Now here is something for all you Baldurs Gate : Dark Alliance fans to sink your teeth into while you are waiting for BG : DA 2 to come along.
http://www.danddheroes.com/ddh/
D&D Heroes is available on the Xbox and looks divine. I will be playing this one for sometime with my mates, in the multiplayer co-op mode I am sure.
Okay it is not FR, and it is not really RPG. But I find these games extremely fun when ya come back in after a nice curry, and ya just want to bash a bugbear chieftan in the face with a magical mace+20!
Ahhhhh!

I'm probably showing my age now but I can't help thinking it looks a bit like Gauntlet. The hours I wasted on that game in the arcades ...  |

| Does it have the same type of gamelay and graphics that the PS2 version of Gauntlet had? Wasn't it called Gauntlet: Dark Ages, or something similar? |

| well im not sure abouy gauntlet, but here you take command of four predefined heroes, and go about your business in a console style game. I never played games like Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance, but im guessing it will work in a similar way, being that there is no pause and that is a real time adventure, a bit more akin to hack and slash than we are accustomed to just obeying the D&D rules... |

I guess this will probably never be available for pc. |
Courage isn't the lack of fear but rather believing in and doing what you know is right even though fear is present.

WOW! Played this game for a few hours last night. Highly recommended! The atmosphere and graphical effects are amazing! The gameplay is slightly harder than Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance but is even more enjoyable. The character inventory\feat selection etc. is almost identical to BG:DA. The in-game movies are really well done and add even more atmosphere to the game.
Cool |

| Hmm...I was considering purchasing D&D Heroes, but it struck me as being heavily geared for the younger crowd. Since you seem to enjoy it so much, I may end up checking it out anyway, at least as a rental if nothing else. |

Dont worry about that William.
It is similar with Diablo, just another hack&slash game.
It doesn't contain any role playing factor.
Greyhawk:Temple of Elemental Evil is MUCH better than this game.  |

Heros is a great game though it does have its drawbacks i.e. lack of actual DnD style roleplaying, and no varying type of damage(theres no differance between fire and bludgeoning dmg, u can hit a frost giant with a fire axe and still do as much dmg as if u had used a ice axe, {no matter though all foes fall before me}).
I played the wizard character which is pretty useless unless you have a horde of magika potions, and magic missle maxed out. but once you have that ur set for the game get plate mail (because hey what wizard doesnt wear platemail{theres no penalty}) and a kick ass staff and ur set. i was lvl 28 when i beat the game i think. the game has all sorts of cool monsters and bad guys. i recommend it.
After you beat it youl want to go back in time and kick the shop keeper in the nuts (youll find out what im talkin bout).

RogueAssassin, can you perhaps, provide us with a short listing of the monstrous creatures that are included in the game...or maybe just the general monster types involved?.
