throughout the many levels of this game.
The game graphics are incredibly good considering the age of this game, and it is truly one of the first real 3d role-playing game, following closely in the footsteps of Wolfenstein and spear of destiny. The game supports sound blaster (this was a truly amazing feed back in the day it came out!) with a well mastered and truly catching background tune that will stick with you long after your mum kicks you off the computer and sends you to bed because of school tomorrow!!!
The game-play is truly addictive, with levels progressing at a reasonable rate, however never leaving the player too advanced, not unable to conquer their enemies. There are many tricks and tactics to be learnt which can make the game more enjoyable and enable the player to progress at a much faster rate; however it also supports the ability for players to simply wander off task and explore the world at their own leisure.
Throughout the entire game there is something new and interesting arising for the player to explore and discover, presented in the form of some masterfully written scripture, not to mention the awesome font!!! There are also movies played throughout the game (between levels) that further the story. The most powerful aspect of this game lies in the depth and scope of characters, which truly draw you in and captivate your imagination in this wonderful world of magic.
All in all, this is perhaps one of the best games I’ve ever played (don’t be fooled by the crappy sequels!) and I would rate it 5/5 stars without blinking.
