The Bard's Tale User Review
- Difficulty:
- Just Right
- Time Spent:
- 10 Hours or Less
- The Bottom Line:
- "Just plain fun"
I bought this game a long time ago and did not start playing it until recently. If you like games like Champions of Norath or Baldur's Gate then you will like this game. It plays like those games but has a very comical twist to the RPG formula.
The Good
- The Graphics are solid and the animations fit together well
- The story is great and the voice acting is solid and in place
- Innovative companion system allows you to summon minions to aid you in fight
- The narrator and the bard's comments keep you enjoying the game through out
The Bad
- Combat can seem slow at some times
- Enemies are powerful and a lot of damage is taken making it hard to complete some parts
- Good/Bad system does not work as well as it could
Overall this game is good and it is a buy, you can find it in your bargain bin so it won't hurt you.

Not groundbreaking by any means, but the incredible humor and cheekiness of Bard's Tale kept me interested.

The ending you get if you choose to quit just before the final battle. Best ending, in my opinion.Posted Aug 7, 2008
