<A href="http://www.monkeyreview.com/">MonkeyReview</a> has posted up their <A href="http://www.monkeyreview.com/reviews/review.php?num=239">review</a> of <a href="http://www.harbingergame.com">Harbinger</a>, giving it <b>three bananas</b>. There is an interesting tibdit, in one paragraph, the reviewer says <i>there's nothing wrong with the graphics and animation</i> and in the next he says <i>I'm very disappointed in the graphics and animation</i>. Anyway, here's a clip:

<blockquote>All in all, this is a disappointing game. It had the potential to be an innovative and fresh sci-fi RPG. Instead the designers opted for some tried and true methods in design and interface and missed the chance to create a fresh feeling game. If this had come out within 6 months of the release of Diablo, it would have been incredible. Coming out now, it just comes across as dated and out of step with the games available to a discerning gaming market. The graphics and background detail are nice but only reach what is expected of a game now. I think the creators at Silverback were headed in the right direction with this game, but unfortunately settled for the result instead of pushing for excellence.</blockquote>

I don't think six months from <a href="Http://www.blizzard.com">Diablo</a> would have helped. I think it'd show the flaws of the game even more because what Diablo does right would be more fresh in our minds.
