Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom (Playstation 3, 2006)

I'll begin by saying I'm new to Playstation. I have an Xbox and an Xbox 360 but am in no way partial to one console or another. I bought this game for two reasons. There aren't many games available for the PS3 and I like this type of RPG. I love the Playstation 3 but was really disappointed with this game. It was fun at first. One of the things that makes it boring after a while is your character NEVER changes weapons. If that weren't bad enough, your method of combat stays the same. I liked the fact that there were three characters from which to choose. I thought that would add some variance to the game. I haven't tried the Mage but the Warrior and Scout aren't that much different. The Scout just moves faster and uses blades instead of a hammer. I've never played a game where the warrior fought with a hammer! There aren't any shops so can't buy and sell items. I thought that may be a good thing. As I got into the game I yearned for a shop just to break the monotony. In the place of shops you disenchant items and receive points. The armor wasn't that great. In fact, I found that aspect of the game confusing or maybe I just lost interest. The graphics are good but not as dazzling as one might expect. There were awkward moments with the camera angles but very few games are without those. The fighting was fun and could have been better with more weapons and combat techniques. If you can pick this game up at a REALLY GOOD price you may want to buy it. For those of you familiar with Xbox this game is NOT Fable or Baldur's Gate by any stretch of the imagination!
