Champions of Norrath

Strengths: Great multiplayer, extremely high replayability, easy to learn, and totally fun!!!!

Weakness: N.A.

Although i only rented this game once i had so much fun with it I can begin to calculate how many of the total 7 days i used out of it. Its one of those easy to learn non-stop hack n' slash that will keep you going for those long nights. Plus with the additon that it is multiplayer , it so sick. I love to have random friends over and just pick up the game at any one point and we count kills and...

Champions of Norrath

Strengths: online play

Weakness: camera

this game is very fun to play. It is a multiplayer, hack and slash rpg set in the everquest universe. I have never played everquest so i do not know anything about it. the gameplay is reminescent of Baulder's gate dark alliance. The game is 4 players, on and offline. For the 20 bucks it is offered, it is well worth it.

Champions of Norrath

Strengths: Addictives, customizing your character build, 5 different character classes, online play

Weakness: Not alot of extras or incentive to play for

Champions of Norrath is a Hack N' Slash action adventure game much like what Diablo II is on PC. The menus are about as easy to understand as a Hack N' Slash game can have on a console system. You can play online in a game with up to 4 people or play offline with up to four people with a multitap. While the game itself is alot of fun afew things did hinder the game though. Once you finish an act...

Diablo-esque but that's a good thing

Strengths: Excellent graphics; plenty of missions; good boss battles

Weakness: Some framerate problems

Champions of Norrath is another of the hack and slash games from Snowblind. If you're into hack and slash games, these games are good stuff. The graphics are great and the game controls are good. The storyline is nothing spectacular but is acceptable (you know orcs & goblins must be stopped). There are some good boss battles. The game has multi-player options for 2 players and online play. One...

Champion of Action RPGs

Strengths: + multiplayer option, 1-4 players + customizable characters and 5 groups to choose from

Weakness: - character models are a bit crude. - the camera for 2 or more players is too far away from the action and characters look like ants.

Even though Champions of Norrath has everything and more that the original Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance offered, for some reason I didn't enjoy it as much. It's good fun, especially when you have several friends to play along but I think the camera ruined it for me. When you have multiplayer on, the camera is zoomed out and really high making it very difficult to see what you're fighting.

Champions of Norrath - Highly recommended!!!

Strengths: Ability to sell unwanted gear, and buy upgrades and better armor; excellent graphics

Weakness: Weak online capabilities; no "quick save" feature during missions

This game is one of the best RPGs I have ever played. The character customization at the beginning is unique, and the ability to add points to your character's individual skill set is another fun feature. The particle effects, lighting and detailed graphics are all excellent. Also, the music score adds drama to each level you encounter. The only drawback to this game is that sometimes the tile...

Fun RPG + hack n slash

Strengths: Online play, hours of entertainment

Weakness: gets repetitive

I thoroughly enjoyed playing this game. While I didn't play a lot of online play, I did utilize the multiplayer option a lot and it makes the game a lot more fun. Nonetheless, even with one player, this game can be fun. It is a hack and slash game set in an everquest world. Highly recommend.

Champions of Norrath

Strengths: Great hack-and-slash adventure, online play, good music.

Weakness: Wierd freezing glitches, repetetive, cheaters in online play.

I've always loved cooperative games and this game is great way to play online or offline (with multitap). I have never gotten into any MMORPG due to the lack of real-time battles so it was a welcome relief that Sony decided to make this game. It's basically you and up to 3 other people get to explore different lands and dungeons to further the goals in the story and to enhance your character's...

Champions of Norrath

Strengths: Armor, weapons, levels.

Weakness: pretty much the same as balders gate.

Not being too keen on Role-playing games, I was hesitant to pick this title up, I'm glad I did. I've been playing it for some time now, trying out new characters and raising my stats. It's actually pretty fun when you sit down and play. You can also play the game with up to four players. But you all have to be on the same screen and have to split the pick-ups between yourselves, so you might want...

Champions of Norrath: Realms of EverQuest

OK, while a lot of people out there agree that Baldur’s Gate for PS2 was one of the cooler titles out a year or so ago, many were not happy with the fact that the game was just way too short. I personally thought that it had the makings of one of the better games out on the market, and eagerly awaited the release of Baldur’s Gate II, hoping that the continuing story from the first one would...
