Summary: Beautiful game!
Review: This game takes the unreal engine to new heights with pure beauty. It loosely follows the rules of Robert Jordan's series though the gameplay and fun more than make up for a few missing points. This is a must have for any fan of the series just for the enjoyment of bringing it to life and giving a person the chance to live in the world a bit and kill a few things.

Summary: A good game that could have been great...
Review: Let me start out by saying that I have never read any of the books, so I didn't have any expectations. The cutscenes do a fairly good job of explaining things to the "uninitiated," and I quickly found myself being drawn into the story. This game moves along very quickly and is unbelievably fun to play, despite being a bit short. Although I listed quite a few negative points, they are all relatively minor.The pros: Indoor areas are absolutely gorgeous (rivals even Q3A), quality cinematics and music, all the spells are useful and have nifty effects, very challenging (a plus for us "elite gamers" :P) The cons: Spell selection is cumbersome (an option to bind keys to spells would have been nice), too few character models, Direct3D is sluggish, multiplayer is laggy (even on a 100Mbps switched LAN! ) Bottom line: A sound buy for adventure game fans, although hardcore Robert Jordan fans will likely be disappointed. With a little tweaking to the Direct3D and multiplayer code, this game could easily have been 5 stars.

Summary: Don't...just don't...
Review: I started to read the Wheel of Time series before buying this game. After the first book, I went out and bought this from Gamestop I think and wish I wouldn't have spent the [money] on it. The only good thing I can say are the cinematics, which try to tell a good story. The only problem is that none of it seems to fit right in the WoT world. Whitecloaks using ter`angreal, attacks on the White Tower, ter`angreal being able to lose their charge... As a game, it's maybe a bit better, until you try to hit the god-forsaken multiplayer section. The bloody multiplayer server setup is so complicated, I have yet to get it to run server and client at the same time. If you want a good story, get another Wheel of Time book. If you want a good game, get Unreal Tournament or NeverWinter Nights. ...

Summary: The Game Wouldn't Even Install
Review: I own a Compaq desktop, model 5686, & a HP Pavillion laptop, model ze5170. Both have Windows XP. I tried installing the game from 3 different CD Rom drives, 1 of which was my CD burner and the other a DVD/CD drive. None of them worked. The disk kept getting stuck on the Maps/Mission_10.wot file. I may have just gotten a dud, but I wouldn't try buying this game again unless I knew for sure that it worked on at least one computer that I own.
