Previously Take
An 81 average that undersells it — ask the 366 people who rated it. An RPG that understands the assignment: fantasy, kids, meaningful choices, and combat with actual teeth. A full single-player game with a multiplayer side that refuses to die. A 2002 original that still holds up — they don't make them like this anymore, literally.
About this game
