I bought it and I regret it deeply.

Yeah it's not bad, if you like games like Dungeon Master, you will like it enough...although I still prefer DM

Here is something fun: The creator of the best game ever, Eador:Genesis, made a very good dungeon for Legend of Grimrock:

I never ended up finishing it. I got frustrated with the sprint puzzles. Aside from those it was a great game though.

Anyone got any strong opinions on which is better, GR1 or GR 2, Starcrawlers has left me hankering for more :)

It's a good game, it does get repetitive and I thought the end boss/puzzle was pretty damn weird.

If I was recommending the series to someone i'd tell them to skip directly to Legend of Grimrock 2. It's a vast improvement over the first game and you don't really need to play the first one for any story/lore reason.

GR = Grimrock? I'm asking because i'm used to LoG1/2.

Honestly i prefer the first one, the second gets bigger and better but it also gets more complicated since you have more to explore.

Legend of grimrock guide.Is there a guide for the game,character creation and such.i played for a hour and love it.

I think it just depends on what kind of experience you want. The first one has a more claustrophobic, dunegeoncrawl-y feel, since you spend the entire game just going deeper and deeper into the dungeon. The second one still has a lot of dungeon crawling, but you also get to explore a whole island with diverse enviroments. It doesn't quite have that excelent mood as the first one, but the sheer scope and diversity make it more fun and it never feels repetitive.

Btw, is there a good user-made dungeon for LoG that doesn't take that long too complete? Something short but exciting?

This. The first isn't a bad game, but aside from more content, diversity and new features in the second, they also toned down many of the annoying elements of the original Grimrock.

It's all about the laser sound effects, you just can't beat them.

Oh, bother. I wish I'd seen this post before you went and bought it. Amrit donated like 3 copies of it to my giveaway, you could have taken one of them.

*looks closer at own thread*
My mistake, it was LEGENDARY he donated. But sharonbn did have a copy of LoG. Not the second one, though.

lol.
Legendary of Grimrock :P
