Quandary has posted a review of Pool of Radiance - Ruins of Myth Drannor. Most of you will remember how disappointing the game was, even having a tendency to wipe your HD when uninstalling. The reviewer remembers this fact as well, but has something positive to add:
Glancing back I can see I’ve had a few complaints about this game. It might seem that I didn’t enjoy it but this isn’t totally the case. Although I can see that the vagaries of the combat system will test some players, you will get used to it. Despite my grumbles some of the battles towards the end of the game are quite challenging and require a well thought out strategy to get through.
In fact this game improves with age. For instance, it gets more interesting and varied when you leave the first set of dungeons. This is when the story kicks in more prominently, and you meet a few extra characters who have information and quests for you. It becomes immediately more involving. Also there’s a lot of diligent exploring to take care of, and the graphics are pretty good, if a bit repetitive in the dingy dungeons. Though I must say that these dark areas make the spell effects look quite spectacular. My Sorcerer well and truly earned her keep letting go with fireballs and sending streaks of lighting into the fray. Area spells work wonders in this game both visually and practically, and the game engine lets you take careful aim so you (or your friends) don’t get hurt. No final rating is given... | | Source: BluesNews |
