Product Description

Product Description
Temple of Elemental Evil challenges you to assemble a team of great warriors to uncover a powerful, sinister force! Years ago, a cult worshipping a demoness brought death and suffering to the people. Their monsters to destroy homes and families, ruining hundreds of lives and taking hundreds more -- until a small group of warriors broke them. Decades later, the monsters and murder have returned. Now you must assemble a team to finish this cult, once and for all.

5.0 out of 5 stars D&D without having to worry about game mechanics., December 12, 2005

By	Christopher Stehno (Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I played D&D for many years off and on... from 1st edition to 3rd and I the original Temple of Elemental Evil was one of my favorite campaigns. This game really captures the spirit of that module and D&D in general. It uses the new rule structure and seamlessly integrates them in such away that they dont interfere with your enjoyment of the game.

This is no blind hack-and-slash... there is a background story and a lot of NPCs you can interact with (and even bring along with your party). You will need to take your time and bring your characters up to each challenge... just like playing the real game.

I highly recommed it... and you can't beat the price!

3.0 out of 5 stars Pleasantly Surprised, May 27, 2008

By	R Goss (Cornfield, IL USA) - See all my reviews

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

Definitely not the greatest roleplaying GAME I've seen for the PC, but it's probably one of the most enjoyable gaming EXPERIENCES I've ever had.

I would strongly recommend it... but only if you're experienced in the pen-and-paper Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 game. Those who haven't played D&D 3.5 will be completely lost when it comes to things like initiative, skill points, and feats. I found myself sitting with the D&D Players Handbook in my lap at some points in time, especially when it came to playing more obscure classes (druids for example).

Anyone that has played the actual D&D modules "The Temple of Elemental Evil" and/or "Return to The Temple of Elemental Evil" will recognize characters such as Terjon of St Cuthbert, Lareth the Beautiful, Jaroo the Druid, Burne's Badgers, and so on.

A warning: this is an older game meant for an older operating system. My 2007 Windows Vista hiccuped when I tried to run it, and it took me hours of frustration to find the right patches. It runs fine with XP, but anyone with Vista should be wary.

Initially getting the hang of the controls and dealing with sometimes frustrating camera angles takes a while to become accustomed to, but don't let that deter you from this game. If you're a D&D fan, you have nothing to lose from picking this title up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't Beat The Price, April 3, 2006

By	Joseph Villapaz (USA) - See all my reviews

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

For the price, you can't lose much by trying this game if you're an RPG fan. However, compared to the Dungeon Siege games, Neverwinter Nights, etc. die-hard fans of the genre might be turned off. The inability to alter your viewing perspective is a real annoyance if you've enjoyed the freedom from playing the aforementioned games. However, those who love customizing their character stats would love it. The graphics are a bit dated as well and not much better than the Sacreds or Diablos, but in the end hardcore RPG fans should be satisfied.
