Rating:8.5
Visually colorful and very big open world environment. Great combat, though a bit too easy for those who love challenge
A lot of fun to play, though perhaps nothing too new under the sun. Very bright and colorful world. Lots of elvish things running about. Weapons are great and criters attack you from all sides making for some great battl... Read Full Review

KOA:R vs Skyrim
I know, I know, Skyrim vs KOA:R kinda overrated, but this is the only competition Skyrim has. If you're looking in to buying one or the other, or even both, maybe you should take a quick skim. GRAPHICS Not a lot of... Read Full Review

Worth $60 actually
In the current game market with everything either being a relaunch, or sequel it is a nice change of pace for something to be based on a book that can continue to develop as it's own gaming franchise. From a personal and... Read Full Review

An under appreciated master piece, made for fans of real RPG
Gamespot thinks this game is a flop. They are wrong. For any fan of WoW, or any other MMORPG for that matter, this is a must have. The game was originally created as an MMORPG, then they decided to make a console rpg ins... Read Full Review

I think Gamespot under rates this game at least a point or two!
This is a really great game. This review is not so great. While they are right the gameplay is surely this highlight, the down falls do not warrant a 7.5 rating! I think that they should have given it at least a 8.5 with... Read Full Review

Best Combat System in any RPG
Kingdoms of Amalur, you surely surprised me. I was very skeptical prior to purchase, thinking this can't match Skyrim...but I was wrong. In terms of a great game, it is completely on par. I'll keep this simple; PR... Read Full Review

Probably one of the best RPG games innovated into today's world. Hope more take this approach in the future.
Wonderfully colored world, Extravagant battle system to keep your attention at times. Plenty of stuff to do with main, side, and faction quests. Wishing they would've interpreted some sort of online play and fix some of ... Read Full Review

Amalur is a hack'n'slash. It will lift you up with its gameplay and let you down with its universe, or lack thereof.
Do you hunger for a coherent world you can feel a part of? For an epic story that will intrigue and move you? For deep characters that will stay with you long after you've put down the game? Look elsewhere. Try Ama... Read Full Review

You'll want to play this game for the amazing combat, everything else is on the side, and it's worth it.
Don't let the 1 sentence review deck statement fool you, Kingdoms of Amalur has enough to bring to the plate than any RPG, unfortunately, in the current market it's in it will constantly be compared to Skyrim, and I'm he... Read Full Review

Kingdoms of Amalur is a good solid game in its own right and is way underrated.
Well to kick this off, a lot of critics say it borrows from other games and has a generic and bland story. Well RPG's kind of have a "standard ground" nowadays, so whats wrong with following that standard? In all honest... Read Full Review
