I was really impressed with this game! I have been an avid reader of Robert Jordan's series the Wheel of time for quite a while now, and was excited at the thought of a computer game.as soon as I got it home I began playing. The graphics were superb and the story paralled the books. Anyone can have a good time with this game - even those not familiar with the books. I strongly urge others to buy this game!

Great game! Actually lives up to expectations

Being a somewhat recent addition to the list of WoT fans, I was a bit aprehensive about spending almost 50 bucks on the game. I shouldn't have been. Probably one of the best games I've ever played. The graphics are incredible. Good work GT, and thanks to R. Jordan for letting this game be made.

Beautiful game!

This game takes the unreal engine to new heights with pure beauty. It loosely follows the rules of Robert Jordan's series though the gameplay and fun more than make up for a few missing points. This is a must have for any fan of the series just for the enjoyment of bringing it to life and giving a person the chance to live in the world a bit and kill a few things.

Great action game. Not for thinking gamers.

This game was initally a let down. I was looking for the next generation of Tolkein type game: puzzles and logic mixed with sinister enemies and battles. Intead I found a world of amazing imagery and detail. The action is non-stop and the scenes were exactly as they were described in the books.

This is a Quake, or Doom, or Unreal type shoot'em up, but is superbly done and is much more detailed.

One thing to note is you must have lots of free space (500M MINIMUM! ) To run the game and more to run it effectivly.

A must buy for any who liked Unreal.

One of the Great Games

I always wanted to give this game a try but never did purchase the game. It always had very good reviews and perked my interest as a WoT fan. Gamespy recently put it in their top 25 underrated games, it was in the top 10, so I tried to hunt down a copy. Atari still sells it directly from their site.

This is an awesome FPS game, one of the best I've played and I've played them all. Great story, and great graphics given the game's age. Better game then Half Life in my opinion.

Game play is awesome and very strategic. You need to conserve your resources and use them wisely and you are given many options for getting through the levels. The level design is another awesome aspect of the game, the levels are extemely well designed and beautiful.

I was surprised how good the AI was. There are quirks and expolitable situations but I don't remember playing a game recently that had AI as good as WoT. The enemies are very agressive.

For the price you can get the game for from Atari, its a steal.

I was almost surprised to see the few negative reviews here, but none of them really give an indepth review of the game. Of course its expected that some WoT fans would be disappointed but as a fan myself I feel Legend did the right thing. They did not try to adapt the existing books to the game, they merely used the world Jordan created and did a great job of it.

This is an FPS, through and through. Its not an RP game, though it does a great job in story telling. Piece of advice, keep CD2 in the drive while playing the game or you will miss the movies that explain much of the plot and add a lot of atmosphere. I noticed a few reviewers seemed to miss the thread of the story and most likely its because they missed the movies. You need to have QuickTime installed to see the movies, provided on the game's cd though its an old version. Movies ran fine with QT6 on my machine. You can also run a setup from CD2 and install the music and movies to your hard drive. (Yes, this means you can run the game without having the cd in the drive, this feature really dates the game.)

What can I say, I thoroughly enjoyed this game and I'm kicking myself for not having playing it in 1999/2000. On a P4 3ghz, ATI Radeon 9700 Pro on WinXP the game runs perfectly. The version available from Atari does not need any patching, they're already applied.

The game is all it was promised to be and more!

It doesnt matter if you are a Wheel of Time aficianado or a no-reading game freak! The Wheel of Time game is for everyone who wants to play a great game based on one of the best book series ever. The single player game focuses around an Aes Sedai who is sent on a special mission by the white tower. You have 40 Ter'Angreal at your disposal and can use them also in the multiplayer game. Ill explain more about the multiplayer game later but for now its really fun and the single player game revolves around an Aes Sedai and you learn how a whitecloak (a magic hater) can stand to use a magic tool...and you learn about the hound an evil creature from shadar logoth and also about the Forsaken a super powerful magic user. Well I dont know about you guys but I sure eagerly awaited the Wheel of Time game and as I sit here writing in Seattle (im on vacation) I just cant help but think about the great multiplayer game as well as the advanced singleplayer game. The architecture is truly awesome in a game and the scope of the textures and Ter'Angreals is awesome. I can faithfully recommend this game to anyone who likes first person shooters with a little bit of strategy and roleplaying mixed in. Naturally the story line is set in the world of Jordan's Wheel of Time, but it does not follow the same story line because the game wouldave been over 50 discs just to include everything Jordan would want to make an accurate repersentation of the books, its not a parallel either but rather set some 500 years before the present books story line. The multiplayer game has two modes: Citadel and Arena. Citadel is a game where you set up your forces in your own fortress and play one of the 4 characters (Hound, Forsaken, White Cloak, Aes Sedai) and attempt to steal at least 2 other seals from the other characters so they can control whether or not to keep the dark one locked away in his seals or free him. The second type of multiplayer is arena is your standard deathmatch you against the world style where you attempt to destroy your other combatants using the 40 ter angreal at your disposal.

Irresistable, a gamer's dream come true!

Wheel of Time is THE best game i have ever seen. Loaded with stunning Unreal graphics this game really kicks. Single player is filled with brialliant life like levels, the multi player is an exiting addition with citadel and arena! There is always a challenge and you never get bored! You are constantly interacting with differnt players in deffernt servers all across the world. Robert Jordsn's world has been brought to life. A Must-Get-Game for wheel of time fans and gamers alike!

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.

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?

A challange, but still amazing

This game was awesome. The graphics are stunning as are the effects. It is very difficult, but very rewarding once you have beaten it.
