I picked it up from GameStop (and activated on Steam) when it was $10 a few months back. Fantastic game! Absolutely worth the $5.

I put over 40 hours on it with a few pals and really, really enjoyed the experience. Been thinking about replaying it but D3 has been getting all the attention.

Is it single-system Co-op or internet-only Co-op?

 

[Corporate Thug]

Good game esp at $5.

Is it single-system Co-op or internet-only Co-op?

It's up to 3 player co-op (3 classes to chose from).

If you're playing solo, the NPC's (bots) will fill in the other classes during the story.

If it activates on Steam then yes.

$20 now. Considerably less hot of a deal at that price.

Occasional lag on the rainy town/village ....don't remember what it's called. That's pretty much it, though.

I think since the developers/designers dropped the support so quickly from the title it didn't get the finesse that other games have with a steady patch stream.

I'm on a 3.5 PII Quad, 8GB DDR3 and Raid0 SSD's with a 6770 currently (1980x1200) for reference.

Was thinking about buying this a few days ago, but isn't the game a bit choppy and awkward? Gameplay didn't seem smooth. Or is it just me?

I put 40+ hours on it with a few friends, and the cut-scenes needed work - but the gameplay itself is very good (to me at least) if you like that hack/slash/loot type system. The graphics aren't bad at all...

 

[soccerballtux]

it's smooth 60fps on my 670 except for once a second hitching. Pretty ugly.

Game is built pretty specifically for co-op, and does a pretty amazing job with it. Otherwise if you're not going to play through with at least one friend (if not 2 as intended) then its an average experience at best and not necessarily worth it unless you're a diehard LoTR fan.

I remember playing this game when it came out shortly before Skyrim and it truly made me yearn for a proper co-op mode for an Elder Scrolls game.

Thanks might have to pick it up for that price.

My wife and I loved playing Dungeons and Dragons Heroes and Gauntlet on the Xbox years ago. Can you play 2 person co-op on the same computer using gamepads? Are gamepads adequate for this game or does it play better on a keyboard and mouse?

Thanks.

Yep, $3.75 with the code posted above. I jumped on it, thanks OP (even though it's an old post ).

I haven't been able to change the title under advanced edit LOL (It's not sticking.) I posted in forum issues about it... hope to change soon.

EDIT: Dead again LOL

If that won't work let it die here and open the thread in the games section? It is a good sale, can't last for much longer.
