I can't understand why this game is less popular than Skyrim when it is a million times better. Easily my favourite PS3 game ever. I just absolutely love it, Going to be gutted when i've finished it since there won't be a sequel :'(

Excellent & addictive RPG. Loved it!

Simply excellent game, RPG. Great graphics, wonderful gameplay, huge map built or designed with amazing detail. Game is very long when pursued side quests along with main objective, thereby making it worth every penny. Don't have to think, if you want to buy this.

Nowadays, all new triple-A titles are a rare sight, so Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, coming from 38 Studios and Big Huge Games, definitely stands out from the array of sequels or reboots that are arriving on the market.

+Dynamic combat; +Lots of choices and freedom; +Stylized visuals

-Annoying mini-games; -Problematic camera

Single player action meets MMO missions, with surprising results. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (or KAR for the rest of this review) is an interesting proposition, which answers some very fresh questions about RPGs as a genre.

Excellent; intuitive combat; multiple character variations; with simple options to swap for a new build; hundreds of levels; with hours of gameplay; large gameworld with an open approach to levelling; great graphics; with good sound too; hugely immersive world; with plenty to lose yourself in...

Can get repetitive; raid-style dungeons still lack some depth; cartoony style will put some people off; no 3D options; plays better with a controller; which it feels designed for

Who said that epic and expansive fantasy RPGs had to have subpar gameplay? For as much as I absolutely adore games like Fallout 3, Mass Effect 2 and Skyrim, gameplay in those titles simply didn't live up to the amazing standards set by their superb settings, narratives and quest structures.

What do you get when you mix R.A. Salvatore (veteran fantasy author), Todd McFarlane (creator of Spawn), and Ken Rolston (lead designer for Morrowind and Oblivion)? Other than a brainstorming sessions I would kill to sit in on, you get Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, the latest fantasy style RPG.

Films and books such as The Lord of the Rings and Eragon have always left me feeling the desire to do battle in these magical worlds. To one day pick up a sword and take up the quest to save the world.

8th March 2012 - The last action RPG I really got stuck into was Dragon Age 2 and it left me a little disappointed. It was no Dragon Age: Origins, sure the fighting was faster paced and more action orientated but it felt an overall more shallow experience.

Conceptually, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning isn't very original. It's a role-playing game set in a pseudo open world with a rather standard narrative at the center. However, it's not my job to review concepts. My job is to let you know how good the final game is.
