Can't Stop Playing It, But Can't Stop Re-Starting It

I love this game. I love the mood of this game: spooky, foreboding. The gameplay style is interesting, and the way the customization of characters goes is something new. The story is original and kind of captivating. I pretty much love everything about this game. But, for some unexplained reason, I don't ever get incredibly far into this game. It isn't because it is too hard; something about it keeps making me take breaks, and then going back to play it only I've forgotten what is going on. This is an unusual case for me, but regardless.....I think the game is worth a look whether you are into the Wizardry series, or you just like RPGs.

This is a timewarped game

I finally completed Baldur's Gate:Dark Alliance, during which
I had received this game. The manual looked like it kept the
elements of the original games (which I even went back and
replayed last summer). While replaying the old games brought
back the enjoyment of playing them on the Apple in seventh grade,
games of today are far too many and more fun to waste a lot of time on a game that in today's terms could only be considered repetive at best, and boring at worst. As with some of the previous reviews, the graphics and sound harken back to the days
of Wizardry four - the first "graphical" Wizardry. In other words, pretty poor. When I got the game I noticed that Sir-Tech did not produce it and assumed they had been bought out by this company. However, Wizardry 8 on the PC is out, and its produced by Sir-Tech. All of which is to say that don't waste your time. There are better games to spend the day away - such as Baldur's Gate or Summoner.

One step up from the original series.

This game raises the bar from the previous Wizardry games. If you enjoy adventuring and creating your own fighters, this is definatly the game.

Fun game

This is a pretty fun game, it kept me busy for quite some time. One reason i like this is the way you can build your character. You can chose from a few races, then depending on your race and alignment, you can choose your class. Another thing that sets it apart from other RPG's on the PS2 is how its in first person view. The battle system is brilliant and relys heavily on teamwork. A good RPG worth buying.

No, don't even think about it

Don't plan on it. It is bad. You will be in a bland environment, with graphics made for the N64, then you will be in a story that doesn't involve you or anyone! Awesome! Not only is there no motivation, but there is a boring game!

Take for example, save points. To save you have to leave, to leave you have to find an item or WALK back. When you learn about team attacks from this dude, he tells you all the different things then you try them. There is one that took me 3 hours to beat. It is called team defence. Every turn, 16 goblins would run at my guys, one time I tried attacking the goblins, but died horribly and had to redo my hour long work. Ok so then I tried again. This time when I did team defence, my girl would get lucky sometimes and hit something. it literally took me 2 hours just to do that battle. 3 hours because of the losing it and walking back.

Cons:
-The game costs money
-Battles are repetitive
-The environments are stupid. It is blocks. All blocks.
-You hit up, down, left, and right to do everything.
-The town is all text and stuff, there isn't any walking around.
-The game has such poor graphics that are some of the most boring and uninspired environments ever conceived in a game.
-The atari has better graphics than this game

Pros:
-The game is hard to find
-You get a receipt for buying it

10 stars

You are the one... you have to find the princess with her treasures hiding from the pure evilness of the underworld creatures. It is your destiny to find the princess and to bring the kingdom back and to take those evil creatures down.This game is a blast and you will have lot of fun playing it. If there was a surplus of 5 stars added to the five stars (10 stars) I would rate it 10 stars to a definate facture.

Very Good Dame For Classic Roleplaying

This is a great game. While the graphics aren't supurb, it has a great game play feel. For those purest that like role playing games that are turned based and are about building up players, it is a must. The concept of building trust amongst the group to be able to do special moves is very cool.

So so ...

OK, but I got tired of it very fast and gave it away.
The is out of your control too much. And as far as the graphics go ... um ... what graphics?! Don't expect special-effects either. I just found this game to be at the level of what used to come out ten years ago or so ... where these programmers sleeping all this time?

Great Old School RPG

This is your classic RPG of building of characters, finding treasures and slaying everything in front of you. In less than a week, I have probably played more than 30 hours on this game and I'm not even close to completing it!!! The spell system and side quests bring a whole new dimension to the game. At the same time, you don't have to follow the quests and just build your characters up. It doesn't make you follow one path, which is what I never liked about the Final Fantasy games. Your only path is building your characters up and going further and further down into the dungeon. ROCK ON!!!!

didnt get the game at all
