Fighting Fantasy
ASPYR (DS) Rating: 


Though Dungeons & Dragons reigned in the early eighties, Fighting Fantasy was an equally geeky game. Now that pen-and-paper diversion has been successfully transformed into a role-playing game that allows play ers to customize characters and defeat orcs, capturing the spirit of the original.
Rocks: A battery of primary and side quests help you boost your attributes. The weapon and item descriptions are amusing, and the ability to make notes on the map is helpful. The leveling-up and equip systems are very intuitive.
Flops: The puzzle-solving gets a little monotonous. You’re sure to die often in the beginning as the lack of a real tutorial means it takes some time to learn how to fight effectively. A little more storage would be nice.
