4.0 out of 5 stars
A refreshing change from the dreary turn-based RPG's,
By A Customer
This review is from: Silver (CD-ROM)
Thank God this game came along! After years of everyone getting over-excited about very tedious and frustrating games, someone finally gets it right with Silver. This RPG is the only RPG currently out that claims to have real-time combat which actually IS proper real-time, rather than other titles like Baldur's Gate and Final Fantasy 7 who claim the same thing, but still essentially have turn-based combat. The combat is Silver is wondefully unique, effective, even stress-relieving if you're every annoyed. You can get caught up in it all, and get lost 'in the heat of battle', which is extremely hard to do in the tedious and very unsatisfying turn-based combat. However, whether most people will appreciate this is another thing as RPG's have employed turn-based combat since computer games have been around. It's a bold move on the part of Silver, I think, but a worthwhile one. Dean Evans has also made a truly inspirational soundtrack for this game, and the detailed 2D background artwork is a wonderful triumph over the usual 3D trend nowadays. The game lasts little over ten hours and is quite basically a normal sized game - not as large as something like FF7. But in my opinion, quality overrides quantity. And with better combat, a better soundtrack, better gameplay, and more atmosphere, Silver is the RPG of choice to date. There are plans to release it on the Dreamcast, but this was originally designed for a PC and gameplay with a mouse. Buy it for the PC.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A Extraordinary Fantasy Experience,
By Johnathan Proctor (Goodfellow Air Force Base) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Silver (CD-ROM)
Silver is most certainly one of the best RPG's I have ever come across. It is not perfect, but it was close enough that only four stars would not do it justice. The game is played from the standpoint of David, who is on a quest to rescue his wife from the clutches of the sinister wizzard Silver. To accomplish this end, David must enlist the aid of others in order to obtain several magical orbs in order to gain the power to defeat Silver.The three greatest features of the game are the scenery, music, and sword interface. Scenery and music are both phenominal and are perhaps the best I've seen. If you were a FF VII fan, you will be in love with the visuals and sound. The charcters are a bit cartoonish, but very lifelike. The sword interface is great, allowing you to use your mouse easily to jab, swipe, dodge, and perform a variety of other moves. The only detractor to the game is the voice acting, which is a bit cheesy at times. This however, is the only detractor, and it's not enough to cause any harm to the overall experience. Simply put, this is a phenominal game which provided me with hours of enjoyment. I went back to play again just because I was so enthralled with the scenery, music, and exciting gameplay. Trust me, you'll enjoy it.

Good,
This review is from: Silver (CD-ROM)
Decent graphics and decent gameplay.......the realtime attacking got a bit tedious at times but was innovative so it gets points there. Good basic strong storyline.
