Critic Reviews

83 GameSpot
This game takes some of the best elements of several Blizzard games and recombines them into an excellently designed, albeit generic, adventure.
80 AceGamez
With an awesome array of characters to choose from and a lot of controls and commands (seemingly) to learn at the beginning, The Roots: Gates Of Chaos feels overwhelming. It is in no way a short-lived experience; you can easily rack up 60 hours of gameplay, levelling ever upwards in a seemingly endless world of magic, beasts and fantasy action.
60 Armchair Empire
A good effort and offers some depth and since it’s really the only titles in its genre – action RPG – it’s a good choice if you like the genre and only have an N-Gage. And if you don’t mind the graphics.
40 GameSpy
It takes a lot more than some button-mashing and a decent hub village to make a good game. There is next to no polish on any aspect of The Roots.
