An action/rpg by WESTWOOD (creators of Command and Conquer).

Story: Ok, you�re Jack, some trailer park trash. You�re watching TV as lazy people do and all of a sudden, you get zapped into the world of NOX. Here, you meet this fat guy, I could swear that one could mistake him for a British Navy Captain( No offense Jon). He flies this balloon and takes you around NOX, where you have to stop the horrors of �Hecubah�, the evil bitch of NOX (dominatrix look alike). And the story goes on and on where you have to prevent her mischief. Overall I would give it a 16/20

Graphics: A little better than D2, it�s 2D and when this was made back in �98 the graphics were IN. I like the graphics though don�t lagg (slow down the game play ) your computer as much. 17/20

Sound: Err....sound isn�t good or bad. You really don�t hear it, but the distractions in the game and the voices from the characters make up for it. Oh and try to listen to your conjurer or wizard while they�re casting spells. 18/20

Gameplay: Well, you can choose from three different classes: Warrior, Conjurer, Wizard each with their own spells and abilities. THANK GOD!!�.that it�s not all hack�n�slash. The hotkeys make the game fun. The solo sux ass�the story is okay but once you tasted multiplayer, you�ll see of what I am talking about. K ppl, this is what this �game play� section is about MULTIPLAYER. Now, this is by far the most fast paced game I�ve ever played. Leaves D2 in the dust and it�s not like Counterstrike where you hide the whole game. It�s basically killed or be killed. You have �Quest� where you can partner up with ppl to fight monsters and shit like that but that�s only if you like slow gameplay. Online modes include arenas, ctf�s, eliminations, king of the realms, and flag ball (something like soccer). In the beginning it�s hard�and if you don�t have a new comp or fast modem, you�re screwed. The multiplayer really makes the game valuable. I am docking a point off for the difficulty of online gaming in the beginning. 19/20

Fun: TOTALLY ADDICTIVE�you could play this the whole day and time flies by like hell when you play it. Once again, hotkeys and challenge of multiplayer is awesome. IT'S NOT HACK�N�SLASH!. 20/20

FINAL SCORE: 90/100
