When my buddy told me to get this, I thought he was nuts. I'm primarily a combat/hardcore tactics and strategy gamer, BUT, I got it anyways, figuring I'd humor him and badger him for something else if it didn't work out. But in any case, I fired up the game that night, and much to my surprise, the game is well made, very beautiful, even if it does look rather cartoony. It's got a bit of gore in it, as you either shoot enemies until they die, stab them, blow them up with beam spells, fry them, or any other rather nasty way to bite it that I didn't yet mention.

One thing I did notice as I was playing the main adventure, is that the whole experience is geared towards co-op gaming. The first major story boss, this large green snake, was rather tough to beat, only because I didn't have someone healing me as I was tossed across the map.

Another thing to notice about the game is the references. ALL OF THE REFERENCES. That's another element that I love about this game, is the tounge-in-cheek attitude about going around and causing magical mayhem.

Another item is the customization. It's not 'you are the blue link', its..."Hmm, what do I feel like kicking butt in today? Oh, I don't know, but I do know THIS time its' not going to be pink..."

If you have friends on Steam, get the four pack, and tell them to get the DLCs, or get it for them because you're a nice person.

Bottom line: Highly recommended, DLC's are a must have. Adds variety and useful upgrades and differing abilities to the group. And don't game alone.
