Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was surprised to see that no reviews had been written for this game. When I played it - seven or eight years ago now? - I had hours of fun with it, especially when I found the cheat codes online. (I'm not a skilled gamesman by any definition, and need all the help I can get!) It was true enough to the *world* that Jordan created, although it didn't contain any of the main characters. Which was fine with me.
The graphics were terrific, if a bit slow (I wonder how they'd run on the PC I have now, a few generations removed?), and the sounds were great. Shadar Logoth (sp? - it's been years) was just as spooky in the game as it was in the books, and I'll give Jordan credit; it was extremely eerie.
The guys that wrote this game put a lot of thought into it. Jordan utilized weaving Air, Fire, Earth, and Spirit in his system of magic, and so did the game. It even had balefire, and let me tell you - using balefire ROCKED. I felt like a kid when I was using that.
The end of the game gets rough, and even with all of the cheats, I was never able to get there. I did get past one male Forsaken, although I was just pressing buttons and holding my breath and couldn't tell you how I did it, but that's as good as it got for me.
I've never played the Atari game, and didn't realize it existed until this evening, when I looked for this game, so can't compare them.
With Jordan having passed away last September, people may want more than the books to keep them close to the world he created. This is as good as anything.
