Video Game Reviews of Avencast: Rise Of The Mage
Customer Review: Second tier game
Summary: 2 Stars
This game tries hard and runs well, but for one whose very favorite is Morrowind it doesn't cut it. Of course, millions were probably not spent in development and marketing and no one should expect it to be another Morrowind. To me, it is boring and I can't seem to make myself play it enough to get out of the academy.
