This sequel however looks to take all the best bits of Eye of the Beholder and make a number of graphical improvements across the board. If the game were better, the series as a whole would seem like a great job. The graphics are good and detailed and there is no music to mention, while the sound effect are basic and average. It seems like the game was in a hurry to finish and like the developers made a really sloppy job at it. The puzzles are not interesting and too easy. Sure, there are some new additions that were very welcome and useful, like the option for the player to meet other characters and add up to two of them to their party. This game is the third and last installment of the Eye of the Beholder trilogy and unfortunately the worst of them. The third and final game of the Eye of the Beholder series would see players embarking on a quest to the fabled ruins of the city of Myth Drannor. Unlike the previous games it was not developed by Westwood Studios but by the publisher SSI in 1993/4. Eye of the beholder 3: Assault on Myth Drannor is rpg game set in the Dungeons & Dragons universe developed by SSI. It will definitely be loved by Golden Box RPG lovers, and even for less enthusiastic ones, I'm sure Eye of the Beholder 3 will prove a cool, beautiful graphically, game. Another great dungeon crawler rpg in the trilogy of Eye of the Beholder, was number 3, the Assault on Myth Drannor. But nonetheless, this third game concludes the series relatively well, and leaves little threads unexplored. What might be a little underwhelming though, is the lesser quality story which, truth be told, is no longer at the same heights as it was in the second title or, for that matter, in the original Eye of the Beholder. What will surprise you is the art direction, which is very satisfying, very beautiful the areas in which you will be moving about are very beautiful, very well drawn, offering you an undeniable feeling of being there, and a fantasy feel that still holds its freshness, even today, after more than 20 years of the game's release. It's a very well produced game, overall, with a first person interface, in that Golden Box first person canon, yet with a lot more detail than other games. Then again, no one should have to work that hard at watching a movie.Deal with the lich! The last in the seriesĪssault on Myth Drannor, as Eye of the Beholder 3 is aptly subtitled is the RPG that concludes the series. Like I said, watch closely and you may get something out of it. Some parts of it are just plain bad (like every one of k.d. It also seems self-important-as if they don't want the audience to understand. Too often, though, it seems like it's trying too hard to be interesting, doing so at the expense of storytelling. But will he finally do his job and turn her in or will he become her next victim? Before I start sounding too much like the back of a video box, let me just say that there is a lot here for those willing to pay close attention to it. This time he has the nerve to actually talk to her. He saves her, only to lose her, then finds her again. Eye also tries to protect her victims from her, but usually fails-until she becomes a victim herself at the hands of the scary, creepy Jason Priestley (yes, THAT Jason Priestley). She targets well-to-do men, feeds off of them for a while, then kills them. He's supposed to be getting her arrested but, as he keeps following her, becoming more and more obsessed, he starts protecting her. Having paid close attention to the film (the interesting direction and photography held my attention), however, I have been able to surmise the following: a spy code-named ∞ye,' (the miscast Ewan MacGregor) who's afraid of his own shadow, not to mention losing his mind since his wife left him (this same subject was covered in the far superior Zero Effect), falls in love with a beautiful killer (Ashley Judd). "But we have to put SOMETHING out there for god's sake! It's got two big stars in it!" My question is, did their tinkering make the film more or less confusing? We may never know. I mean, was it good at some point until some outside force-a producer or a test audience, for instance-started messing with it? The plot is incomprehensible, something producers in screening rooms tend to not like. Funny thing is, I think there might be a good movie in here somewhere. This thing must have looked good on paper-the only reason I can think of that Ewan MacGregor and Ashley Judd would associate themselves with it. ![]()
