role-playing

When I first saw the demo for this game, I saw what I thought to be a game that was going offer something new and different: fmv sequences that made my mouth drop, voice-overs that seemed more interesting than any reading in some old rpg, and great action sequences. Boy, was I mistaken. The fmv sequences were far and few between, and each not being no more than a few seconds long, except the opening scene, mind you. The voice overs turned out to be overdone and melodramatic, being in some annoying british accents that at times could be hard to understand. The gameplay was....well, there isn't any gameplay. The game gave no clues as to how to advance in playing it. I, after two months of playing, got no farther than if I had just turned the game on. The game had absolutely no direction, no clues or even mentions on what I supposed to do next. Your first mission is to find Merlin. Good luck doing that. The game also has all these items I picked up that serve no purpose whatsoever. Of all the items you get, I would guess only about 10 of them you actually need to complete the game. The others are there for no other reason I can discern. But, oh well. I hope no one else buys this game. It is terrible and should have never been made.
