Restricted Area should be avoided at all costs if you're looking for an immersive RPG with some semblance of a story.
So let me give you a list of things I did not like about the game. Bare with me this might take a moment...
- Bad clone
Now clones aren't always bad, just look at Sacred, which was an
enjoyable Diablo 2 clone. Sure, its got that futuristic twist, but that is
about it. If you're looking for a mindless RPG to just pass the time until a
good RPG comes along, don't bother. Rather play one of your old RPGs
that you enjoyed.
- Dull story
This game has about as much of a story as a really bad pornographic
movie. Really, there is no story and if there was one, you'll probably lose
it within the first two hours.
- Almost zero side quests
The side quests that you do get are boring and they might as well have
left them out. They've got no substance and will add nothing towards
your experience.
- Buggy
After all the above the game still had to go and be buggy. I think this fact
might have pushed me over the edge. Putting on a piece of equipment
and not getting the stats increase, etc. that it should be giving... that is
just frustrating.
- Outdated Graphics
Some bad games try to wow you with great graphics, Restricted Area did
not even succeed in doing that. I'm not one that cares much for graphics
as long as the story is good. Alas with this game we have neither.
I could go on, but I think I have already bored you (just like this game will) with all the bad things about Restricted Area.
My last words of wisdom... If you call yourself a lover of RPGs you must not play this game. Don't torture yourself, I've already been tortured for you.
