Summary: true D&D dice play!
Comment: I played this game very recently--after Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, IceWind Dale, Arcanum, etc. and after getting over the initial discomfort of the yester-year technology, I became totally immersed in it. It took a short time for me to get used to not being able to turn around. The game ranks very high on my list of favorites. I liked it much better than Icewind Dale--which became overly boring. I'm still reluctant to stop playing it eventhough I already beat it and am just roaming around doing nothing. It is role-playing in the truest form, which is almost impossible to find in computer games. You get penalized for backing up from an enemy, you can't just walk a million steps and take a thousand actions and have all day to take your turn. If you're really a role-player it's a must have!
The only negative is that it crashed often (you must save alot)--I was running it on XP with directX9.

Summary: I don't know what the people who liked this game were smoking
Comment: This is literally the worst game I have ever played in my life. And I have played alot of games. I hope the person who made this game is living out a very terrible existance right now. This game is worthy of the bonfire. Onto why this game is the worst thing since the holocaust.
Gameplay(negative infinity)- Let me begin the gameplay review by first saying that the game is impossible to beat. Now onward. There are to few ways to customize your character, not because of the small amount of race and class options, but because any class besides barbarian or fighter is useless as it will not complete the first 5 minutes of the game. You start out in the middle of nowhere in some wood for no apparent reason. After bashing 1 or two random orcs heads in and acquiring a password you enter the level 1 cave or should I say RPG hell. Let me tell you that this game does not have a quicksave feature. Let me compare the first level cave to the first part of baldurs gate so you will understand. Imagine spending the first half of baldurs gate punching super powerful godlike rats that kill you at candelkeep. This my fellow gamers, is the first level cave of Pool of Crap: Ruined Game. Enter the first battle when you enter the cave. Let me start off by saying that you will most likely not survive your first attempt to kill the foes, or the second, or the third, or fourth, etc.
Basiclly this is the worst game ever made, and isnt worth a pile of cow crap. The only fun part of buying this game was when i took it out of the computer and snapped it in half, and proceeded to flush it down the toliet.

Summary: R.P.G. As it should be
Comment: Pool Of Radiance is a perfect Role Playing Game. The users that have problems with it (and like games like Baulders Gate) are click festers. They do not want to think about what to do they just want to click and go. Role Playing games are meant to be turn based so that you can accurately control your party. In real life, and I have been in real life combat, a team does not just rush in and hack away. Each person makes decisions based on what they are confronted with and what the rest of the team is doing. If you just hack away you end up dead. I love to play the dice version of D&D and this is the closest thing I have ever seen to it on a computer. Temple of Elemental Evil is ok. but compared to the graphics of Pool it sucks as well.

Summary: Horrible...do not waste any money on this
Comment: I unfortunately bit and spent the 6 bucks on this, and if I had my way, I would send it back to get it. If you have played Baldur's Gate or Icewind Dale, take my word for it and stay away.
