Hehe..unfortunately, my erh, very legal copy of lionheart is a bit messed up. At the end of the installation it says "can't read I/O thingie pixomatic.DLL" Don't what the hell the prob is; i think the cd, but then i got anoo-ther cd2 and got the same thing.

It's out now? I haven't seen it.... I might go and have a look around...

Well coupla things about the game.

Companion AI: I think the expression "Dumb as an ox!" gets a new meaning.

Theres some critical error with saves, need to do lotsa backup saves otherwise just quicksaving will end you up with a game you cannot load.

Otherwise, pretty decent game.

Oh and it is very combat oriented, like all the time your bashing someones head in

Yeah, i've heard a lot of ppl at the interplay forums (i think) say it's rather crappy. Guess much players (including me) have been spoiled by BG2.

Oh sorry i forgot one very bad thing, Pathfinding is total bullsh*t. Most of the time the game considers droped items like blue/red spirit orbs, swords, any kind of loot droped by monster as solid items which you cant walk over instead you go around them and usually this causes the attention of unwanted number of enemies which usually ends up in loading coz at some point fighting three enemies at a time becomes impossible.

Also alot of things in the game have no point. Theres alot of interesting ideas that could have been brought in but have been left out. I see they've put great haste into completeing the game which unfortunately leaves the game rather dull and single minded. Bash bash bash kill kill kill.

Better luck next time...

Yea..... I've been reading around various reviews and message boards, and people seem to either love it or hate it. I might hold off buying it until it drops in price.

This guy at Gamespy hates it: http://www.gamespy.com/reviews/august03/lionheartpc/
