Summary: The Continuation of the best Saga
Review: I dont know about every one else who is reading this, but when I started reading the WHEEL OF TIME novels back in 1992, I got pulled into one of the best fantasy worlds I have ever read. I have been currently reading over and over again the mind boggling series that keeps me enchanted every time I read it. The one thing that I do not like is how such a wonderful writer can keep every one going like he hasand then not come out with anything for 2 more years. I am like every one else i have ever talked to, I want to know what is going to happen to Rand now that he has cleansed Saidin. Is he going to get over the sickness that has started to take him? Is there going to be a big battle that Elayne has to stop? And just who are her attackers? These are just a few of the Q's I have concerning the series. I would also like to know when the next book is coming out, or if there is even going to be a next book. Well I've spoken my piece about all of this. I hope mabey some Q's will get awnsered.

Summary: What a piece of garbage.
Review: This game utterly failed in the market for good reason. The graphics and sound are fine, but the gameplay completely sucks. Basically, there are three aspects of it that monopolize the entire Wheel of Time gaming experience:

1) Trying to select the right spell you want, by spinning your mousewheel or tapping a key over and over like a moron, usually while in combat and under fire. The game has 39 spells btw. Let me type that again: 39. You do the math on how much fun this is.

2) A maze/movement type puzzle around every corner. EVERY. CORNER. Take a step, hit a wall and try to figure out what inane "puzzle" the game designers had in mind for you to advance another few feet. Take another step, repeat. And repeat. And repeat. And repeat. The entire game is like this.

3) Dying. Your character is very weak, your strong weapons injure you about 80% of the time, and the enemies are very strong, both to kill and in their attacks. You will die. And die. And die. And die. In between every fun map puzzle, you can look forward to dying one or two times, sometimes several. Your save/load fingers will at least get a workout, if your shooter skillz don't.

I got this for a just a few bucks, and I feel cheated, more for my time and frustration levels trying to "play" it then anything else. I feel sorry for anyone who bought it when it first came out, expecting a good gaming experience to go with the WOT license. My two cents: this game is complete crap. Don't even waste the wear on your hard drive installing it, let alone any money buying it or time playing it.

Summary: Cool but Ive seen better
Review: I agree with contacting "squaresoft" because the maker of this game just doesn't match squares experience.(although the game is still really good)I played my friends game (He let me use it so I had time beat it) but I can't find the darn game for myself.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An incredible game!!
Review: I am apalled at some of the negative reviews on this game. It combines spectacular graphics(It was built on the Unreal engine, so what else would you expect?) and a totally engrossing storyline. If you have a good top end graphics card that supports Direct 3d, then you are in for a spectacular journey in this game. The direct 3D mode of this game is absolutely breathtaking especially in certain levels. I have experienced no sluggishness at all with my Riva Tnt 2 Pro video card(a top end video card that is excellent). However those who choose to use the low end cards like the entire Voodoo series(the yugos of computer video cards), will not enjoy this or any other game because of all the sluggishness those cards produce frequently. I fully recommend this game to anyone who like me has waited for a a perfect blend of Role playing and fps games. The playabilty of this game is wonderful and it is a fun, challenging game as well. Enjoy!

Summary: Wheel of Time ROCKS!!!!!!
Review: This is one game that I do like. I dont like many games because of all the things you have to remember on the keyboard but this game you only use your arrow keys and mouse to move. There are 3 levels you can play easy medium and hard. I choose the easy and I'm having a great time even though easy for me is hard. This game is long. Not that quick run through game but a nice long game with well played movies through the game. The graphics are great! For this price this game is worth it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not like the books, but good enough
Review: The graphics are great. If you've read the books then you'll love walking the Ways, Shadar Logoth, and the White Tower.

The Fades are excellent in this. Everything in the WoT series is represented very well in the game, that which is represented anyway.

My complaints are these...

1.)You have no Warder 2.)You can't channel the True Source without help from an Angreal 3.)I had problems running this game on my DVD-ROM....I had to use my CD-RW drive instead...weird?

Lots of fun....wish it was an RPG...or online RPG!!!

Summary: Insanely Addictive!!
Review: This game rocks! It has kept me up many nights- the multi-player portion is the best I've ever played

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fact or Fiction?!
Review: respectively, this game fits the requirements to fit a gamer/nerds needs. This game combinds fantasy novels with 1st person shooting mode. If you are bored and don't have lots of friends, then this is your game.I'm not a loser but i had a gift certificate to amazon so why not? Thank You?

Summary: oh my.....
Review: I have read lots about this game. Looked endlessly for it the various software/retail outlets I have frequented in several major cities. After much looking around I finally ordered from here. As I was eagerly anticipating the arrival of the game, I immediately opened and loaded it onto my hard drive. Graphics--A, very nice actually, coming from Diablo/Hellfire/Diablo 2, a nice step up. Tutorial--very helpful, interface different from what I am used to but not difficult at all. Gameplay--absolute garbage. Extremely linear "quest" system, with frequent dying, and frustration of not finding where to go and there being only ONE way to do things. Char you play is so weak that the challenge is to save early enough so as to be able to attempt play before being completely annilated, again. Once you progress through a few of these "quests", you get the idea that you should find items in a certain order so as to deal with the various "challenges" you face, i.e. frequent death. Read any of the web sites/forums dedicated to this game and you will find frequent "hey I am stuck" posts asking for help. I have wiped this garbage off my hard drive and I am extremely disappointed that I had to pay for this kind of "game" experience.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Irresistable, a gamer's dream come true!
Review: Wheel of Time is THE best game i have ever seen. Loaded with stunning Unreal graphics this game really kicks. Single player is filled with brialliant life like levels, the multi player is an exiting addition with citadel and arena! There is always a challenge and you never get bored! You are constantly interacting with differnt players in deffernt servers all across the world. Robert Jordsn's world has been brought to life. A Must-Get-Game for wheel of time fans and gamers alike!
