GameOver has posted their review of 'Dungeon Lords'. The score is 57% and the frustrated tone of the reviewer is well-represented by the opening:Ugh. I had all sorts of trouble writing this review. I always hope that my reviews are easy to read, entertaining, and accurate, but every time I began stringing together sentences about Dungeon Lords, the worst sort of venom and bile would start flowing out of my keyboard. For example, at one point I wrote at length about whether DreamCatcher Interactive, the game’s publisher, should feel embarrassed about releasing such a product. Then I pondered whether D.W. Bradley -- or, rather, “award winning computer game author D.W. Bradley” -- should bother trying to make any more computer games. Then I listed in great detail all of the places where I felt that the game’s official web site was either lying or being extremely misleading, such as when it lists there are arctic lands in the game, when there aren’t. But while those topics are all appropriate in a game review, I was spending so much time on them that I wasn’t writing about the game itself. So let me summarize: Dungeon Lords is a game that makes me mad. |
