I have to admit I have never played the pen and paper version of D&D, but be that as it may, I still found this game to be a very enjoyable, humorous, exciting and interesting RPG adventure.  I have been playing RPG games for a long time now, and I can say that this game hands down is in the top ten I have ever played.  And if you get the expansion pack that is also available, it will be even better!
