Restricted Area - PC

good game for the price basically what you expect from a bargain bin game - story was interesting and would love to see a restricted area 2 to see what they could do with it

I just could not get into this game. It was horrible! I like where it was going, but the execution left much to be desired.

Cheap older game, but very addictive and a lot to do.

Very good game. Takes awhile to get the right controls. Great Price and terrific graphics. Well worth purchasing.

Ever since the fall of Interplay and the need for companies to make more money by pushing MMOGs (Massive multiplayer online Games like EverCrack and WoW - which are basically hack and slash without much story development) Long gone are the days it seems of the great games like Baulder's Gate, The Fallout Series and the last great RPG with an intriging story line that you can actually controll... Arcanum. The developement of true in-depth addictive and immersive RPGs are pretty much fizzeled out. This game without a doubt is no exception to the rule. If you are a lack-luster individual that finds the repetion of hack-and-slash reminisent of the early days of maze-style games that forced a linear path of play which were fine for the time 16 years ago, then I suppose this would be ok. Obviously a complete copy of Diablo only in (near?) futuristic times - there is no way of completing task alternately, you face the same monsters only with stronger abilities each mind numbing level after level of the same ineviable end. I don't know what else to say - this isn't an RPG... and I havn't seen one for quite a while. It's like most games today that are looking for a quick buck without much developement spent on those that are looking for the true control over your destination game that don't limit the exploritive nature and who thrive on the anticipation of new things or story developement. Nope, this game you know you go down to the next predetermined maze with a bunch of creatures that look and do the same limited things and kill as much as possible only to do the same for the next predetermined maze. I got bored quickly, and around character level 17 I abandoned the game and actually took interest (which is hard for me and I never have done before) in my programing classes... maybe some day I'll be able help create a "true" RPG again.

If you are a Diablo/Diablo 2 fan then you will enjoy this game. While this isn't an excellent game that bests the Diablo dungeon creeper it is fun to play and can help keep you distracted until Diablo 3 comes out. If you did not enjoy the diablo series then there is no chance you will enjoy this game.This game comes across as a diablo 2 mod and incorporates many of the upgrades that the d2 mods introduced. A shared stash, allowing you to share items from one of your characters to another on the same computer, is a welcome addition first introduced in a popular d2 mod.The game is a bit short and I have also found that there are very few item drops from the monsters. I find that a bit odd since there is a dedicated key to pick up every item on the ground at once. I think the key was introduced more as a means to get to items that drop in unreachable areas more than anything else. The items you can equip seem to be a bit contrived and forced (new arms, legs, hearts, eyes, etc. instead of diablo's helmets, armor, shields, etc.) and the same depth of variety present in the diablo series is not as present here.The skill tree is a simple pyramid scheme where you need the skills that are immediately below the desired skill in the pyramid in order to develop what you want. This forces you to invest points in every skill in the game to get the skill that is at the top of the pyramid. The skills do not introduce as much variety as their diablo counterparts and feel as though they are a dumbed down version of what d2 offers. Most skills deal with attack speed, accuracy, increased damage, etc.The few additions I did find to be very good are the inventory optimizer that sorts everything you are holding into the "best fit". Gone are the days where you have to spend several minutes reorganizing inventory items to collect that last weapon before going back to town.I have said diablo a lot in this review. That is because this game is simply diablo with a sci-fi mod that has guns. Not a bad game. There is a demo that has the first mission for you to check out if you are on the fence.Contrary to what one review says the game does have a multiplayer and I have yet to experience serious bugs.
