Over the last three years, Snowblind Studios has made a name for themselves with fast-paced, action-oriented hack-n-slash games for the console market. After the release of Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance in 2001, they refined their formula and released Champions of Norrath early in 2004. Now, with Champions: Return to Arms, the sequel to Champions of Norrath, Snowblind has delivered perhaps the finest hack-n-slash dungeon romp to yet appear on the PS2.

GameSpot's guide to Champions: Return to Arms is your one-stop shop for coverage of all of the game's many facets. One of the most intriguing aspects of the game is its inclusion of a number of side-quests and mini-games, in the form of the search for the Champion's Medallions and the Bloodstones. Some of these challenges are quite difficult; luckily for you, we've got maps and walkthroughs for them all, which should help you become a fully-certified champion and unlock the most powerful weapon in the game. Enjoy!
