User Rating: 8.7 | The Temple of Elemental Evil PC
If you like fun RPG's where you can build your characters up and use some strategy instead of just hack n slash clicking, this is for you. The game doesn't stray from its D&D foundation-- and that's awesome. The combat graphics (spells & critical swings) especially are excellent, and the overall dungeon romp and character development is simply a lot of fun. Isn't that what we want out of these? It's also a made for PC game, unlike some of the new console-friendly RPG's. If you like old school RPG's buy Temple of Elemental Evil. The downsides are the radial menu, the graphics can slow things down from time to time, and many of the subquests aren't rewarding (maybe that was intended). I hope the makers come out with expansion modules or sequels, because they've built a great engine and it definitely comes as a good new RPG after Baldur's Gate II and Elder Scrolls.
