Classic Dungeon Siege(Review From Amazon) | General Comments: CRPG's do not need to be innovative. The basic concept of "run from place to place to get cool stuff for my avatar and give him or her cool abilities" has worked since Wizardry and Bard's Tale. That's fortunate, because Throne of Agony does not offer innovation. What it does have is many, many hours of hack-and-slash gameplay in a surprisingly large world for a handheld game. The interface allows considerable control of your character's inventory, stats, and gameplay; and the graphics look quite good considering the platform.
If you already know that you enjoy this style of gameplay, then there is no reason not to buy Throne of Agony. It will give you a polished, fun fix of "just a few more skeletons and I get my level" gameplay. |

A Surprised Favorite - Spent hours on this game...(Review From Amazon) | General Comments: I'm not a huge game player, the only other game I really got interested in was Diablo II on my computer at home. When I got my PSP, I purchased this game after I read a review about how similar it was to Diablo.
It is, in many ways, just like the Diablo game. You are a "warrior" who is given quests and you go about battleing monsters and evil - collecting money and magical weapons/items along the way. You have to purchase health & mana potions and so on so forth. It's not as complex as Diablo (which is understandable since you are playing it on a PSP - not a computer).
I did find the loading times annoying at first. Everytime you want to go somewhere or look at a map, the game will take a couple of minutes to load. I usually set my PSP down and stretch for a bit before going back to battle.
I like the graphics and the scenery. There's the ocean, forests, deserts, mountains, etc. I also like having a "follower" to help out with killing the monsters. The plots & quests are also easy to follow. Sometimes when I'm playing the game, I'd wish it was on a bigger screen or brighter, but that can't be helped since the PSP is small for portability.
It's extremely addictive and I enjoy playing this game alot. Before I purchased this, I did go to Blockbuster and rented it for about a week. If you aren't sure, perhaps you can try that out too! I'm sure at the end of the week, you'll want to purchase a copy for yourself!! =) |

Beware - Bugs!(Review From Amazon) | General Comments: Everything was fine until about 2/3rds of the way through. At that point, I ran into some rather obvious bugs. First, it refused to acknowlege that I'd completed a quest - even the obvious steps like "Enter the Citadel" would not receive the checkmark. Then, it fell into a mode where I couldn't hit any monsters. Swinging just fine, but not able to actually hit anything. I tried rebooting from a saved game, but still ran into the same problems. Lost all motivation to start from the beginning with a new character... |

A Fine Dungeon Siege(Review From Amazon) | General Comments: This is a fine little game bringing the same kind of play as the successful "Untold Legends" series. The graphics aren't quite as nice, and you can't move the camera around, but this does not detract from the game play experience very much. On the plus side, you have a variety of interesting companions that may fight at your side (one will both fight and constantly heal you). I reccomend this game. |
