Dungeons & Dragons: Daggerdale

[Digitalelf]

Anyone play this yet on Xbox Live?

I've played the trial/demo, and wasn't all that impressed...

Seemed (to me at least) to be Atari rehashing their old D&D Heroes game. I liked Heroes mind you, the first time around. Just would have been nice to get a new D&D video game that was at least somewhat, well, new (especially at 1200 Microsoft Points for the full game)...

Played a bit of the single player, it looks like multi-player is likely where the real fun is... as a whole, it seems a standard D&D dungeon crawl. Combat and beating up monsters is fun, but the rest of it doesn't feel too polished - no voice acting, static image cutscenes, etc. Character customization is rather limited - you get some ability to customize, but only within a few base templates (dwarf cleric, elven rogue, halfling wizard, human fighter).

For only $15, though, I can't complain too much. If they had invested a bit more in it, I think it could have been much more impressive - as it is, though, I suspect I'll still get plenty of hours of fun out of it with my friends to make it worth the price.

Apparently it is not a great game. Will that stop me from paying a measly $15 and hacking up monsters with my friends while we wait for the last D&D player to show up for game? Probably not.

I never played D&D Heroes - but man, did I love the Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance games. I still keep PS2 copies of those to play on my backwards compatible PS3. If Daggerdale is anything like that, I'd consider it - I have some friends who love doing co-op beat em ups, so I'm already getting pressured to pick this up.
