I really don't like a whole lot of old games here. But this game is still awesome even after so many years. Its the only game like it with a realistic sword movement that has yet to be repeated. I never found it clumsy all the years I been a fan of the game. The quest is linear but awesome to play and play arena online with a friend is a very challenging and fun experience. Most of the characters are completely different. This is a must buy. Every time I show this game to people they all love it. The controls are hard to learn at first because it is something innovative but once you learn what the game is trying to do it is a blast. Too bad more games didnt follow suit to this concept.
I can imagine playing a game like Oblivion or AOC with realistic sword fighting except pressing one button to make a player swing.
