The Bard's Tale

THE most humorous game i have played in a long time! Being a veteran dungeon dweller helps fully appreciate it though.

User Rating: 8.5 | The Bard's Tale PS2

Summary:
The Bard's Tale. I mean, its the game that really started the whole genre back then in 1985. This newly brewed is not at all what Bard's tale used to be, but really, the humor and fantastic voice acting makes us laugh out loud.

The Game:
It's a decent hack&slash fest on the Baldur's Gate engine (the PS2 version here..don't mix things up!) and play a lot like Champions Return to Arms and other top down button mashing monster killin'

The Story:
Mix a good old classic D&D RPG with the 3 Stooges. It even features Karaoke songs (yes, that appears lame as hell and it is. but its surprisingly funny!)

Verdict:
By the time I write this review, the game sells for just a few coin. If your a veteran D&D player, get this title, the humor will get to you for sure.
