3.0 out of 5 stars Very Slow, but can be fun, January 27, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Prince Of Qin (CD-ROM)

I have to agree with most of the reviewers on Amazon.
But keep it in perspective.
I too got the game for free, because my brother didn't want it.
So being bored one day I installed it and began playing with it. The first opening scenes were a bit dated, and I can see how some would say the game/story is cheesy. I also find myself unsure of what to do often, and if you take the wrong road or go to the wrong place, your stuck never to complete the game due to various reasons.

The game can be extremely slow, and if you have a wife (like me) she'll get frustrated at the time you'll spent on this game.

With all this said, the game is fun. Maybe because I like slower games (and some of the older software I still have), but it can be just plain fun.

I love being able to develop a team (5 characters) and making weapons, finding gold, plundering houses and taking weapons from dead bandits (selling goods).
Now all of this may be "old-hat" to some other games, but with the theme and stylistic Chinese atmosphere, it makes it unique and alot of fun.

Be sure to download and/or copy the unofficial stategy guide from the internet. Without it, "you'll wonder the eastern world like a blindman". After I printed out that information, I restarted the game and sped through the game, enjoying the game even more.

Sure this game isn't the groundbreaking software that some newer games are, but for the current price it can be a fun little game (but bring your patience and download or purchase the unofficial strategy guide).

2.0 out of 5 stars Need a Strategy guide, March 2, 2003

This review is from: Prince Of Qin (CD-ROM)

This game I got for free from a friend. It works okay. Sometimes it crashes when its loading between maps. But other than that its alrite. but the game has too much needed knowledge. They don't tell you where you can find things. No survival skills needed. Also i hvae no clue where to find my way and missions. The maps in the game doesn't give you Ideas of where to go. and you get lost easily. Its an okay game but its really not worth its full original cost. Who knows of a Strategy Guide?

5.0 out of 5 stars I just got this and I really like it., November 8, 2002

It's a bit like Diablo when it comes to graphics, but like Warcraft/Baldur's Gate as it's a turned based RPG.
Since I just got the game, I had the time to really explore the entire game, but given time I'll finish it. Hopefully the end is as good as the game itself. I highly recommend it, but be warned, it's not fast paced like other RPG's, you have to talk to EVERYONE, search everywhere, etc. It's a time consuming game, but still fun.
