Video Game Reviews of Wizardry 8
Customer Review: Oh yeah...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an RPG for intelligent people. All the people complaining about this game are the same people who need the instant gratification of an action RPG. I've read some of the one star reviews, and some of them, really sound like the people never even played the game.
In this game you get to reposition your party during battle, which is an important strategy, as the enmy can surround you very quickly. Each comabt is an adventure, some battle have taken me up to an hour to win. For the person who said this is a point and click on the monster to fight it.....well....I'm really not sure what game you were playing, but it ain't this one.
The graphics are dated, not even a question, but there are so many games out there with great graphics and no substance at all. This is an adventure game with an underlying plot. It's VERY non linear, you can do anythign you want at any time. And it's very difficult. It might take you a few tries to figure it out. If you're looking for a hack n slash game play Oblivion. If you're looking for a great turn based game, from one of the great series of all time, look no further. Seriously.
Description of Wizardry 8
Wizardry 8 is an epic fantasy RPG that picks up where Wizardry 7: Crusaders of the Dark Savant left off. Fans of the series will recall that all hell had broken loose at the end of Wizardry 7. The Dark Savant had taken flight with a device called the Astral Dominae, an incredibly powerful artifact containing the secret of life itself. Following him are two powerful races, the T'Rang and the Umpani, as well as your own brave party of adventurers. Everyone is headed to Dominus, a world on the cusp of the Cosmic Circle, birthplace of the Astral Dominae, and home of the Cosmic Lords. Many paths will converge on Dominus, and many long-hidden secrets will be revealed.Newcomers to the series will enjoy a special beginning just for those who haven't played the previous game. Whether you're an old Wizardry adventurer or new, you'll enjoy a unique, well-developed role-playing world of unusual depth and freedom. The game is not strictly linear: if you're smart enough and tough enough, you can go wherever you want. You can team up with some of the factions you'll meet--and then double-cross them, if it suits your fancy.
