    Tags: Hard to be a God

    <a href="http://www.realgamer.co.uk/reviews/Hard_to_be_a_God.html">realgamer.co.uk have a review of Hard to be a God</a>. Here's me using the copy-paste function:
    <br>
    <blockquote>Quests themselves are pretty simple and often require you to kill a certain npc or collect a specific item from one character and take it to another. It’s all classic RPG stuff that we’ve all seen time and time again in many role-playing games and often involves a lot of travelling over the same old ground in order to complete the various tasks before allowing you to move on to the next stage of your journey.
    <br>
    <br>
    As with most RPG’s in Hard to be a God you are often required to venture in to areas where you are less then welcome and the game employs a pretty solid disguise system that allows you to trick your would be enemies into thinking you’re one of them, they will even fight along side you if you are being hunted down by a nasty that maybe lurking in the undergrowth.</blockquote>

    Playing dress-up is fun! But the game apparently, is not.
    <br>
    <blockquote>Sadly this game will struggle to hold its own in the modern gaming world and maybe should have followed in the footsteps in some more recent games rather then those from the classic RPG era.</blockquote>

    More bloom?

    It is not so hard... :roll:
    Do gaming journalists have to study or is it ok to be a drop out? (Despite the hyperbole it is a serious question.)
