7th Guest Ranks Low in Originality and Variety

by dydx , Jul 10 '00
Pros: Campy live-action scenes, 2 interesting puzzles
Cons: Lacks overall puzzle originality, Fatal errors during game play abound
I realize that this is not the correct product under which to post this review. However, both The Wheel of Time and 7th Guest are adventure games put out by GT Interactive. Until Epinions adds a general game category, or allows Epinioners to add...

could be MUCH better

by majorowl , Dec 05 '00
Pros: entertaining plot; nice graphics, great soundtrack
Cons: another wolfenstein/doom/quake/etc
Many seem to be trying to plug this game as more than another first-person-shooter (FPS). Maybe it is... but not really. The vast majority of this game is running around and shooting bad guys. You're in the first-person perspective. Hmmm......

BUGGY piece of garbage

by phungus, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Feb 14 '00
Pros: Nice graphics and sound
Cons: Too many bugs, save game corruption
This game could have been so good!!! Whoever ok'ed the release of this thing should be exiled to the island of Corsica! AHHHHHHHHH!

I am sick and tired of software companies putting inferior products on the market and figuring on just...

Wheel of Time: PC Game

by Zarrax , Mar 07 '00
Pros: Awesome presentation of Jordan's creation
Cons: Need a high end machine to enjoy all it offers
I am a fan of the book series. Robert Jordan has created a superb fantasy world. Because of the indepth nature of his writing, visualization of his world is fairly easy to imagine. However, every reader creates his or her own image. When a game comes...

Linear. Short. And assumes you're an idiot.

by mute , Jan 17 '00
Pros: Nice graphics.
Cons: Poor puzzles. Way way too short.
Okay, so I really really wanted to like this one. I played the demo, and was in awe of the graphics-- it uses an extended version of the Unreal engine, and the interiors are some of the loveliest I've seen since Unreal. The detail is impeccable, the...

Wheel of Time Innovates

by SuperJaded , Nov 30 '99
Pros: A unique first person shooter, strong multiplayer, tons of weapons
Cons: Citadel can be laggy, single player can get tedious, and poor Direct3D support
There are those individuals out there who want to take a done and redone-a-thousand-times-genre and change it. When the tried and true formula is repeated a thousand times in a thousand games, there is always one developer out there trying to throw it...

Accurate Replica of the Jordan world

by DagdaMor , Feb 18 '00
Pros: Great storyline
Cons: A few major bugs
When I started to play this game I wasn't sure that I liked the idea of spell casting in a 1st person shooter, the controls were akward and I had to tweak them quite a bit in order to get the effect I needed. Other than that the game was awesome. It...

Fans of the books will hope for more...

by psykosis_fc , Dec 21 '99
Pros: Innovative combat system and a quick WoT fix while you're waiting for the next book that's always going to hit the stores "next month"
Cons: A flat FPS, with very little RPG and the same recipe that all other FPS's use--Kill all, find power-ups, solve jumping/lever puzzles
Having read every one of the Wheel of Time series of books at least three times since their release, I was eagerly anticipating this title since I first saw the originator's website over a year ago. Alot has changed since then. While the characters and...

Visually Stunning with an Excellent Plot

by Daegen , Nov 20 '99
Pros: Great movies between missions. Gorgeous Graphics. Original Multiplayer.
Cons: Needed A3D support. Looks best on 3DFX cards. You might not understand the plot if you didn't read the books. Multiplayer didn't hold my interest long.
I’m not the type of person who likes to play single player games on the computer. I learned a long time ago that it is a lot more fun to play games online than it is to play them by myself. Every now and then a game will come along that will capture my...

Everything you wanted it to be, and more!

by Cosmofind.com , Mar 27 '00
Pros: Great Graphics and Game Play
Cons: Somewhat large and has some bugs
This game was something I watched deevelop from 96. Being a hardcore Jordan Fan, I started reading the books and was suspended into their lush decor. This game fantastically twists the plot of Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" into it's own plot....

FPS for people who hate FPS

by darkw0lf , Dec 16 '99
Pros: Innovative gameplay, Stunningly Beautiful Graphics
Cons: Uhmmm.... long load times for levels?
I am the first to say that the FPS or "DOOM style" game genre has gotten, to say the least, a bit stale. Here is the new kid on the block that redefines the genre. What make this game different is that the storyline seems to be actually tied in...

I've only played the demo-A moronic opinion

by inscrutable_po , Feb 01 '00
Pros: Nice architecture. Runs well
Cons: Short levels and not many of them. Lonely feeling to the game
77megs. It took awhile to download. I was impressed with the graphics. They certainly delivered the beautiful architecture as promised. Nice sound too. Nice touches with the brief scenes while playing like most of the games have now. Kind of a lonely...

Great Game : Quake-RPG Twist

by corpse69 , Jan 27 '00
Pros: RPG- 1st Person Twist
Cons: Laggy multiplayer
This game is a wonderful twist between The great game of Quake and a RPG story line. It has many wonderful features that other games just did not have. Instead of using guns in this game, you mostly use magic and without the wait of mana to restore you...

This is bound to make more money for Jordan

by brotherjudas , Jan 19 '00
Pros: graphics, weapons,multi-player, smart AI
Cons: pointless items
I have read Jordan's series and am eagerly awaiting the 9th book, so when I found out about this game I downloaded the demo got hooked and acquired the full game.
I’m going to make this review short and simple.

A: the graphics are...

The Wheel Of Time......

by Valeran , Apr 07 '00
Pros: Graphics and Weapons
Cons: Need a HIGH END system to enjoy
I have been a long time fan of the book series and I was very pleased when I heard they were making a game for it. I tried the demo version which was a very good taste of the game but it was limited in what you could do. I was giving the game as a...
