Great multiplayer game

5 Rating: 5, Useful: 5 / 9

This is a great multiplayer game in the tradition of Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance. I'd like to see more multiplayer role-playing games for PS2. This game combines the right balance of fighting and exploring. A great feature of this game is that players can control more than one character at a time. This adds to the variety of gameplay.

Good multiplayer role play game

Finally another good multiplayer role-playing game in the tradition of Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance. One interesting twist is that a player can take more than one character on an expedition. This feature allows for a great deal of variety in gameplay.

Great Game Powerstone like !

I reminds me of this very amazing game Powerstone for Dreamcast. Barbarians have inherited all the best features of Powerstone. It's fun all the way! A very nice range of characters and gorgeous locations make it an adviceable game.

Had the game for three days now

I think the game just [stinks]. The graphics are ok, but the UNBLOCKABLE combo's turn the game into combo hitting back and forth, back and forth... One on one battles are so repedetive it is absolutely ridiculous. The four player game is kind of entertaining due to the fact that four people are playing. As for the RPG element of the game, it is a really lame story and they just added it in so they could call it an RPG which it really isnt. None of the characters have fighting styles that differ from one or another its all the same. The big brute guys do the same moves as the little wizardy guys, pretty dumb huh? I think titus just made a game that looks good so they could sell it, and of course they knew the game was horrible. I don't even understand how the two people above me could give this game five stars, it was hard enough just to give it 2 stars. The extra star was for the multiplayer mode. I feel I have wasted my 50 bucks buying it. *knocks self on head* If you want a good party game for you and your friends I might suggest renting it, but even then there are better titles out there. For those of you that don't listen to me and buy the game anyways, I would like to see your reviews also!

Great party game!

The only one thing I would ask for out of this game is powerups and weapons to pick up.When you are chosing you character,press R1 to change the appearance/costume.But,no you can't actually choose the appearance such as color,face and stuff,each character just has two different costumes/appearances.Oh,but you can pick up stuff to throw like boxes,stools,thugs(inferior opponents).Then you can use trees,clubs,poles,and un-lit torches for beating your opponent till he/she cries for his/her mommie!

VERY BAD!!

The only good part of this game was the graphics. After 1/2 hour of play, I completely lost interest. No replay value, and a waste of money to buy or rent. The other reviewers must work for the company that made this God-awful game.

this game is a hoot

Why did titus software ruin this game. This game could have had a real plot. This a not an rpg this is a fighting game in which you gain levels for winning a battle. If you want to buy this game wait a year so it will lower down to [$$$} because it is not worth anything more than that. I am 13 and I could have designed this game better. But im not going to blame just Titus and say this game could have done better if someone else made it like THQ or EA. Most companies have been slacking off. I have played so many games that could have been made a different way or had some flaws in them. I think teens my age should be able to make these games. After all we are the ones that play these. Well If you want some Ps2 rpg recommendations I can only think of two: Baulders Gate Dark Alliance( a little short but fun nontheless) and Gauntlet Legends Dark Legacy. Oh and if you want to hear of a good fighting game on Ps2 get Tekken Tag Tournament or you can wait for MK deadly alliance. Well I hope this review helps. ...

not a rpg by any means
