This is one of the most criminally underplayed RPG's out there. The story is great, the graphics were quite amazing for 2002 and the spell/combat system is addicting.
The only major issue with this release is, of course, that it is a JoWood game. This means that you can expect a myriad of bugs - some of them game-stopping. If you can push through that stuff, however, there is some fantastic fantasy gameplay to be had here.
