Overall, The Bard's Tale is wonderful. Although it does lack in a few areas, the game's memorable characters and terrific sense of humor more than make up for any of these weaknesses. It is so refreshing to see a title that doesn't take itself too seriously and developers who are comfortable enough to use comedy as a key element in their design. The game has solid, if somewhat simplified, gameplay, good visuals, and great audio. As I said, I don't fully remember the first Bard's Tale, but I can imagine that this version is a worthy successor. Fans of classic RPG games (those who will "get" the jokes) should definitely take a look.
