This game is done so well...  It is a perfect 10!!!   The party is so easy to control, fighting is fun,  the characters have depth, great graphics, frame rate, and story. 

The area effects are great.  I cast a fire storm and then a blizzard some way down and watch the enemies run into each effect one after the other, while the rest of my party hides behind a corner.  It's the best.

  I play on hard and hear the nightmare level is for geniuses.   Hard is really hard.  I can't see how nightmare could even be done.  Can't wait to try though.
