4 out of 5 stars Fun Two-Player Game   October 16, 2008
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

If you are looking for a two player rpg for the PS2 system, this is one of the better ones. It's a fun, but typical, hack and slash rpg. You run around and kill things, collect weapons, etc.

The character choices are interesting and customizable. As a chick, I really appreciated all of the choices for female characters.

The only reason I played this was because of it being two-player co-op. If I were to play it by myself, and not use the online features, I think it would get boring quickly, because of the repetitive nature of the game play.




5 out of 5 stars Great Game!   August 26, 2008
I got this game for free from a friend, (it wouldnt work cause of the major scratches on the disk. but I used car wax and buffed the scratches out, and the game worked fine!) anyway, I honestly didnt know what to exspect from this game.. I knew nothing about it before I played it. but I was extremly happy that I got this game for free, it is truely a great game! There are so many things to do, and tons of items (weapons, armor, jewelry with benefits, weapon upgrades, and more..) It has a great story line which I was very pleased about, cause sometimes you buy games that have louzy story lines which usualy ruin the game..

This game is a must buy! Probably the best of its genre that I've played.
I definitely recommend this game!



4 out of 5 stars aka Diablo 1   August 20, 2008
I'm tired of Diablo 2 and wanted an alternative . . . after some research, bought this game. It's pretty funny because it is almost exactly like Diablo. Unfortunately it lacks the great multiplayer aspect of Blizzard, but it's still very fun. If you loved Diablo, you'll love this game. It's almost the same thing. It could be an expansion pack. I'm surprised Blizzard didn't sue.


3 out of 5 stars Fun game, but with a lackluster and repetitive battle mechanic.   April 28, 2008
 1 out of 2 found this review helpful

I bought Champions of Norrath, after I had just finished Final Fantasy XII, which I loved and throughly enjoyed playing the entire game.
I was looking for another RPG that would hopefully equal FFXII or maybe even be better. The story is alright but didn't draw me in as much
FFXII did. The major problem I have with it is the battle mechanic, smashing on the X button seems more like a side by side fighting game
mechanic. Another issue I have with this game is that it is not playable from a 3rd person perspective. You just can get enough of your
surroundings on screen. Again other games have solved this, so not sure why this one keeps you a mile away looking down on your character
in order to be able to play with a reasonable amount of perspective.

PROS: Detailed armor, and weapon visuals are nice, and the character sometimes has some funny quips.
CONS: All in all it is fun, but the fun parts don't make up for the repetitiveness of the battle mechanic and the camera angle being so far away.



4 out of 5 stars didnt buy it here, but its great   April 2, 2008
it was great game while people were playing it online. kind of like diablo. the story is just about what you would expect from an action RPG where you can create our own character.

the sequel is okay, but due the expereinced crowd, its very hard for new players to enjoy online play. its just too ba this one was over looked. it didnt have many players online, but they few that were on could tell you that this was a great game.
