This is a great multiplayer game and has improved upon it's predecessor, Champions of Norrath, with game speed, control, and multiplayer options. I have spent many hours playing this game, but only with friends. Return to Arms permits you to you use any spell in your book by use of the directional pad.

Best of all, the spell-book is much improved over the original Champions of Norrath game: that game only allowed you to use two spells at any given time. The mu sic is good, though slightly repetitive, and the sound effects are fun. The lighting system produces some wonderful moody atmospheres. The graphics are bright and colourful, and the frame rate remains consistent even with many enemies on the screen. This allows you to create a very powerful character. Best of all, once you complete the game on one difficulty setting, you can restart the game with the character you've already beaten the game with. The missions you play are slightly different depending on which side you choose. In the first level, you can pick to play either on the "good" or "evil" side. Additionally, if you have played Champions of Norrath, you can import your character! There are seven classes of characters to choose from, each with a male and female version. This sequel to Champions of Norrath continues the battles of the first game. This is a fun, easy to play hack 'n slash RPG with excellent replay value.
