not old enough to remember the Gold Box series of games, or if you never played them, obviously this game is not for you. But if,like myself, you harken back to those hallowed days, then this game will give you the same naughtly little happy feeling in your toes.

For hardcore fans only

Graphics below par
Sound below par

Gameplay is good
Nostalgic of the good ol' days when D&D games first came out on the 386

Overall a good game made mostly tailored for D&D fans.

Boring

I found it extremely boring...wandering around and then fighting.... yawn .... After playing GC Baldur's Gate and XBox D&D: Heroes this is really disappointing.
I played it 1 hour and I'm going to trade it in.

This game is too boring and not as good as the real board game. DONT BUY IT. You would have more fun buying the board games and actign them out.

I am a big fan of pen and paper d and d (dungons and dragons) and I think that it should stick to just that, pen and paper. No video games that I've plyed have even come close to matching the fun of the 3rd edition game (yes even neverwind knights) to all who want another computer brain draining game go ahead and buy this game. But in my opinon go out and by the players handbook. Pen and paper D&D for ever!!!

Worst Adaptation of a PC game

You would think redoing a game eleven years later could be done well, but with this game they didn't really seem to care about what the game was like, or how much fun it would be to play. If you like old fashion dungeon crawls, go for the first release from 1990 for the PC. The combat is much better, and the maps are set up well. It's hard to find but well worth it.

Great Game but is hard to start off

This is a truely great game, you do not need to be in to the D&D roleplaying game to like this. In the beginning you have to make a team or choose the premade characters for a team (dont use the premade characters they only have the search ability). The actual game has pretty good graphics and cool dungeons. When exploring you get a first person 3-D view. In battle the screen switches to an overhead view. The battle system is a little hard to get used to and your characters miss the opponent a lot on the beginning but when you get used to it you can use techniques such as flanking and cornering your opponent. I gave the educational rating a 4 becaus its a time consuming video game that is not made to be an educational toy.

I highly recomend this game to anyone that enjoys strategy based role-playing games.
