Cross between Gauntlet and Baldur's Gate

This is a fun hack and slash RPG in the style of Gauntlet and Baldur's Gate. I thought the controls were well thought out, giving you lots of flexibility over what functions you assign to what buttons. Unlike the other games, you can zoom way in and out, although with multiple players you are almost always zoomed out. Like Baldur's Gate, you manage many types of items, gain spells/powers/etc, which makes it more involved than Gauntlet. The graphics are nice, and and there's a good variety of enemies.

I think the main drawback to this game is that it's too easy. By the end of the game, your character is *really* powerful and you have tons of money with nothing to spend it on. The bosses were all pretty easy to defeat. Baldur's Gate is much more difficult and its storyline is a bit more involved.

Excellent Game!!

This game may as well salvage my liking for the X-Box. Beautifull graphics, smooth gameplay, lavish worlds, and classic hack n slash with fully adjustable camera views, come together to bring you a Baldur's Gate on steroids. Well worth it for any RPG fan. The only downside is, it's not long enough to satisfy my addiction.

FUN!!

i dont play d and d with books but like this game allot, its much better than guantlet!! You can be 4 diffrent heros and their all diffrent from each other and have spells that kick but and can destroy tons of diffrent monstres as long as you have enough will power. i'm in the bone necrplois now and my dwarf is like gimley from the loard of the rings, very tough but can cast spells too. my brother uses the fighter becase hes easier which is good because he is only almost nine. this game rulez!!!

Tired of games being adjusted and watered down to be released on all systems (selfish PS2) which gives the creators more money! But, let's us suffer with mere 2-player games? Have you been wanting to to play Dark Alliance with 2 more people? I have! And, now I can! Who cares about graphics and other crap...it has everything you like from Dark Alliance...adds 2 people and utilizes the performance of the Xbox to deliver a beautiful game!

Best with Friends!

Ok, so let's be honest with each other. Heroes is a pretty typical dungeon crawl with lots of pretty pictures and phat loot. That's not what's cool about this game, that's just an entry level requirement these days.

What is truly fun about this game is playing it with your friends after 2am. Throw all your points into Meteor Swarm-like spells, buy potions...and watch everything you come across get decimated. Perhaps I'm regressing back into my teenage years, but there is something gleeful about filling the screen with Meteor Swarms from one angle, Flame Strikes from another, Magic Missiles all around, and Storm of Vengeance pounding down...there were so many magical effects at once we had no idea if the bad guys were still alive or even where we were on the screen. The smoke would clear and my guy would be in a corner attacking the wall...it was great!

Perfect recipe for a night of ridiculous entertainment with like-minded geeks :)

SWEET

I really enjoyed playing D&D: Heroes. If you loved Baldur's Gate on the Xbox as much as I did, you will love this one as well. The gaming is simple and the story is right out of a D&D Module, so any die-hard AD&D or D&D fan should enjoy playing this game. I like the fact that the controls are really easy to learn and the gaming is quick. The battles are many and ongoing. I cannot wait until they go beyond the fighting and create a D&D game that involves puzzles to solve as well. I also recommend Baldur's Gate II (of course), and if you are a PSII player, get Champions of Norrath to try some online gaming. Awesome!!!

Fun, fun, fun

I really enjoyed this game, and I am a 40 year old woman who is a newbie to the game world. I was able to play it and actually finish it!! My partner is a much better gamer than me, and he enjoyed it as well. So, I would say this would be a plus for the whole family. One funny thing, the two female characters are the strongest, yet the male characters are more promiment on the cover art.

ok, but needs some work...

this gamer was great except for on multy player when you walk away from each other it zoomes out so far you can't see any action. And another down drop in it is that the characters can only use their appointed weapon. the warrior can only use sword weapons. the rogue can only use daggers, the wizard, staff weapons, and the dwarf, hammers and ax's. so really if you like having a selection of weapons with any tupe of character, this RPG is not for you.
