    The graphics are nice (ok), but the story is really boring!

    This is one great example of a game that could have been a lot more than it came out. Let's begin with the good part, the graphics are nice; NOT great, but more than OK ... that is except for a few details, like the ... Read Full Review

    Don't Give Up on This One!

    When I got this game it had some initial graphical conflicts... but I took the time to find out what was causing the problem for me and found a pretty good work-around which you can read about it in the GameSpot discuss... Read Full Review

    another "soft" fantasy RPG for kids or beginners who haven´t played anything better yet.

    to describe drakensang in brief words: the game is weak, mediocore, unambitious. i simply can´t understand how does anyone manage to praise it with best notes. such people either don´t have a taste or enough gaming exper... Read Full Review

    Incoherent. Pretty awful voice acting. Nevertheless kind of addictive. Fun combat.

    A long time ago (1995 ish) I played this game called Realms of Arkania: Shadows over Riva, which was also based on the "Das Schwarze Auge" ruleset and it (and the two previous games in its series) was awesome. Naturally ... Read Full Review

    Takes time to get in to, but it's worth it in the long run. A RPG jewel that do have some minor flaws.

    Well, for starters, I'd have to say that I had close to no expectations at all about this game and the first 30 minutes or so I felt that I would probably not last very long. But, since I'm a student at the Mid-Sweden Un... Read Full Review

    a very good rpg.

    this game is kind of shaky at the beginning but once you start playing it it becomes highly addictive. there are around 12-16 classes to choose from but you cannot customize how your character looks when you choose your ... Read Full Review

    Snail pased questing and frustratingly slow interface ruin this beautifull RPG.

    I am a big fan of RPG's and character building, Drankensang offers a rich and beautifull environment filled with with lots of NPC's items and creatures which is what people expect out of a RPG, also an extensive characte... Read Full Review

    Makes you work for it.

    Overall this is a good game but it will make you sweat alot. Playing games like Fallout 3, Gothic 3, and Oblivion have spoiled me.You just can't go in hacking and slashing, especially towards the end. You have to plan ba... Read Full Review

    An Epic Adventure game that could have been so much more

    First Impressions are one of the most important things in any game. And as far as Drakensang goes the first impression that i got from it was very very poor. For starters the story and the opening movie isn't the greates... Read Full Review
