| I can fully understand the editorial team's reservations at trying this out. And I agree that the news comments are under-utilised (though Corwin makes a good point on that). But perhaps there's anoth ... |

| Ah, but you see these are more than just 'opinions'. These are touted as 'reviews'. If you 'review' something, then you have a *responsibility* - to play the game properly, to know what you're talking ... |

Yes, KOTOR.
It's an adventure - it's as much an RPG as the Space-Quest games. You could choose what order you go to which planet do do your tasks in SP4 (or 5, can't remember) as well. *This is not ... |

| It's a good adventure. I feel it's simply too linear and restrictive to be called an RPG. And it's definitely overrated - a lot of simple, silly puzzles and quests, simple combat (exactly as Dhruin de ... |

| Dhruin, you make perfectly valid observations, but I think the point being raised by MageofFire is more subtle. No-one - Mage, I, or anyone else - is saying that action-rpgs or hacknslash or whateve ... |

| That's right. The voice acting in G2 is excellent. Much better than the norm. It's just because it's American voices that people are complaining. And to a certain extent i don't blame them for that - ... |

Rendelius - they did include a shot of a feature that was not in the game. The gondolier. That is misleading, and was either deliberately, or negligently, included both on the box and the website.
