 Fun to play, But alot better with multi player December 14, 2007
Jake (Dubuque, IA)
With out a doubt, this is a great x-box game. I know that a lot of people say it's "boring" or "to easy", And yea i agree it is a little easy, but why don't you just turn the difficulty on hard in the pause menu. I'm sure that will make it a little more challenging.
Second, This is a very loooooonnnnnngggggg game. But when you think about it. Those are the games you like. i don't know about everybody else, but for me, as soon as you beat it, you don't feel like playing it anymore. This game for some reason i don't mind playing over. And when you play with four people you get almost three times the amount of gold out of chests than just one.
Overall, i think this is going to be a classic game, especially to play with your friends, and i would recommend it to anybody who like these type of games.
a good team-playing game November 5, 2007

If you've played Baldur's Gate before, then *Dungeons & Dragons: Heroes* will be a piece of cake for you. In fact, I found it to be a bit too easy, especially when battling the "bosses" for each level.
Nonetheless, team-playing is always fun with destroying the enemies, collecting coins, weapons and rewards, discussing strategies with your teammates and the like. The best part is solving the riddle or looking for sacred items in order to advance to the other side or the next level.
I was the rogue which I accidently chose because I wanted to be the wizard. So, that meant I had to battle with a bow and arrows and an array of swords (cutlass, kris, etc.) My teammate was a fighter that has this awesome "war cry" that, when used, paralyzes enemies in their place for a few seconds. This gave us the opportunity to destroy them before the spell fades away.
Overall, it was a fun game! Now, I just need to go to the bathroom and put on a band-aid on my raw thumbs. Played this game over the weekend until we finished it!
 Nothing Special,.......Believe Me !!!!!!!!!!! November 19, 2005

Hey, if you love Dungeons and Dragons or classic Gaunlet/Diablo RPG styled games and such,.... but overall this game is very bland and somewhat boring!!! There is no innovation or nothing special that will have you saying hey this game is freaken' awesome man.... yeah!!! "Dungeons and Dragons: Heroes" is a complete clone of "Balder's Gate" similar in so many ways,.... it's actually kind of scary!!!
Yes, it was fun for a little while playing around with the 4 player co-op, which was a blast and even along withthe vast weapon and magic combos.... which gave you and your character a lot of options, when leveling up and such,..... beyond that there isn't much else to say. The level design is bland; the combat get's repetive, the graphics are choppy, and the game is overall a breeze; with maybe the exception of finding all 20 soul shards that will power up your weapons and abilites and such. The most annoying thing of all being the classic barrel/box smashing,.... hello were in the 21th century,.... be free to be more creative!!!
Besides, the flaws though the game can be fun, like the boss battles are farily fun, but it was a game I played for awhile,.... left sitting there for about a year and a half and ended up really getting into it, though the game was barely a challenge to a gamer of my level easily beating the game less than 15 hours flat, combinding all the time I actually put into the game. It is a very solid game,.... but the camera pissed me off zooming in and out at will give me a break. You do though get a bunch of Character options throughout the game. You get to choose between:
-a Fighter(Human): Built on strength/brute force and along with deffense, many physical attack combos: sweet finishing moves: ~ Assec. Weapon Sword
-a Cleric(Dwarf): Built on Wisdom and Charma, vast spell and weapon combos make this character interesting ~ Assec Weapon: Hammer
-a Wizard(Elf) Based around Intellegence and Magicial spells, and some other neat tricks ~ Assec. Weapon: Staff;
-a Rogue(Half link/ hobbit like creature) Based around Dexlerity and Technique, very small with a nice seat of daggers for serious death dealing ~ Assec Weapon (s): Daggers
Each character is unique, with customizeable inventories attack combos, spell, magic, weapons armor, and anything that you would typically find in any basic RPG or Dungeons and Dragons board game!!! Best played together: it's painfully boring at times playing alone. The only thing that makes this game shine is the 4 player co-op and the D&D liscence, .... people give this game too much credit!!! Hey, in my opinion the orginal Dungeons and Dragons game blows this out of the water,.... and hey what's even the point of buying this with the new Dungeons and Dragons: Online game coming out for the PC, along with other games like Warcraft which are 100 times better than this. You also have new RPG's out like Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Fable, and so many others which are way better than this!!!
I mean heck, if you want to blow $50 hard earned on medicore material while, you could get Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic for about $20 bucks be free to it's a free country. Hey, I guess if you love RPG's or D&D you might find a lot of enjoyment,.... but this game is par in my opinion, no more....no less!!! I do think they could have had better quests as well,... for example the side quests were all stupid... and frankly pointless!!! Along with barrel/box smashing action and open treasure chest opening hunting for gold!!! It gets old after awhile,.... game developers try something new!!!
Overall, the game recieves a 3/5, no masterpiece,.... but still it does remind alot like Galunet.... and the co-op was fun as well, there is so much this game could have been better at!!!
Overall Great Game......Especially 4 player co-op!!!!!!!!!! July 31, 2005

