The next in the line to bash Pool of Radiance - Ruins of Myth Drannor is 3rdedition.org. In their review, they talk about the lack of 3e rules in the game, and how inconsistently they are implemented. This is how the review starts:
It is important that you understand that this review will not be focused on graphics, sound, hardware compatibility or anything of the sort. I will not pour over the installation problems, nor will I spend any length of time telling you about the myriad of promises that were not delivered by the development team. I am not going to talk about the clunky interface or the repetitive game play. Instead, I am going to focus my time on how this game has next to nothing to do with the 3rd Edition rules. I will also go over a few game play issues that make this game difficult and frustrating to play. If you are not a Dungeon and Dragons player, you will most likely not be interested in what I have to say. It won't be pretty.
It is also important that you understand that I am going to spend the next few pages giving this game a thorough beating. I give this beating on behalf of every 3rd Edition Dungeons and Dragons player in the world. It is my firm desire that this review will prevent anyone else from being wronged by this game. As I write this, I am still scraping the mess of this product from the bottom of my shoe. How I long to use the toothbrush of Bret Barry, the Vice President of Product Development for UBI Soft. Shame on you, Barry! (added note: I understand that no individual can be responsible for the outcome of a large project like this one. However, I stand by my words that anyone who worked on this product should be ashamed of its results)
The rating for the game is 3/10 - couldn't get much lower then... |
