great combat system, but too talky

User Rating: 8 | Game of Thrones X360
Game of Thrones offers many moral choices thoughout the game. How you choose to resolve various dilemmas will determine how the game plays out, and what kind of person you become. I loved the combat system, which was quite innovative. It allows you yo go into a slo-mo mode and choose among the various abilities you have acquired throughout the game. That was what I liked best about the game. Also, a large selection of different weapons to be had. On the downside, the characters tend to drone on and on in the cutscenes. Way too much talk. Thankfully you can right-click quickly though most of these lengthy conversations. There are multiple endings, depentent upon the choices you make throughout the game. I replayed the end to see two different endings, neither of which left a very good taste in my mouth. Perhaps there are other endings which might have been more palateable if I had made different choices earlier. All in all, it was an enjoyable romp through Westeros, with good graphics and animations. A definite buy if you find it at a reasonable price.