Dungeons and Dragons: Heroes ...... can be darn fun, the highlight being the 4 player co-op which makes this game different from most of the other games on the market!!! Well, it's the same old, same old, with the Gaunlet/ Dialbo feel and the Balder's Gate look!!!
The game isn't perfect either.....!!! Don't get me wrong it is a great game but, nothing special, well except for the 4 player co-op which keeps this game fun!!! I will admit the environmets were vast and unique, along with plot twists, nice weapon/magic combinations, side quests, and boss battles, along with the search for the for the 20 soul shards!!! The soul shards basicaly power up your weapon, for each 5 your main weapon powers up to a new level!!!
Yeah, Yeah but if you play straight through the game you could beat anywhere from 10-14 hours!!! The boss battles are fairly easy, and the game is pretty easy, the only challenging part would be finding all the soul shards... which actually wasn't hard either!!! The camera gets on my nerves at times, and the gameplay gets bland and repetive after awhile!!! Their may be vast power up options and so-on, like I said it's the same stuff from most RPG's!!! The only two things that make this game stand out from the rest is the: Dunegons and Dragons name and .... of course the co-op!!! You choose from the: Fighter/Human, Cleric/Dwarf, Wizard/Elf, and the Rogue/Halfling... all 4 heroes who defeated the evil wizard Kaiden, now 150 later they are called upon again to save Baele from the ressurected and very much still evil Kaiden!!! Nice, story.....huh!!!!
Yes,Dungeons and Dragons is fun, in fact a must have for any fan, but it could have been better!!! Just look at new next gen RPG's like: Fable, Star Wars: KOTOR, Star Wars: KOTOR 2, and Jade Empire!!! Although, D&D has the co-op and classic feel, it can't compare to the games listed above!!! Maybe back in 99' or 00' this would have been a great, and new innovative game, but being a good game, in an industry filled with awesome games it will be over looked!!!
Pro:
-Great news for Dunegons and Dragons fans
-4 player co-op
-Nice Magic and Fighting combinations
-Nice Environments
-Lot's of cool enemies
-A lot of player options
- When Gaunlet meets Balder's Gate
- Great Concept
- Classic RPG feel!!!
Cons:
-Nothing original
-Bad camera
-Not as fun in single player mode
-Gets old after awhile
-Falls short of expetations, graphic wise!!!
-Sometimes Freezes Up!!!
-Gosh, just like mostly any other RPG, not innovative!!!
As you can see this game has a lot of faults along with a lot of good features, but the 4 player co-op, game play variety, along with the vast environments make you forget about most of the faults!!! Overall, I suggest you at least rent it, if not buy it great game 4/5 stars!!!
Great multiplayer June 6, 2005

The main reason I buy console games is for the multiplayer option. If I want a single player game I buy it for my pc. This game is a fun hack & slash game. If you are looking for a complicated game with a wide variety of level ups this game isnt the game for you.
It does include the very basics for for an rpg, and an story line that you have to adhere to strictly whuch is very similiar to baldurs gate for the console. This game is worth buying because of the multiplayer option with up to 4 players co-op.
This game is very addictive and found myself staying up to the late hours of night playing it with my friends.
This is a good game if your looking for something to play with your friends, but if your looking for a good multiplayer rpg your better off with the morrowind series or the baldur gate games for the computer
