Hard-line RPGers might feel a little cheated but they can still find plenty of enjoyment here. I couldn't wait to get into this game. The plot was good, but it need not have been attached in anyway to the novels to have been playable. The game should have been more geared towards the novels. That aside, it's a great adventure game.
Graphics are good, interface is fine, though a bit tedious in some instances, and sound is superb.
This is no RPG however. It's and adventure game game, It's predecessor ,Betrayal at Krondor was more true to the RPG genre and Return is a short game by comparison. But if you want a fun game, and don't want to spend days playing a hardcore RPG like Baldur's Gate, then Return To Krondor is for you.
