The most interesting part of this game is its graphics. I bought it after reading previous reviews and believing it would in fact be better than the second "chapter" which I found less challenging and less interesting than the first. As I write this, I have finished all three chapters or installments of this game. I also have perhaps a unique perspective, in that I never played Everquest on line. My only experience with any Everquest game is playing the three chapters made for the pocket pc. Techinically the game worked well. I played it on an Ipaq 3955 using a 128Mb SD card (not the 64Mb recommended)and never had a single problem. I was always able to import my characters from one game to the next with out any difficulty, and as I said the graphics were pretty good. The problem was that well before the first game was over it became clear that if one was patient and followed a few simple rules there was no challenge to playing it any more. It simply became a sight seeing trip to see what the rest of the graphics were like. By the end of game three I had more mana and health than I could burn, and was very disappointed that I blew through the final challenge in somewhat under seconds. At the end I had a level 38 Druid (but would have been well over level 40 if I hadn't gone off on "lets see how long it takes to kill me this time" diversions along the way) I could not find any weapons more powerful than the ones I already had, and between the value of the gold I actually had on hand, and the weapons, ports, mana, and health I could have sold back had some where in the neighbourhood of a million of what ever the currency is called. Chapter 4 doesn't need to be bigger and badder. It needs to be different and present some real challenges.

I played the first 2 and found that these games just get better. I have around 15 hours into game 3 on hard setting with a level 30 War, I am having fun and its nice to visit the old lands while im stuck at work. The game runs perfectly. I really enjoy it as I have all 3. I hope there are more to come.

Ok. I know a lot of people are waiting for reviews, so I think after playing for 5 hours I can comment and hopefully sway some minds. First, I have played through most of the first Episode and second episode. Good games, I like them. As a previous player of EQ Dwarf Warrior, I know for a fact how awesome this episode would be before I bought it today since Faydwer is amazing =) In Episode 3, Emodiv kicked the game into gear it seems by making the game a bit more difficult, I am currently at level 19 compared to the max of 12 so don't know what the new max is, but they DEFINETLY raised it =) More quests than the first, graphics are actually a tiny bit better, more monsters (duh, since you got higher levels) and crushbone (orc hideout) is so much like the original EQ zone, its scary. Guys, if you have 20 bucks, spend it on nothing but this game...PERIOD
