Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoy this game after I looked for it forever. I bought it once before, but it did not work properly. This one works great. I also appreciate the timely delivery of this product.
Description of Wheel of Time
Have you been waiting to experience the power of Aes Sedai, fight with the strength of a Ter'angreal, and search for the everlasting cuendillar seals? The Wheel of Time--with a storyline that's a prequel to the series--holds a combination of action and strategy that mirrors Robert Jordan's bestselling books.Similar to the series, the Dark One has broken out of his prison--this time held by four seals--and you must find a way to seal him away again. Play as Elayna--in single player mode--and fight to find the missing seals. (You might find this mode slightly limiting, though, since Elayna only moves by foot.) Multiplayer allows the use of the Portal Stones and Ter'angreal and introduces more intricate character development.
The graphics are good, and you get the chance to personally explore the White Tower, Shadar Logoth, the Fortress of the Forsaken, and the Outpost of the Children of the Light--four locations that determine your success in the game. You will not be able to play as Rand, or fight Padon Fain, although there are some surprise appearances by certain characters! The game is almost as engrossing as the series itself; but don't worry if you're a newcomer, the experience of the The Wheel of Time won't be lost on you--you will be lost in it.
This action/strategy game is based on Robert Jordan's best-selling series of fantasy novels. Created with an enhanced version of the Unreal engine, Wheel of Time mixes first-person 3-D action with strategy and even a bit of role playing. The huge world in which Wheel of Time takes place is lifted directly out of Jordan's pages. How you navigate the world will depend largely on whether you're in single-player or multiplayer mode. In the single-player game, the story centers on Elayna Sedai, the Keeper of the Chronicles of the White Tower. Her goals in the single player experience are unique, and, as you work to achieve them, you'll uncover the seeds of motivation in the other three characters (the Leader of the Children of Light, the Forsaken, and the Hound). These characters become more fleshed out in the multiplayer game. The multiplayer game is your chance to take up the mantle of any of these characters. The important thing to remember, though, is that the other characters view you as an enemy. While you're scrambling to obtain two more seals, so is everyone else--and they won't think twice about looting your Citadel to get them.
