Shadowbane: Rise of Chaos is not an essentially bad game, with a small update to the graphics engine and more things to do besides chopping other player's heads off this game could be great.

The outdated graphics, and the several other annoyances like that there is no path finding engine which makes manoeuvring your character a real pain in the ass, the abrupt weather and day/night changes, square trees, and sounds that don't fit (a huge gate sounds like a small door) ruined the game for me. If you can ignore them, you might find the hidden beauty in Shadowbane: Rise of Chaos though. Or you could just do as everyone else, and level your character up to compete in the severe PvP beating that is going on all day.

I am looking forward to the next Shadowbane expansion, or maybe to a sequel. The story, the box artwork and other things look so amazingly good that i still, even after i have been disappointed by the current state of the game, want to see what is coming.
