And after renting it Saturday afternoon, I've now beaten the game with a good character. It had its good points and its bad points. I'm still annoyed that, since it's supposedly such a breakthrough in RPGs, you can't even choose your sex. You're forced to play as the boy. It still feels more like a hack-n-slash with some brief nods to roleplaying to me than a true RPG, but a lot of that is because I wanted to see how quickly I could beat it. I could have done more non-main quest things, more roleplaying things than I did, so keep that in mind when reading this post. The NPCs did make me laugh frequently though. I spent more time laughing at them than telling them to shut their pie-holes, which is a good thing. I had fun kicking the chickens and beating my best distances. The mini-games annoyed me though, the gambling ones. Not quite sure why though. I did fish a lot in the game, until Gnollguy got bored watching me fish. ;)
I did have fun with most of the game, but it really doesn't seem like its worth going out and buying though. I'd much rather just rent it for 5 days for only $6 and play through it a couple of times.
Intolerant monkey.
