Elder Scrolls 3 - Morrowind: 8/10 points |
It is an excellent RPG game for the Xbox, perhaps the best ever. The story is complex and subtle. The possibilities endless in a vast world. The music is excellent and moves with the situation, but it is a limited repertory. The graphics are well done. However, if you are a first person shooter fan, the lack of feed back in combat makes it feel odd at first, but this is an RPG not a FPS. I've played three characters, each with a different premise, to level 60+. The fatal problem with this game is the frequent crashes which start occuring regularly once the game saves go over 127 blocks. While you may get a message about "dirty disk" that is not the case. This really is an inexcusable programming error. Whether Microsoft failed to document their developer's kit or Bethesda failed to heed the documentation, no one will ever know. But this knocked it out of being a perfect 10 for an RPG. The only work around that seems to help, is copying the game to a memory module and then copying it back onto the Xbox hard drive thereby over-writing the bad save. The second, but lesser problem, is the slow load times. These are inexplicable when compared to the PC version. I can only speculate that there may be some kind of authentication protocol that needs to be executed on the CD or that large chunks of information are being pulled from the CD instead of from a copy on the Xbox's hard drive. |
