The Quest For Glory Collection Reviews
| 31 of 31 people found the following review helpful  A part of my childhood I'll never forget, By A Customer This review is from: The Quest For Glory Collection (CD-ROM) This game series has a special place in my heart. I grew up with the Sierra adventure games, and its something I look back on fondly. I enjoy the first person shooters, real-time strategy and dungeon crawl RPGs of today, but there is something about the adventure game format that has been all but forgotten today. It's like reading a good book but being able to interact with the world and have it presented visually like a movie.Quest for Glory was something different though. Far more ambitious on a technical level than the other Sierra games, the series had a certain level of immersiveness to it that made it worth playing over and over, and still sticks with me today long after I last played it. The first obvious improvement over the other Sierra games was the adding of an RPG element. This was advertised as adding replayability to the game, but more importantly it adds a level of immersiveness that you don't see these days. When you start out in QG1, your ultimate goal is...

Even now, I am discovering new aspect of the game.QFG1 is set in a "Germanic" setting, with all the traditional flare of medievalism. Aside from the fact that there is not much point playing a mage character (just give your thief or fighter magic instead), it is a perfect little game. QFG2 is set in an Arabic setting, borrowing heavy from "1001 Nights" to "Casablanca". It's use of text is quaint. Once again, the mage has little to do. QFG3 is a Kenya-like setting. Unlike most reviewers, I liked QFG3 except that it was by far the most linear of the series. Sort of buggy, especially if you play a fighter/paladin, but rather good. QFG4 could feel repetitive, as its Balkan-like setting is not that different from QFG1. All character classes will find things especially for them to do here. However, the game is horribly buggy; the Mad Monk Tomb section...

Ancient by today's standards, they are still worth the time of anyone looking for charming story and characters, good puzzles, a big sense of humor, and even a bit of role-playing. They were made in a time when computer games were not a money-grubbing franchise, but a quirky art form that abounded with love. A bit of a lowdown: your character has statistics, like strength and charm, that determine his ability to perform feats and what paths he can take to overcome challenges. There are three hero classes--fighter, magic user, thief--and the gameplay is different for each choice. Each challenge often has two or three solutions, and the best choice depends on your class as well as your skills. You navigate your character through a world that goes through night and day cycles. You must keep food to eat and water to drink. The more you use a skill, the better you get at it--for... Read more |
