my little girl love it she could wait until we got it so she can play it Customer Review: Beyond A Piece of Trash
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm not sure what the designers of this game were thinking really. I've been playing video/pc games since Pong and I've seen both good and bad. I have kept an open mind. Eye candy doesn't mean a good game. This however...wow, it boggles the mind. The graphics for today's games are horrible. The voices of the characters and what they say are beyond lame. The game mechanics are extremely vague and theres no real manual of relevance. The whole thing is really just a piece of trash. Look elsewhere, like Pong. Customer Review: Boring is righ

The game runs and plays fine, but, as reviewed by so many, I just lost interest in it. Talk to guy, open chest, find key, open door, talk to guy, etc. Boring.Customer Review: Beyond Boring

It's rare that you'll find a bad review of a game here at Amazon from me, but I have to speak up about the woeful Beyond Divinity. A sequel to the much-heralded Divine Divinity, BD is an amateurish romp through a bunch of static landscapes that holds no value, unless you like getting annoyed. The main story line is decent and unique, bringing two characters together in a "soul bond," which causes them to act as one, or die together. You control them both and it's nice to craft the characters any way you want, but limiting it to three basic flavors (warrior, rogue, or wizard) is kind of lame and doesn't allow for much customization since you'll spend most of your time fighting yourself to decide which items to carry to alleviate your "encumbrance." Yawn.
The dialogue is awful, esp. the Deathknight under your control, and I really don't need to hear from every Imp I encounter.
The game tries to be Diablo (much like the first Divine Divinity), but it just doesn't have the polish that Blizzard puts into all of its titles. The Battlegrounds feature is a complete distraction from the main storyline and because it's "randomly generated," you may find yourself trudging on and on in a dungeon, only to realize the item you seek is in the third level of another dungeon in that same Act's Battlefield. Blah.
Inventory management, graphics, sound, and overall gameplay really hamper this game from being any fun. I suggest Diablo II if you like hack 'n slash RPGs on the PC, or if you have a console, the Champions of Norrath or Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance series are very well done.
Despite the $20 price tage, save your money and look elsewhere.
Customer Review: If I Had Known ?
Summary: 1 Stars
I didn't know a game company could install a program/drivers onto my computer without informing me. And, the only way to uninstall the program/drivers is to get the removal program from the game company site = it's not even included on the cd/game ?. Talk about shady and underhanded tactics. I refuse to allow anyone to have access to my computer, so this game is being returned. With so many worthy games available, I'm not going to add to what hopefully doesn't become the industry standard: "if you want to play our game, we must have access to your computer". The risk just doesn't outweigh the reward !
