Now it's only fair that I give this review a good overview and that includes talking about the game's weakest feature. The hit-and-miss combat system.

I'd agree with that. The combat is the weakest feature. Click, click, clickety, click but then again, it is a Diablo clone, so gee, you'd have to kind of expect that.

You see, while playing, you kind of have to pay a bit more attention to the little things than what you are used to in an RPG.

The little things like what? He never actually brings up an example which matches this statement.

Characters feel almost uninterested in fighting as it appears they are swinging at thin air. And in some cases they are since combat on horseback raises all sorts of other problems.

What gets me though, is you missed the classic opening line:

You know, there is a lot of competition for your gaming dollar when it comes to RPGs

There is? WHERE!?
