If you like hack-n-slashers like Diablo and its ilk, you'll probably be impressed with Champions of Norrath. While many of the classes match up pretty similarly to those in Diablo, with clerics matching up to paladin's pretty much point for point. The multiplayer aspect is a lot of fun, and the upgradable inventory size is an interesting way to deal with capacity issues present in most action-rpgs.
the camera angles in the (non-online) multiplayer can be difficult as helpful npc's can be confused for enemies, and vice versa at the beginning of the game. Most of these issues take a little adjustment time and then become more or less moot. Small frame rate issues plage a few more intense sections of the game, but the graphics and effects perform very well overall.
Issues with originality and frame rate aside, i'd suggest anyone give this game a try. This is a great game if you're looking for a dungeon-crawling console romp.
