The review is incredibly positive, as you can see by this statement:

<blockquote>Divine Divinity is the best RPG I have ever played. Let me just say that now because it is it’s the best thing since sliced dwarves bread. What makes this game a must have, is that it’s so easy to use. Compared to other RPG’s there is very little moving around the place wondering which way to go or what to do or even trying to link up things, which happen ages ago within the game. Divine Divinity has very few faults, those that it those have are hardly faults at all. This is one game I would recommend to anyone no matter what his or her gaming preference may be. Larian deserve a round of applause for making an RPG, which is totally addictive, and the most important of all - fun to play.</blockquote>

Eh.. I would have prefered less combat in the game, but I agree that it is a CRPG worth noting.

I have enjoyed it more than any RPG since Arcanum, but it's not nearly the best. Arcanum is better, as are both Fallouts. If S_P produces that all time list of RPGs he has promised us (hoho), I could probably find several others.

I didn't finish DivDiv. I was convinced I would, but then one of the dungeons turned out to be that bit too long, and my poor little mage is languishing there as we speak. I wouldn't say there was too much combat in general, but the dungeons seemed pretty superfluous.

Actually, in order to rank amongst the highest RPGs, DivDiv would also have had to introduce more complex NPC interaction. I liked there stories and characters, but they always went from A to B. I'd have preferred a few more letters of the alphabet to be drafted for inclusion.

I agree with the review that the transparency of interface was a big plus point.
