The game loads for a second and then crashes, for everyone. In the first level, after roughly 10 minutes of gameplay, you need to enter Red Fang Keep, and you can’t. The game is completely broken on Xbox, and most likely was on Playstation as well because that version ended up being postponed at the last minute. This game is out now and people are buying it so while I’ve wanted to wait on a promised patch I felt I had to get this review out. Compared to the first game areas can drag on quite a bit, at least in my memory.

I played the heck out of the original release because I didn’t have a gaming PC at the time and couch co-op with my family was king. It may tickle that nostalgia for fans of the original release but at the aforementioned $30 price tag at launch, I doubt it tickles hard enough to justify a purchase. The gameplay is incredibly basic, and it simply does not hold up after all these years.

The Right stick can rotate and control the zoom on the camera and it all feels “fine”. It can either fill up the entire screen or hover on the right side to guide you through things. Five new heroes with new class feats and abilities Left on the d-pad brings up your automap, key for any good action RPG. You can use the left bumper to change your face buttons into mappable spell slots, the right bumper is your block/parry, and your triggers are for energy and health potions. The controls are basic with A being your main attack, B casting spells, Y for jumping, and X used for interactions. The game supports local multiplayer and is very much a console take-on action RPG genre. There is a human Barbarian, drow Monk, Dwarven Rogue, moon-elf Necromancer, and a human cleric to choose from. You’ll start things off by choosing from one of five classes. The textures and resolution are a massive improvement over the original, and load times are practically non-existent.
