Shockingly good review for such a small channel! I loved this game when I was in college. A friend of mine was a huge fan of RA Salvatore so we both got it to play. As someone who was studying music and now teaches, I was also a big fan of the soundtrack. Don't remember it being covered up by other gameplay sounds when I was younger, but nostalgia can be deceiving. The review is spot on though. The combat was the best part. Surprised you didn't mention anything about the planned mmo that was to follow if they company hadn't gone bankrupt. The quest system in particular plays out much more like an mmo than other rpgs of the time.
Thank you for taking the time to comment. I wish I talked about that MMO in this video. Kingdoms of Amalur feels like an MMO despite being exclusively single-player, and the main reason for that was the experience 38 Studios had garnered from working on Project Copernicus. I really wish 38 Studios stayed open, or at least someone would take an interest in the IP again. There is a lot of untapped potential.

I enjoyed this game when it came out
