Rating: - buggy and slow as all get out
What a frustration. There must be a patch out there I can't find. This game suffers from such slow game play it is a wonder it was ever released. Did any of the developers actually bother to play there finished product? Maybe so but it was too late to do anything about it by then. You will spend 90% of your time waiting in combat for your turn. Good luck with it.

This is an ok game. I like the fact that I can make my whole party, player by player. the radial menus are ok. the combat is good. I like the turn based type of combat. That way i don't have players just standing there when they are done casting or whatever. Over all I am Happy with my purchase.
Rating: - So Far, It Looks Great !!!
My son recommended this game to me after I got my new computer (HP-dv9000 series laptop); he has been running it just fine on his Alienware machine.
I did notice that some of the music sounded a little strange, but after playing with the configuration for 10 or 15 minutes I got that problem solved. So, so far, the game looks fantastic, and it looks like my kind of game (I'm a big fan of NWN 1 and 2 and all their expansions). As an aside, I also like strategy games such as Galctic Civilizations II and Civilization IV.
I'll play around with this game for a week or so and then add an update to this review after I've had a chance to see how well it "holds up" on my computer. But, honestly, I don't anticipate any problems.
Update: After several days of trying to get ToEE to run on my new computer (which is running Vista) I finally gave up. However, I do have another computer which runs Windows XP so I installed the game there. I'm happy to say that it runs fine on that machine, and I'm enjoying the first chapters of this excellent RPG.
One caveat to the "style" of the game -- this is a serious attempt to recreate a Dungeons and Dragons experience using the computer as DM. Those that haven't played D&D (with the books and the many and varied dice) might not appreciate some of the subtleties of this effort by Atari. Not that playing D&D is an absolute must for enjoying this game; it stands on its own pretty well. But, for those of us who have indeed spent many long nights throwing 20-sided dice, this game will definitely bring back memories. And, the graphics (while not state-of-the-art) are eye-catching, the plot is fun, and some of the conversation is a hoot. Where else can you find so many hours of enjoyment for such a small price?

Rating: - Excellent Intro. Game
Bugs aside, this is a really great way to introduce someone to D&D (without table top).
The game itself is heaps of fun, quirky and interesting enough to keep one entertained (absolutely perfect for procrastinating).
Note about the bugs:
If you're lucky, there will only be a few. You can choose to tolerate them or download a patch. And that can be handled with either the official patch or one provided by Circle of Eight ([...]). I personally recommend the Co8 patches (they fix a lot, and add some new things, if you like).
The game now is cheap enough to not worry about the bugs. If you're a very serious gamer, maybe this is too annoying for you, but if you're casual about your games, then this one is definitely worth the [chance of ] glitches (which, I repeat, can be fixed).
I recommend the overall plot of the game. It's a lovely adventure. It's engaging, and stimulates your imagination, which of course, is more then half the fun.
Check it out, and enjoy!
