Title: Unplayable
Product review: Pool of Radiance had one of those glittery presences on the internet, where everyone noticed and talked about it, but no one really thought too much about its potential problems. I bought the game unaware of how many problems there were. I quickly discovered all of them, and here are three.1) The combat system is rigidly turn-based with little or no complexity to add excitement. (zombie hacks, paladin hacks= noise).2) As with any true rpg fan, story comes first and foremost. POR simply had none. Perhaps a think tank of CPA's came up with this tedious dungeon crawl. I don't know.3) There were far too many bugs in the system, and I experienced three crashes in the first couple of hours of game-play.If you have extra money to spend, go buy BGII or DEUS EX. Or if you really want a fast paced dungeon crawl, buy Icewind Dale. POR without the pretension.
