Greg Miller writes:Back at E3 2011, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning turned a lot of heads with storybook visuals, satisfying action, and a nifty skill system. Now it's time for you to see all that in action. Below you'll find a 22-minute demo that walks you through the ins and outs of this action-RPG. If you have a question about the basics of the game, this should answer it.
Do you remember the good old days, when video games put fast hack-and-slashing combat sequences and extensive levelling systems first and a deep narrative with memorable characters second? BigHuge Games certainly banked on gamers holding some kind of nostalgia for those titles of yore with their fantasy RPG Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning.
This is hilarious that i would see an article after I went and re-bought the game and playing it all week! I love the QTEs in this game its satisfying, the combat is fluid where you can switch from weapons to magic so easily, the weapons, armor, quests, character customizations, lore, world, voice acting, are all great this game has almost everything you'd need and want from an RPG!
I really wish there was going to be a KoAR 2!

The journey comes to an end.
Would LOVE to see a sequel to this brilliant game. Wouldn't mind a remake for current gen systems either.
I think EA owns the rights to it now. I loved the game as well. A rare gem overlooked.
Went into a cave for a mission...Mission glitches and I can't start the mission or exit the cave...Auto save and manual saves are within the cave....I messed up so bad I quit. Really good game though.
such a great game, shame about the studio.
to produce something of that quality as their first title, just imagine what they could have done with more experience.
I've been looking forward to Reckoning for some time now. Looking forward to getting my hands on the game next year :)
The game looks great. This will make up for the trash that was Fable III.
simply... 2012's goty
this is one of my most anticipated.
everything ive seen/heard so far sounds fantastic.
This game has a ton of potential and I wonder how it will tie into their MMO of the same setting.
Love the camera control in what they showed. It zoomed in and out as needed to the combat and opponents. Very well done.
