Champions of Norrath: Realms of EverQuest for PlayStation 2

Pros: Solid hack-and-slash action.
Cons: The online element is poorly implemented.

When Snowblind Studios unleashed Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance on PS2 owners back in December of 2001, the results were largely positive. The title, which was a more action-oriented RPG than its PC namesake, allowed console owners to hack and slash their ...

Pros: A fun, easy to play, fantasy RPG playable with three friends.
Cons: Graphics sometimes lagged, and load screens take too long. Music can get repetitive.

First, I have to tell you, I am not one of the millions who has played in the huge online Everquest world. I just don't have the time for it. I do enjoy video games, and my son (age 8) and I greatly enjoyed playing Baldur's Gate - Dark Alliance. ...

Pros: Graphics, Online Multiplayer, Replay Value
Cons: Slows Down When There's Too Much On The Screen, No One Plays Online

Being a fan of Role-Playing, I decided to get this from a friend. I like all types of RPGs and like to play different kinds just so I won't get bored doing the same turn-based stuff over and over again. I've also played both of the Baldur's Gates for the ...

Pros: Fun, Detailed, Great Multi-Player
Cons: The MANa Wh*re

My fiance and I are huge gamers. We especially love the opportunity to play a co-operative two player, and those are few and far between. We both loved the Baldur’s Gate games, and were very excited for the release of Champions of Norrath. We ...

Pros: 1-4 players, some good graphics occasionally, fun weapons, lots of gameplay hours
Cons: Poor imitation of better games in the genre such as Diablo 2 and EverQuest

BRING ON THE CLONES, lol. This game should have Diablo 2 in its credits, its really such a rip off from that game, and not as good. Its a pale shadow of its online EverQuest inspiration and a mini-me of Diablo 2 LOD. It tries to do the same things, but ...

Pros: Great character selection, in-depth personalizing. Great skills, weapons, armour and upgrades. In the world.
Cons: The mini-map is in the wrong place. The characters voices are tiresome.

Amazing game. If anyone plays RPG's often then after they play this they will realise that it is one of, if not the best ever RPG ever released for PS2. The water effects. Superb! The character choices. Amazing! The character skills. So in depth you ...

Pros: Graphics, different items, customizable characters, LOTS of enemies
Cons: Too linear, soundtack gets repetitive

Champions of Norrath is a first person role-playing game set in the fantasy realm of Everquest. Everquest has achieved a huge following, especially among the online community. This game offers the chance to allow you to play online and with as many as ...

Pros: Co-Op feature Challenging Bosses
Cons: Graphics - but it's PS2 so what do you expect.

Champions of Norrath is an awesome game!! Do you love co-op games? If you are like me, it's hard to find GOOD co-op games these days. The co-op feature on this game is great, my husband and I love to play games together as a team. After we ...

Pros: Great supplement to Everquest.
Cons: It's not Everquest 2.

With Everquest 2 on the4 horizon many fans that can't seem to stay hooked to Everquest like some of the more hardcore fans have been looking for new games. This is that game. With beautiful detail This game takes you back to the world of Everquest to play as your favorite races. A must have for someone who's looking for their Everquest fix.

Pros: Great RPG game with mostly nice features.
Cons: There really isn't any except the save function.

This is a wonderful RPG game. It lets you choose which gender & class you would like to be. In the beginning the game is a little difficult, but it is really enjoyable. If you've ever played any games from the Diablo series, it has the same look & feel. I had a little trouble with understanding the story line since I'm not familiar with the EverQuest series but as the story progressed you find out what's really going on. It's also nice that you can import your characters, the save feature was a little difficult to use but you get use to it after awhile. It also has a lot of replay value, because you can start a quest over again using a new character or your old one. Overall it was a very good game.

Pros: Excellent RPG. Graphics, storyline, and characters A+.
Cons: Not enough money.

My husband and I are always on the lookout for a good 2 player game where we can play simultaneously. Since these seem to be almost non-existent in the gaming world, we were very pleased when Champions of Norrath came along. This game beats all of the other 2 player RPG's out there hands down. So-far we have been unable to find its equal. It is your typical hack & slash with a few extra elements thrown in. For the single and multiplayer gamer, this is an excellent choice.

The online is good, but the players will not wait around for you if low on health. You are on your own, much like Quake III Arena.

Have fun!
