About this product

Product Information

Forget chivalry. Never mind saving the world. Just say "no" to <i>noblesse oblige</i>. Players enter 2004's The Bard's Tale with refreshingly simple motivations that the often underrepresented everyman adventurer can really relate to -- "coins and cleavage." In the role of the opportunistic, smart-mouthed, somewhat pompously disaffected Bard himself, players embark on a humorous, action-oriented misadventure through a classic medieval fantasy realm, based on the fondly remembered 1985 home computer game of the same title. Like the landmark original, this latter-day Bard's Tale was produced by RPG luminary Brian Fargo, and it is the first release from his inXile Entertainment studio.<br><br>The 3D game world is viewed from a top-down perspective, reminiscent of NeverWinter Nights, Dungeon Siege, or in particular, Snowblind Studios' Champions of Norrath: Realms of EverQuest; Bard's Tale was built on the Champions of Norrath engine. Players guide the Bard through the large world, exploring new areas and always on the lookout for a free meal or a "soft place to rest his head." While he is skilled enough with his sword, the Bard's true talent is in his voice. He can learn to use his special musical powers to summon a variety of able-bodied creatures that will follow along and help him in combat.<br><br>In spite of all the hacking and slashing that ensues, there is a considerable amount of <i>real</i> role-playing in The Bard's Tale -- not just stat-maxing and attribute improvements, but truly player-directed character development that influences the story being told. The game features a "Snarky/Nice" conversation system that allows players to choose the tone the Bard takes when speaking to different NPCs. Obviously, this can have a significant effect on their responses. Because the plot offers so many choices, with so many possible results, players will have to adventure through the game multiple times to unlock all its secrets and see everything it has to offer.

    Interesting old school game

    I played this for a little while, but it is my son's game. It has the awkward graphics of an older game, but has nice flute type music. The scene opens in a well stocked village. Outside the village you can start doing your battle stuff, but the first order of business is the rat in the skantily clad bar wench. She comes off as slutty, but in fact she is more than that, you'll be proud of her mom, hehehe. Anyway, there is some humor and singing of course, with the Irish influence. Looks like it would be an interesting game to complete.

    Witty, Fun to Play, Great Game!

    The Bard's Tale is a great game! The game's script is very smart, with a dry sense of humor and a main character with a fondness for directly addressing the game's narrator, with often hilarious results. In many situations the player is given the cfor the hero to respond to the other in-game characters with either a pleaseant ("nice") or snarky ("rude") response, some of which can shape the way the characters in the game respond to you, allowing for limited replayability. Gameplay is well-conceived with the camera remaining overhead for much of the game, and zooming in for cut scenes. One drawback to the overhead style of play is that the player must constantly readjust the camera's angle in order to always see the hero, and the hero's clothing can make him blend in with the enemies when ...

    Super Funny Dialogue and Disapointing Gameplay

    This game has incredibly funny and sarcastic dialogue and narration. It starts out well enough with the story of the main character who is a rather crude maladjusted yet somehow likable Bard. The Bards constant motivation throughout the game is money and lust as he pursues a chance to bed down a beautiful princess. All and all, the hilarious situations and continuous sarcasm keep the game moving along and entertaining. The game play is another story altogether, as it is awkward to control and becomes very repetitive, especially in battle scenes. Changing between weapons and calling forth magic are not as simple as a button press, it requires you to go through several icon menus all the while in the heat of battle which gets frustrating after a while. The game also doesn't give you ...

    The Bard's Tale (Xbox)

    This game is a light hearted relief to the dark and serious games that are so prevalent today. I just finished Doom 3 and Halo 2 and had several weeks of bad dreams but with this game there is a relaxed fun feeling. The graphics do leave a bit to be desired when compared to current standards but this is more than made up for by the irreverent humor. I would suggest you get a hold pf a simple walkthrough as it is very easy to miss a lot of neat stuff which will shorten the game but can also keep you from finishing some of the quests as it is not easy (sometimes impossible) to go back and play through an area again. I do LOVE the fact that we do not have to break 5 million barrels and make massive trips to "town" to sell things to get money due to the system of automatically converting ...

    A Great adventure game for the Classic X-Box console that is really FUN!

    Well, first things first. This is an older game for an outdated original X-Box console. Now I have enjoyed my original X-Box system for many years, and I still have my favorite games that I play from time to time. The Bard's Tale is one of those really good games that did not get a lot of attention when it first came out. But that it what makes it special. There is really nothing bad about this game. It is very fun, has better than usual graphic visuals, and the soundtrack is quite good as well. The main character is the Bard of course, but a singing sissy he is not! This bard learns to use some deadly weapons, and causes all sorts of interesting effects by employing magic at just the right moment. The Bard is surprisingly fearless and very capable of fighting his way out of some really ...
