This game was really fun at first. Barcelona is fun like the city of Amn in Baulder's gate...but that's all that there is to this game.

The people that join you just follow you around. You can't interact with them or control and develope them like Ice Wind Dale or baulder's gate. If you want a hack and slash, get Dungeon Seige...if you want a real rpg with a plot, get BGII.

Best RPG since Planescape...

From the name behind the Fallout series and Planescape Torment comes Lionheart. Ive put many hours into this game already, and I can easily say its the best computer RPG since Planescape. The story is instantly deep and satisfying, this game is worth the $$$ all the way!!

Une déception totale

Lion Heart est un jeu plein de déceptions. Malheureusement, le nouveau système de jeu est très inovateur, mais très mal exploité. De plus, la qualité graphique des animations n'égale même pas celle retrouvée dans Baldur's Gate I. Le personne se déplace brusquement et ne possède aucune fluidité ou de mouvement naturel. Il ressemble à un robot. J'ai été fortement déçu de la qualité de ce jeu et je crois que les programmeurs au niveau des graphiques auraient pu fournir un effort supplémentaire lors de la conception des animations. De plus, les arrières plans ne sont pas plus impressionnant, ils ont tous le même ton et il cache ce que le personnage devrait voir à cause de l'Effet 2D. Lion Heart ressemble au jeu des années 1999. Je crois que le concept est bon, mais que la qualité graphique enlève tout ce qui rend ce jeu agréable. Le prix ne vaut pas le jeu! Attender plutôt Final Fantasy XI !

Yawn!

Dull, dull, dull... This game is really not up to the standard we have come to expect from Black Isle and Interplay. Primary Headaches: Inability to pause and target enemies during combat. (Makes archers and magic users just about useless), Boring quests - the kind we expected in the early days of roleplaying. Games is not the most stable I have seen either. All in all, you are better off going back and paying an earlier Black Isle game.

Good game, but could have been MUCH better

This game is pretty strange so far. It takes a game like Diablo II and infuses Fallout's SPECIAL system. I love the Fallout series, and especially Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel, so the SPECIAL system is something I'm used to and enjoy. Character creation isn't as indepth as I had hoped it to be, but it wasn't barebones either. There's a few gameplay elements that I like in the game, such as the spirits and quasi-historical references/characters/locations. Other elements are annoying, like how you can only click your character to walk a few paces outside of your line of sight...that gets annoying on the larger maps. The lack of gold and difficulty finding it and items in the beginning adds some good gameplay, but is overdone to near annoyance. I'm only five hours into the game, and it has done a sufficient job holding my time and interest, but I can tell it won't have replay value like Diablo II or the other like games.

Recommended since it's so cheap now.

WOW

If you're a big fan of Fallout 1 & 2, and you also like games like Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale series, then this game is for you. For the magnitude of this RPG, the graphics are great. The characters, spells and monsters are fully 3D, while the highly detailed backrounds are 2D. This game is like Fallout on steroids; in preproduction it was called Fallout Fantasy. If you're like me then you're a person who doesn't like the limitations of a certain class. This game utilizes the Fallout's SPECIAL system to let you shape your own character. I have actually heard of a game tester from Black Isle studios who invested all his points into Speech, Barter and Sneak, and he passed the whole game hardly fighting. As you progress thru the game, you can invest your skill points into the sneak skill and never fight an enemy (by successfully sneaking past enemies you gain 75% of the experience as if you would have killed the enemy), or you can choose to be good at Unarmed combat (like Monks) and also be good at Magic (Magic Monk) . I've been reading these peoples previews and laughing the whole time. At least give this game a try, it is not the best RPG ever, but its a very, very solid RPG and i rate it 8.7 out of 10.
Remember, Ignorance is the epitome of stupidity.

DONT Bother with this game!

Bought this game and had hoped it would be an RPG worth playing. The first half of the game plays well, it is balanced and fun to play. The second half on this game after the Crypt of the Lance and Nostradamus quest (English Invasion of Spain) is THE WORST thought out combat system of any RPG! From here the games is no longer an RPG, it becomes a hack and slash with the games combat engine favoring enemy character which you CANNOT go one on one melee without allied help or more healing items than the games merchants allow you to buy.

Overall, I give this game one star. Dont waste your time with this game!

so irritating!

I got this game a few days ago and enjoyed playing it once I figured out what to do. This game has good points and one major bad point that makes the game unplayable. First off, I like how you can create your own character not a lot of options but that is okay or choose a ready made character. Also I enjoyed ppicking out the skills they would have. My MAJOR button pusher is that the enemies are too hard to kill! For example, I am fighting off four asassins at once cannot get past them cuz I keep on dying. As one reviewer pointed out, games are supposed to be fun not FRUSTRATING to no end that make you want to smash the game against the wall! I am pretty much stuck in the game because of this really stupid problem. If I figure a way out of this dilemma maybe I will change my mind. Most of the time you swing your weapon you don't hit anything! So frustrating! If you like purely hack and slash games and moderately easy game play I would recommend Enclave. The graphics are really good in that game and you are playing as though you are looking over your character's shoulder. But anyway, I cannot complete any more quests on Lionheart because every time I fight an enemy i die! I enjoy the game otherwise.

Do not buy this game unless...

I repeat do not buy this game unless you are completely desperate for a crpg (i.e. you have played all others in existence). I played the demo and the full release is just as bad.

GOOD RPG

Reading some of the other reviews here I was feeling I had made a mistake in buying this game. Truth is I got quite involved in it from beginning to end.

As some other reviewers have noted, about halfway through the game narrows down to a single purely hack-n-slash non-stop all-out war but a few things keep the game interesting: The character will keep leveling up, so directing his skill points and perks provides variety to the otherwise repetitive and seemingly endless confrontations. Almost every locale has its own types of foes and tactics that work on one type of foe may not work on another. Inventory can be very important in this game, particularly enchanted armor and weapons, and partly because there is no prohibition against changing armor and weapons during a battle. At times inventory management is the name of the game.

I purchased a French edition to get practice in French but wound up playing the English version because the French edition still had English voiceovers anyway. The French edition does a complete install to your hard drive and once installed you can run the game without the CD in your CD drive. Using the multi player option on a home network is thus facilitated.

As others have noted, the game plays only 800X600 resolution in non-zooming isometric view but the graphics were colorful and imaginative. The characters seem to be fully 3D and even cast shadows. The result is that this game is a lot easier on your eyes than the Infinity Engine games like Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale.

Miscellaneous: Sound track music is good though not memorable. Spell effects are not terrifically spectacular but there is an interesting variety to them. Game ran well on an older AMD Duron driven system with FX 5200 graphics board under Windows 98SE although I had to turn off overclocking on the graphics card to get to El Calle Perdido. Perhaps because it is part 3D, the game make considerable demands on the graphics subsystem and overclocking the FX 5200 notably improved the rate of motion and action.
