Temple of Elemental Evil (PC) review

My review of Greyhawk Adventures: Temple of Elemental Evil is up at GameSpy.com today. You can read the review for the details, but in general I thought it was a worthwhile romp. I’d recommend it to you since I know you enjoy romps of the good varieity. Just a few problems with storytelling (there wasn’t much), interface (it sucked more often than not), and bugs (broken AI). All of that was made up for by the facts that it’s a deep, complex, and fun game.
There’s also this ForumPlanet thread discussing the review, though it seems most people are interested in discussing GameSpy.com’s new review system.
While we’re on the topic, I prefer the 5-star system to the 100% system. It’s easier to understand and you don’t have to mess with small gradations in scores. The only problem is that most games are going to end up in the 4-star range. MARK MY WORDS.
The thing I actually dislike about GameSpy’s new system has nothing to do with the scores. I don’t like the new page layout. Sorry to any Spyguys (or gals) that may be reading, but the new review and preview pages are too cluttered with stuff I’m not interested in. I want the game basics, teh score, and the review. With ads enabled, you have to scroll a whole page length before you get a complete sentence of the actual review. What ever happened to simplicity of design?
Ah well.
