Would of been better if didn't have so many bugs, glitches, and just out right annoyances. Still worth playing.

User Rating: 6.5 | AVENCAST: Rise of the Mage PC
Storyline: 8 - Very solid storyline, gets a little patchy at times but still great.

Graphics: 7 - for a 3rd person view style game, this one sets a pretty decent standard for graphics. There is some certain room for improvement.

Sound: 8.5 - Great sound, very realistic. Especially good when it comes to the environment.

Environment/Maps: 8 - Very detailed maps. Many user friendly events or objects. I definitely like the usable toilet.

Game Engine/Scripting: 5 - Obvious glitches and bugs before you even get into the game. Menu is glichy and quite a few times do your enemies disappear and the quests will say there is still something to kill.

Interface: 4 - Annoying interface, all 3 view-modes have problems. Item and spell hot-key or way of using them just outright blows. Made fighting rather hard even on the easy mode. The rest of the interface is mediocre to good.

Menu: 5 - Menu is pretty simple and very pretty looking. It seems to lag or have glitches though. All video and other options are done out side of the game which is very annoying when something needs to be changed.

Overall: 6.5 - Would of been better if didn't have so many bugs, glitches, and just out right annoyances. Still worth playing or at least checking out.
