2.0 out of 5 stars Hit monster, steal stuff, repeat., 3 April 2006
For anyone who has played the previous Champions of Norrath, or it's Baldur's Gate cousins, the sequel, Return to Arms, is very familiar ground. Very very familiar ground! For everyone else this game's basic premise is the acquisition of money, weapons and experience by exploring dungeons and smacking up the hapless mooks within. It's incredibly repetitive but also addictively compulsive. Once you're hooked on the process of obtaining ever increasing rewards you'll soon find that you are enjoying yourself despite the one tone gameplay.
The problem is that despite being the sort of anally retentive gamer who likes to collect every last gold coin I found myself growing bored of this game incredibly quickly. Most sequels are lazily produced affairs but RTA takes the biscuit. With recycled environments, characters and NPCS you'd be hard pressed to spot the differance between this and its predecessor. There are two new player classes to try out, namely the frenzied Vah Shir (catman) Berserker and the devious Iksar (lizardman) Shaman. The other classes have received new advances and there are supposedly new weapons but it all stinks of a rushed job. The biggest casualty though has to be the plot. The original game's story was wafer thin but after hours of playing RTA I am still none the wiser as to what my motivation is other than becoming the vaguely defined Champion of Norrath. It's hard to push yourself to trawl through yet another uninspired level without at least a semblence of a goal.
It's not all bad though. The statistics behind the scenes that run the show are all well balanced and the option of 4 player multiplayer and online play makes for hectic fun with your mates but in a genre which is supposed to be based on the boundaries of the imagination this game shows just how bland RPGs have gotten in recent years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great RPG, 21 Feb 2006
this is without dought one of the best RPG's i have ever played or purchased the graphics are good though could do with a slight improvement, the controls are easy to grasp, the gameplay is good though more interaction of your champion through speech would be good and now the best part lastability i have had this game for 3 months now and still havent finished it on the first difficulty level its a challenge and will hook your from the start unless u get stuck but its all good on this game the characters are good but what i dont understand is that with such characters such as teh wood-elf and dark-elf only the female know jow to speak properly random but oh well back to the characters all of them are good depends on you yourself (the game player) on what you choose all in all a great game which will last for ages keep you interested and is a good bit of fun with your mates in 4 player mode!

2.0 out of 5 stars Balder's Gate's Twin (again), 21 Jul 2005
Although Champions of Norrath - return to arms has a different title it is almost an exact replica of Snowblind's earlier projects Balder's gate I and II, and champions of norrath.

the game mostly consists of(like it's predecesers)hacking/slashing/bashing/looting. When I first kicked up the game, i did not realise that the game was developed by the guys behind balders gate but after five minutes into the game the evidence is clear. Nearly matching controls, identical enemies, and just exactly the same game engine from their earlier games.

But the game does have small but apparant differences. Character selection ahs been improved with new titles apart from your mage, fighter and bowman. You know get necromancers, shamans, and barbarians. This introduction brings a slight variation in gameplay that does seem to last throughout the whole game.

the gameplay itself is rather mixed to be called great. Enemies are generally too easy, while the bosses sometimes give the impresssion of being impossible. Also items have a random appearance rate. one level you could have an axe that completley clears the floor with enemies while you may not find another stronger weapon for three or four levels. this can be quite frustrating.

While the games predecesers had always had a poor story, this one takes it one step too far. You are told to retrieve 12 shards so that you can prevent/ensure that the dark lord can come back into reign. but the game actually dosen't say why you would want to. And while the game is not one long seamless story (as it is broken into many different levels) you begin to find a frustrating level of repitition.

Apart from the game's obvious flaws, if you like your hack 'n' slashing than this game will entertain you upto a certain level. I admit the graphics are good, and the depth of the game is acceptable but you do contiunely feel that you ahve bought balder's gate all over again

They claim this game has over '100 hours' of play, 'per character'. The idea of someone playing a rehashed game such as this for over 600 hours is ludicrous. Read more
