Had fun with WOT on my Win98 PC, but couldn't get it to work with XP even under Win98 emulation mode, and many other reviews I found had the same problem. But good news, it works on Vista Premium and presumably other versions as well if you run it in Win98 emulation mode! So, dig out your old copy and have another shot at it once you get Vista.
Best fps ever! A game requiring thought as well as reflex!

I bought this game some years ago & absolutely loved it!!! The single player is good, & the multi-player has to be seen to be believed! Many offensive and defensive items & endless combo moves. I am a fan of the books & found the environment true to the books for the most part. At times I would walk into an area & recognize it from the description in the books. I felt I was able to immerse myself in the wot universe.
Impressive.

It is a good game.. it is by no means great or genre bending but a good game all the same. Single player is enjoyable.. and detail levels are absolutely magnificient.(I especially liked the whitecloak fortress'and the city of shadar logoth is truly terrifying). In addition to this multiplayer is alot of fun. Using different spell combinations to incapacitate foes is perhaps the greatest star this game has to its name.
Cool but Ive seen better

I agree with contacting "squaresoft" because the maker of this game just doesn't match squares experience.(although the game is still really good)I played my friends game (He let me use it so I had time beat it) but I can't find the darn game for myself.
I have a few choice words about this game

I think I got this as a Christmas or birthday present, anyway while they were giving directions, the game bugged and it was telling me to do a standing blast of magic or something, and my character started moving forward and it wouldn't stop. It sounds like my problem was unique, but even without this bug, I wasn't too impressed by this game. First of all, it would be better off following the book's plot, but from what I remember it was mostly campaigns (I didn't get very far, as I tried to return the gift only to have the people at Walmart say, "we're sorry but we don't return PC games"). I also don't remember having normal attacks, it was all ranged stuff, and combat system was a bit crummy. First-person mode is totally inapropriate for a story game, third person [like FFVII] would have been far more fitting.
Beware

I was enjoying the game, but halfway through, it would "windows error" and not proceed to the next level. After much time with GT tech support, the best they could recommend was reloading the game and starting from scratch. Buyer beware.
Fact or Fiction?!

respectively, this game fits the requirements to fit a gamer/nerds needs. This game combinds fantasy novels with 1st person shooting mode. If you are bored and don't have lots of friends, then this is your game.I'm not a loser but i had a gift certificate to amazon so why not? Thank You?

The game was fairly tiresome most of the time. I suppose there were a few gripping moments, but the storyline was rather poor. The Magic system was good, and there were some cool moments like being able to levitate your enemies over your head and throw them off the tower wall. But there were problems with the AI and the monster men looked stupid. The game featured a group of witches that really should have been Holy Sisters, by the way they acted. What's with today's world? God forbid anyone have a chaste Nun as a heroine. No, instead we must have witch-sisters. The artwork wasnt bad, I'll give that to the game-makers. But this game overall doesnt come close to the excellent work done on something like Arx Fatalis. Better to save your money and get that instead.
The Continuation of the best Saga

I dont know about every one else who is reading this, but when I started reading the WHEEL OF TIME novels back in 1992, I got pulled into one of the best fantasy worlds I have ever read. I have been currently reading over and over again the mind boggling series that keeps me enchanted every time I read it. The one thing that I do not like is how such a wonderful writer can keep every one going like he hasand then not come out with anything for 2 more years. I am like every one else i have ever talked to, I want to know what is going to happen to Rand now that he has cleansed Saidin. Is he going to get over the sickness that has started to take him? Is there going to be a big battle that Elayne has to stop? And just who are her attackers? These are just a few of the Q's I have concerning the series. I would also like to know when the next book is coming out, or if there is even going to be a next book. Well I've spoken my piece about all of this. I hope mabey some Q's will get awnsered.
