Reckoning Xbox 360 reviews

With the head designer from Morrowland and Oblivion making this game, i was looking forward to a similar style game – and was a little disappointed.

This game is more “Fable 2” than oblivion, in all ways. Graphic style and game play – but this is not a bad thing. “Reckoning” is a fun and enjoyable game. not overly difficult or complex, and you will be playing like a pro before the very good tutorial finishes (about 1hr)

Fighting is “fable” like, with two weapon buttons, and using timed button taps to perform different moves (which you learn as you level)

Its reviews from IGN 9/10 and GameSpot 7.5/10 (both have video reviews) sum it up nicely – I give it a solid 8.5.

This game looks like a smash I have yet to play it but if you want an indepth and very detailed review check out YouTube and look for angry joe's review on the kingdoms of amalur. He will tell you every aspect of this game including his overall rating.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is like a breath of fresh air…

After an awesome 180 hours in Tamriel, I was ready to hit some new shores.. and the bright and colourful lands of Amalur were my port of call.

This game has an interesting world, great quests, excellent loot system and some of the best combat this side of Roadhouse.

Some hiccups along the way include some sub-par voice work/lip-sync, side quests are quite boring (stick to main/faction mostly for the best experience) and a few bugs here and there..but not enough to detract from the experience.

If I could give this game a 4 1/2 star rating I would, but since it's a new developer (albeit experienced heads), I will give it the full 5 swinging swords, out of 5.

Huzzah!

I bought this game because I generally like RPG's and after playing Skyrim any RPG is going to have to lift the bar to compete with this. Initially I wasnt too impressed but after playing it for a couple of hours amd finding it quite njoyable. Graphics and gameplay are a lot like Fable (which I enjoyed) and to be honest enjoyment factor for me is what its all about not the science of graphics, interface and plot.. Enjoy the game for what it is and dont try to analyse too much

Having played this for a good while I am super happy & impressed with this game. There isn't anything new or revolutionary in this game but what it has used it has used well & it has concerntrated on making sure everything works & works well.

The Combat is freakin awesome & I find myself looking forward to getting into fights so I can rip out daggers spells & bow & arrow. Its all simple to pick up but differcult to master, my ideal combat if ever there was.

The armour all looks pretty badass as the weapons do & the world is nice & bright if a lil cartoony, like World of Warcraft but in a good way.

I am looking forward to sinking alot of time into Amalur & finding out all the history

I see this game often on here going cheap, and because i am a little stingy brought it one of the times it was at its cheapest. I am glad that i did, The main quest plus throw in a few side quest is easily about 60 hours of gameplay.

There are skills to level up like any other RPG game, it has fast travel too. I've seen reviews saying it doesnt have the most engrossing storyline however i found myself always wanting to be The Good Guy, when given the chance to make a good or bad decision. So i am going to disagree with that statement.

Buy this instead of any of the newer Fables.

Buying this game was easy a combination of reviews and trailer's and my mind was set. Now the game play is great combat is easy and allows for smooth weapon changes e.g From bow to sword. Also the way this games tackles leveling up your character with destinies id quite fresh and new. The quest line with this game is packed probably more so that oblivion or skyrim. Hundreds of side quest map your way throughout the world. However there is indeed a fable element in this game as game play wish I am reminded of fable. Also as with ever game it has drawbacks like the inability to jump other than at predetermined spots, The inventory system is also pretty plain, and sometime big dead enemies can block doorway until you finally bulldoze through. All that said it is a great in depth RPG adventure and if you like fable then I don't see this disappointing anytime soon.

Great game

RPG games are the games I usually play. I've recently finished Skyrim and just finished Dragon Age II. I'm waiting for ME3. I didn't preorder this game because I had a few doubts. I downloaded the demo (1.9GB) last night and I have to say after playing that to its conclusion that I was pretty disappointed. I'm sure the system works. And I'm not knocking the machanics of the game as such. But the interaction with the NPCs and similair is quite bad I'm afraid and this comes from someone who is always positive and willing to put time in to see where it ultimately goes. I can't see myself playing 300 hrs with this kind of interface. I won't be buying this game.

I have now been purchasing from MIGHTYape.com.au for 2 months and everything I purchased was delivered promptly and in excellent brand new & sealed condition! *I especially would like to highly praise one of the MIGHTYape Staff… Her name is Roopa and she rocks!!! I have never received such friendly and excellent assistance from any online store as I have with Roopa… “Thank You” and Kia Ora Roopa & MIGHTYape.com.au

Fable but better that all that need to be said lol

I got it for $44 on daily deal and was so worth it. It has very good combat and good customization features. I would recommend this game.

If you enjoyed the Fable franchise you will enjoy this game.

I played the demo just to see how it will play out, its just like fable, and dragon age, sure the attacks are better but thats it, I personally wouldn't buy it

This is a poor mans skyrim. Reckoning falls over on its most hyped strength its story gameplay is good graphics remind me of ps2 hugely disappointing

Great Game with the look of World of War Craft and the Sense of Skyrim added with a whole lot of action. There are three main classes to choose from Fighter Thief And Mage you can develop these into combination of two or all three. The monster list is huge the spell system easy to use and the amount of loot found in the world is just staggering. Only Negative is it has quite a few glitches but I think these pale in comparison to the overall feel of the game Very pleased with it :-)
