EQ: Champions of Norrath (PS2) - Review @ GameOver
   

GameOver has tossed up a <a href="http://www.game-over.net/reviews.php?page=ps2reviews&id=200" target="_blank">review</a> of EQ: Champions of Norrath. As with many they were pretty impressed, posting a score of 90%:<blockquote><em> There are some great things in this world that just go great together. Peanut butter and jelly. Milk and cookies. Console gamers might want to see action and role-playing games added to that list. Titles like Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance and its sequel have proven that hack and slash gameplay mixed in with a steady amount of character development can go a long way from just another Diablo clone. While Snowblind Studios seems to have developed a “can’t miss” formula with their previous titles, their latest game, Champions of Norrath, attempts to raise the bar. In short, they’ve merged their action-packed mechanics with one of the most venerated massively multiplayer online role-playing games to present a new adventure in a well-known world.</em></blockquote>

I'm playing this right now, it's pretty fun. Norrath has an interesting way of leveling your stats, pushing you toward specialization. Choosing certain skills will open up various level trees while leaving others unavailable. If you try to spread yourself too thin, the game will quickly outpace you. You need to pick a direction and apply your points to raise those skills. Being wishy-washy causes you to make a character that's difficult to play (spoken from experience! ). It's a fun game.

"Dungeons and Dragons Heroes" was my favorite of the BG:DA style games.
