Excellent review...actual score could have been even higher based on the reviewer's overwhelmingly positive experience with the game!

Well, I love the game. It's actually one of the best I have played in many years. I started gaming on my Commodore 64 back in the mid 80s. I have played tons of CRPGs in the last 17 years or so. From Zork to Morrowind. I can say without a doubt that Divine Divinity already is in the top 5 of any I have ever played. It's just a wonderful and fantastic game. Very refined and beautiful. It has a fun factor that just grabs me and won't let go. One of my top favorites was Ultima VII - The Black Gate. Also liked Planescape Torment, Fallout, Ultima Underworld, Diablo 2, Wizardry, Bards Tale, Daggerfall, Morrowind, etc. I think DD reminds me the most of Ultima VII with a good dash of Diablo 2 thrown in as well. It's just so polished and extremely well done. I highly recommend the game to you without reservation. It is the most fun I have had on my PC in several years. tige |

Well, it is like Diablo in many ways, but it has much more depth of story, NPC interaction, and feels much like a living, breathing world. If you have ever played Ultima 7: The Black Gate you will know what I am talking about.
It feels like a combination of Diablo and Ultima 7 the most IMHO. tige |

There are 3 classes: Warrior, Thief, Mage. Each has 4 paths--for example, the Mage has Elemental, Summoning, I forget the other two. Each path has 8 skills. You are NOT restricted to other skill sets because of your starting class. For example, if you play a warrior (the only class you can play in the demo), it's a damn good idea to pick up repair and lockpick from the Thief set and Meteorstrike from the Mage set (good bang for the mana with that spell). You get 1 (occasionally 2) skill points and 5 attribute points each level. The Demo took about 10 hours to play. My only complaint about DD is that it's easy to get quests out of order, screwing up the dialog. And a message to certain magazine reviewers: If I want bloody multiplayer, I'll play face-to-face! I don't want or need it in a computer game! |
