    The game is absolutely recommended, but it really is a shame that the developers didn't get link support in.

    It’s all a vaguely swashbuckling load of fun, with action and strategy thrown in together, but nothing outstanding.

    Although the action sequences are weak, the overall game play experience is loads of fun. [Feb 2003, p.160]

    Jousting is fun, but the game is full of random events that totally sap any actual strategy out of it. Even on easy you will need cheat codes.

    Horrific, no fun or strategy at all. The gamespy review is all the reasons why this game should be given a mega low score rather than a 60. The 'mini games' of sword fighting and jousting are simplist and painfully boring and repetitive yet crucial for success. You would have more fun eating the game cart than playing it.… Expand
