Surprisingly awesome!
I actually had great hopes for this game before release, being myself a fan of the original Bard's Tale. To my great disappointment it wasn't well received by critics so it sort of went off of my radar. Eventually my fri... Read Full Review

Generally fun game with a good sense of humor.
(revised) Bottomline: If you enjoy dry, British humor and can appreciate all the fun the game pokes at CRPG cliches, you should enjoy this game. It's the kind game that will have broad appeal, and be though by most a... Read Full Review

A Lot Better Then Expected, The comedy definitely makes this game a whole lot better then if it was a normal rpg
The first thing I have to say straight off is this game is a lot better then the gamespot.com score gave it. I am not blown away by this game, but this game is definitely worth at least as a rental on the PS2 or the Xbo... Read Full Review

The great voice work overcomes some real "been-there-done that" gameplay.
You've seen this game before. Whether it was called "Dungeons and Dragons Heroes" or "Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance" or "Champions of Norrath" when you load up Bard's Tale, you will immediately think--hey! I have been here... Read Full Review

Cheeky Bard meets Consoles and no one really wins.
Quick statement. I never played any of the Bards Tale before this game and I fear that as a result, I will never want to. From all reports I have read they were pretty good and humorous. And while this game does have ... Read Full Review

Quite tedious but if you don't mind some repetitive gameplay, have at this...
Before I begin, I will say that I have not beaten the game. While it is typically my "policy" not to review a game before I complete it, The Bard's Tale has not given me many reasons as to why I should complete it. How... Read Full Review

entertaining, always looking to come home and do more, thought it would be a bit more dirty humor and stuff ( cleavge), but very clean humor, just a little suggestive. picking the right combo of summoned helpers can be... Read Full Review

Some Interesting Moments
The Bards Tale is an interesting game, and does have some humoros moments. As the Gamespot review says, Don't go in expecting Monty Python and the Holy Grail. To be honest, though, there are a few moments worthy of Robin... Read Full Review

The biggest disappointment I've experienced to date. Has some good ideas, but has virtually no quality roleplaying.
I had really high hopes for this game. Unfortunately, the game didn't quite turn out the way I imagined I would. I have only played it for about an hour, so the game might grow on me, in which case I'll update this rev... Read Full Review

10 Hours in, and still waiting for the side splitting humor to start. "Armed and Dangerous" is still the comedy champ.
Admittedly, as I continue to play this game...it is getting better, but I have to also admit that in the 1st hour, I was starting to doze off. I had really bought into all the hype that this was one of the funniest and ... Read Full Review
