True to the Paper and Pen RPG

User Rating: 9.5 | Dungeons & Dragons Tactics PSP
I just got it today, and have only played like 5 hours, about half of that time making new people. But this is coming from someone who has played D&D, the paper and pencil rpg, for about 7 years now, (5 or so years of DMing), this game is great. If you have never played D&D then this game will not make much cents, cause they only go over how to move and attack. You don't know what everthing does, but they do have the details for it if you hit the help button. For fans like me it is a pick up and play, no need to looking at books or help screens. The game play is ture to the paper rpg, and most people will say this game sucks cause of that. Starting on your first few missions, it could take 3 to 10 attack before you can hit something and that hit will not even kill, but the badies are the same way. That is how it is in the real D&D, it takes time before you can become great. In the real game you start as just above the common joe. Your a person who wakes up one day and says "hey I want to kill things and become strong". (well unless your DM starts you at a higher level). All in all this game is for the long term fans. If you have never touched a D&D book, then you might want to stay away.
