Champions of Norrath Review

VideoGameCity has tossed up a review of Champions of Norrath, giving the PS2 action RPG an overall score of 9/10. A snippet:

In the end, you cannot help but wonder why recent games like Baldur’s Gate 2 and Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel failed to surpass their heritage and how a game like Champions of Norrath can do that and more. Regardless of how you feel about the MMORPG, if you liked Diablo and Baldur’s Gate then this is surely the game to get. And if you are inching your way into the genre, then Champions is also the best way to start. If the Playstation 2 had any heavy hitters these first two months of 2004, then Champions of Norrath was definitely it and it only goes to show that just because it may not have the reputation in the action genre that BG did, it doesn’t mean it can’t be a much better game, which is everything it turned out to be and more.
