Yes, I realize that this is realistic to actual chess, but this is a video game and if you can’t improve on the real world version of the game then it shouldn’t exist. When you make a move it can take the computer up to a full minute to make their move. If you look at it as a chess game only it is ok. This is chess, nothing more (well, a little more that I’ll complain about later). If I had rented this game as a kid I would have been very mad when I got home. If I saw the box without the title I would guess it was a Gauntlet or Golden Axe game. If you were a kid in the early 90’s and a fan of video games the cover art of this game would really grab your attention as it looks like an action role playing game. But, if you want to play a 30 year old chess game there are better options. Short review: If you are a fan of chess and looking for a challenge this game will give it to you.
