All things considered, this is one of the best games to try and merge two genres, and it does so very successfully - despite a few minor flaws that don't detract too much from the gameplay.
If you love multiplayer, have a speedy connection and the horsepower, or if you really enjoy skirmish battles against the CPU, then it's much easier to recommend.
The simplicity with which you get to choose spells and cast them is really amazing, which is really useful as the scenarios represent combat arenas where two or more wizards try to destroy their opponents with spells.
This game had great promise, but wasted it on static gameplay, overwhelming camera angles, time delay between scenarios, and a redundant storyline. All that said, it still is a challenging RPG.
The unevenness of the campaign and awkward interface may prove to be too frustrating for some players. The skirmish mode can be enjoyable, though.
The game does present a lot of action and is sure to entertain gamers for at least a week or two, but in the long term, the game will unlikely enter the classic status of vanilla ice cream.
Spookily enjoyable, throwing enough challenges and new creatures at you to prevent boredom setting in.
