"Prince of Qin"
Works fine on XP. Great game, but not if you don't like to talk to non-characters. Lots of extra missions and lots of story line. Don't buy unless you like to take your time. Not as good Neverwinter Nights or Dungeon Siege, but for the price a good value. I have put a little over 20hrs on the game. Also you will find that there is no real structure in the game so you kind of wander around a bit. Personally, I like that it seems more realistic and makes it where it doesn't seem like I am playing the same game everyone else is. Story line pretty cheesy and reminds me of a few outdated games, but cheese is good with a glass of wine.

"Need a Strategy guide"
This game I got for free from a friend. It works okay. Sometimes it crashes when its loading between maps. But other than that its alrite. but the game has too much needed knowledge. They don't tell you where you can find things. No survival skills needed. Also i hvae no clue where to find my way and missions. The maps in the game doesn't give you Ideas of where to go. and you get lost easily. Its an okay game but its really not worth its full original cost. Who knows of a Strategy Guide?

"I just got this and I really like it."
It's a bit like Diablo when it comes to graphics, but like Warcraft/Baldur's Gate as it's a turned based RPG.
Since I just got the game, I had the time to really explore the entire game, but given time I'll finish it. Hopefully the end is as good as the game itself. I highly recommend it, but be warned, it's not fast paced like other RPG's, you have to talk to EVERYONE, search everywhere, etc. It's a time consuming game, but still fun.

"Buyer Beware"
I thought the setting sounded like it would make an interesting change from the standard European fantasy world so I downloaded the demo and tried it out. It ran fine on my system, which meets and exceeds the recommended system profile on the retail box, so I bought the full version of the game. Turns out that while the demo runs fine on my system, the full version won't run at all. Strategy First's tech support has largely consisted of telling me to make sure I have all the latest drivers, I do, and to uninstall and reinstall the game, which I have. The game still doesn't work so they've kicked me up to their 2nd tier tech support who haven't bothered to contact me in over a week. Don't buy this game unless you're prepared to return it in the eventuality that it doesn't work on your system.

"Not worth the time or price"
I picked this game up for 2 reasons:
- the Chinese historical theme
- the game's box description claiming to be an ARPG (action role playing game) and reading some reviews reporting it was a combination of Diablo/Balder's Gate
When I first started the game, I watched the opening cinema, accessible only from the start menu and knew that at once that this game was subpar. Usually, the opening sequence of a game is supposed to make you excited or make you want to play the game. Instead, the opening scene told me that the game was going to be a bore and not anywhere close to Diablo. After about 5 minutes into the game, I uninstalled it from my 80GB hard drive. The graphics are reminiscent of old 8 bit Nintendo games, remember Ninja Gaiden? The sounds and especially the spoken dialogs were ultra cheesey. I think the only things that reminded me of Diablo were the mouse controls. I didn't venture much further to pick up any other Diablo'ish factors. It's too bad, I'm a big history buff, especially of ancient Asian timelines, but this game is too boring to swallow. Take a look at a review from a "professional" critic ... before you decide to buy this game.
