Decent turned based RPG marred by bugs.
User Rating: 7.7 | The Temple of Elemental Evil PC
Toee is a decent game though unfortunately it was crippled by major bugs, not only that patches took about 6 months to come out. This is the only game I had to wait about 8 months to finish because of constant crashings that were eventually fixed in a patch. It'd suggest heading to co8.org .It's kinda poor when a third party group does a better job of patching and fixing quest bugs and annoying features like the black fog that covers the towns. Gameplay - Probably turn based D&D combat at it's best, quite technical and in some respects people who know the D&D rules are going to get alot more out of playing this. It does start off quite hard and it might put off the novice gamer, but stick it out. I found the gameplay interesting but for me it started getting a bit repetitive one you hit the temple as you had enedless rooms of monsters to decimate. Quests were fairly interesting, you could even side with the enemy so it was quite flexible in it's approach. Graphics - Really sharp, I hope they make more D&D games with this. great spell effects. Sound - nice sound effects for the spells, music was excellent as well with fitting tracks in most areas. Value- A fair amount of replay as the ending can be slightly different depending alot on what your actions were. I'd suggest any D&D fan get it because basically there isn't alot of D&D games coming out so you can't afford to be too choosey.
