Pool of Radiance Preview

EuroGamer has posted up a preview of Ubi-Soft’s upcoming Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor. The preview is fairly negative on some of the game’s aspects, but does give credit to the excellent graphics:

Spell effects are also glorious thanks to the pyrotechnic particle system, with everything from your common or garden magic missiles and fireballs to the more exciting level eight spells your characters may have mastered by the end of the game looking suitably spectacular. Real-time lighting effects and a full day and night cycle above ground help add to the atmosphere, and when the artists take full advantage of the engine’s abilities the results can be quite impressive.
