10 for gameplay... 6 for storyline etc...Closest thing to a Lord of the Rings battle that I've come across...

As soon as I got on my horse and started trouncing my first wave of random bandits I was hooked. The combat system is probably the most simple and fun experience I've ever had for a game like this. It was very intuitive and made me wonder how other games hadn't used the same techniques of just simply moving from right to left and movements of the mouse to swing various weapons and use your shield via button etc...

You can't just take on entire army's by yourself and eventually will have to train better horse/swordsmen to roll with ya. Take over castles, towns, sell prisoners and lords...

Bad part is the questing is a joke. This game is more of a combat system placed in an open, but very incomplete storyline and world.

After playing for a while the game gets really repetitive. Unfortunately, I don't think there ever was an actual ending and the developers probably wondered who the hell would play the game as much as I did...

If they put a pound of work into this game and maybe added some quests with influences from Oblivion or another well made RPG this game would be unstoppable. I'd also like to see some Braveheart like finishing moves and more blood on the battlefield. Other than that it was an amazing start to what could be one of the greatest games ever. Just need to put in the time and a little more ingenuity.
