Tags: Lionheart: Legacy of the Crusader
<a target=_blank href=http://www.blackisle.com/lionheart>Lionheart</a> has been reviewed by <a target=_blank href=http://www.cdaction.com.pl>CD Action</a>, the biggest Polish gaming magazine. I normally don't mention things like that, but what made it worth mentioning is that they gave it a rating of... <b>5/10</b> (Gameplay 4, Video 7, Audio 5), especially that they're the people who gave NWN a 10! Their impressions from playing the game can already be seen in the first paragraph (I translated some bits of the review):
<br>
<ul>
<br>
Do not believe when they tell you that Richard the Lionhearted after conquering Acre and making peace with Saladin returned (or at least tried) to Engliand. Actually, he embarked on a long crusade against the dragons. However, you should laugh when they tell you that Lionheart is another great RPG by the makers of Fallout. Or even - that it is aa role-playing game at all...</ul>
<br>
<br>
And more on the combat:
<br>
<br>
<ul>After you leave the city walls, role-playing becomes hack and slash, and the only experience points are the ones hiding in the bodies of the enemies. And don't get me wrong - i like also that kind of games and i really look forward to new Dungeon Siege games. Lionheart's hack & slash is of the worst kind: tedious like counting sheep, and irritating like a party behind the wall. It's because the design decisions taken by the makers of this game are simply unacceptable.</ul>
<br>
<br>
The impressions of the reviewer are similar to other reviews of Lionheart, except that it's rare to see a magazine, whose rating system does not begin with 6, nowadays...
<br>
