<a href="http://lionheart.blackisle.com">Lionheart</a> picks up an <A href="http://www.gameplanet.co.nz/mag.dyn/Reviews/2585.html">endorsing review</a> from the folks at <A href="http://www.gameplanet.co.nz/">Gameplanet NZ</a> who gave it <b>3/5</b> fists. They said it had a neat gameworld, but feels unfinished and rushed. They also said you should buy it anyway.
<br>
<br>
<blockquote>Overall we feel that Lionheart could have been a classic RPG game and rated highly, however the hurried ending leaves it very much in the mode of an unfinished symphony. Don't get us wrong, it is a game that is worth playing and one that will provide many happy hours of entertaiment for RPG fans - just be prepared to ponder on what might have been.</blockquote>

Any RPG fans out there think there are many happy hours here?

I just like the whole, It's unfinished, you should pay $50 for it right now! theme in that review. It's not, You should wait for the price to come down, it's You should buy it.. If it feels unfinished and all to the reviewer, why the hell should I pay full price for it in his opinion?

Yes it certainly does .

And the best part ?

We did not pay $50 to do it .


Lets all say hooray for Skorpios . Without him defending Lionheart we could not have so many happy fun hours bashing it .
We would just agree that it sucks and then the fun would end prematurely.

What ever happened to old skorp?
The mental image that I have is that he finally snapped,
became a street preacher and is now haranguing people
in the streets of Australian cities about the evils of calling people morons.

No way! I am sure that ol' Skorpy would find something to like and then argue that we should support them and they will do better next time. :roll:

Skorpios, we summon thee, the developers once again need your help, come forth and smite those who think that Reflexive turned out to be a bunch of morons who completely fucked a very promising setting for no good reason.
