The Most Misleading Title Released in Years

DO NOT BOTHER TO SO MUCH AS RENT THIS GAME!... I bought it, pre-ordered it even, and I have to say this is one of the worst games released on any platform ever!... I'm not even joking. This game is that bad. Seriously, the sprites for this game are microscopic and the gameplay is ackward and redundant. I was seriously disappointed with this title and am writing this review in hopes that someone out there will be spared.

ridiculous

A useless game. The voice acting is incredibly awful, I've never played a game with worse vocal talent. Graphics are okay, but having Arthur's tiny cape flutter in the wind is hardly worth whatever promotional hoopla the developers saw fit to include on the CD.

Oh yes, people talk about the impressive cut-scenes, but that quality doesn't translate into the gameplay.

Thank God I rented it first.................

What a disappointment! Being a huge fan of the Gauntlet series (also by Midway) and fan of the King Arthur stories, I was stoked to play this game. Something told me to rent it before buying and I am so happy I did. The play is elementary - pure and simple - no fun. The graphics are okay but the characters you are using are so tiny you can hardly make them out (and I play on a 32" TV)...

WHAT A LET DOWN!!!

At first watching the trailer I was excited to check this game out. First thing the movies in this game are totally cool and have great graphics, but lacked in game play. I absolutely hated the camera view of this game. If it was first person then this game might of had a chance but overall this game got two thumbs down from me.

Where is that turbo control...

In short, if you like repeatedly tapping a button over and over again, then this game is for you! If you are really interested, this is a rental at best, only has about 12 hours of playing time. If there is an upside, some of the animation sequences are quite nice.

Very shallow and lackluster

I like the idea of this game, King Arthur, Merlin, Gwenevere, Lancelot, etc... but there is something missing. It reminds me of a really horrible version of Ultima 7 (for the PC), with no depth or cool fx. To sum up, I cannot tell you any reason to even play this game. Big disappointment. Level 2 is almost impossible, and after several attempts you might ask WHY BOTHER???

could have been better.

This game is an ok for the PS2. The graphics are not all that good and the CG's are pretty good too. Another thing I dont really like is that you have to switch your characters when fighting. That was pretty easy to get used to though. The characters are small it almost looks like PS graphics when fighting. The sound and the phrases of the characters start to get annoying after a while. Some levels it is fun to destroy the enemy and then some they just overwhelmed me and got very frustrating. The only thing I really liked was the story of the game. Where Arthur has to fight his evil sister to save england. That would proably be the only thing that saves this game. I would not say to buy this game, I would more likely say to rent it.

a game like no others

First of all, I was not sure if I was to give it 3 or 4 stars, But then, in my humble opinion, no game deserve a 5, and it is not the game of the year so... let say 3.5. This game have something that I can't describe. You play it and you say to yourself, why ... am i playing this game! Yet, on second thought, you realise that you can't stop... and that you like it. The fight are simple yet too hard, all you have to do is keep the rythm to do your combo but you can't make the...combo!!! Also, intelligent like you are, you split your team, Gwenevere will protect the town peoples while Arthur will go hunt some barbarians... Slashing time! Can't do the damn combo!! The town's being attacked! Switch to Gwenevere... oh no! no pause to give your orders, damn real-time games!.... I think you get the picture. You've been killed, and now you must restart the mission cause there's no in-game save... but you will start over. You'll not stop until you succeed this mission... then, you'll try the other... just to try it once... nooo... not once! You'll win this one too! Finally, I can't finish this review without saying that the movies are incredible! But beware, if you're a Flanders-like guy or girl, you'll be shocked, cause there's a lot of blood but, that's the way it was in the medieval time and, that's the way I like it!

THE BOTTOM LINE

THE GAME IS GOOD, A STRAIGHT 3 STAR GAME WITH DESENT GRAPHICS GOOD PLAY AND GREAT STORY LINE. But it is missing the ahhh, that a lot of playstation 2 games do have, because your this 1 inch character on the tv screen swinging a sword back and forth calling it a combo. Legion would make an awesome psx one game but not on ps2. So rent it but don't buy it

Could have been better.

It is a great game with lots of potential. I enjoyed it. There are some missions a little harder than others. But all in all it has only taken me a few days to beat it. I would say borrow it or rent it. If you are overseas like me you really have no choice buy it or borrow it, no places to rent. Anyway, enjoy the game I did.
