Gorgeous artwork, True-3D terrain, and real-time lighting effects

This is a stunningly beautiful game. Walk your character up a True-3D hill and watch them labor, on their way back down watch as they speed up with enthusiasm for the fight ahead (okay so its just gravity). Track the shadows cast by the trees as the sun rises and sets. Head for the town for a real treat as you marvel at the pre-rendered screens.

Animated characters dynamically display their acquired weapons and armor

Equip that cool new helm and watch as your character changes right before your eyes. Get decked out in the best that the town store has to offer and you'll be rewarded as your character becomes such an incredibly imposing figure that the enemies run away in fear (dramatic license taken�please don't expect any fear from these deadly beasts and barbarians).

5 spheres of magic offer many unique spells and special effects

Spell effects are nice, spell effects are cool, spell effects can save your behind in a pinch. Choose Air, Wind, Earth, Fire, or Spirit as your specialty. This will help determine what kinds of spells you cast well and which ones you might not want to depend on when your life is on the line.

Excellent AI responds to the experience and capabilities of your character

Those you will face in battle want you dead in a bad way. You'll need foresight, good strategic planning, and an attitude to beat down these baddies. They will come after you with all they've got and kick your butt if your not careful.
