Gamespy have posted their review of Lionheart and the same pattern we've seen in other reviews is clearly evident. The final score is 65%, revealing both highs and lows:Aesthetically, the game is all over the map. The voice acting is superb. You'll meet several NPCs in Barcelona that are full of things to say and all sound convincing, but the city itself is dead. There's almost no atmosphere whatsoever, aside from the occasional chirping bird and a voice track or two. There are stretches where there is literally no sound at all. There are also some audio issues; for example, when returning from the sewers you can still hear the drip noises while walking the streets of the city. The graphics look dated and the game is locked at an 800x600 screen resolution; the animations are a bit choppy, and while Barcelona looks nice, the dungeon crawl areas all start to look the same after a while. Even at the archaic resolution, however, the graphics aren't a distraction. If the rest of the game were more even, it wouldn't be an issue at all. |
