Just got a cheap copy of Game of Thrones for the PS3.
I wasn't going to pay full price after reading all the terrible reviews it got but i'm really enjoying it.
How is it? Would you recommend it to an RPG loving GoT fan like myself?
I'll tell you the downside first just so you know i'm not advising you to buy a bad game....
The voice acting isn't great, the graphics are quite poor and the cut scenes are loooong.
However.
After the first couple of chapters getting to know the 2 characters you'll be controlling the story does start to pick up. I'm on chapter 9 now and it's getting really interesting.
There isn't a great deal of combat but it plays pretty smoothly and while it isn't free roam there are places to run around.
It is heavily story based but there is a lot of what goes on in GoT (backstabbing, political intrigue, double dealing and spying). You have to watch what you say in some places or it leads to a game over. Some bits take a bit of thinking about and can some decisions do affect things later on.
I would recommend it to a fan of the books/series as it does follow the theme well. But, like I said, it's not very action orientated so be prepared for story, lying, cheating and stabbing people in the chest for getting in your way.
