Customer Reviews

The heroes have arrived!!!
I got this for christmas and I still am playing it now. Before I got this I had Baldurs Gate Dark Alliance. I thought it was brilliant the only down side being it wasn't that long. Heroes brings a more in-depth story-line which I loved. The great thing about this game is that you have to use tactics and strategy to defeat the bosses. Unlike Dark Alliance when it was just straight in and kill. The game is not repetitive in my view and the ability to learn special spells/attacks brings more to it. The weapons are fab. Another great thing is that you have to collect 20 Soul Shards in the game to boost your best weapon. Its really great. I hope they bring out a sequel.

One of the better ones
I got this after finishing Baldurs Gate 2 because I wanted something similar. This is excellent and, I think, a bit harder because it doesn't have so much armour and suchlike to buy. You can't make your character better or recall back to the shop and its save point quite so easily so have to be better than in the BGDA games. It is much easier to look at than BGDA and you have the zoom in zoom out to help you. It lost the final star because there isn't much replay value, the story being the same with all characters but all the other aspects make this a very good game for the money. I am a 44 year old woman who has done most of the RPGs on all three consoles and think this is as good as many of the others I have played.

Brilliant game...
If you liked Baldurs Gate Dark alliance then you'll love this! There are some improvements namely that you can now zoom in and out and there are no jumping sections (if you played BGDA you'll know the bit I mean). The cut scenes that happen at various points are fantastic, the beholder being my favourate! The levels are huge and so well detailed. Be warned however, this is no RPG - its an arcade style hack em up just like BGDA. Various options are available to customise the characters but the only choices worth taking are those that make your hero tougher and hit harder/faster. Can't wait till BGDA2 Q1 2004.
