Customer Reviews of King's Quest 8: Mask of Eternity
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this game is so awesome its a lota fun and i also skip the dying heart thing but i jump OVER the ghosts!!! every tme i play i find something new its just so awesome so awesome my fave weapon is the fire bow cause they burn to death it looks so cool.(i always cheat for it at beginning)
Kings Quest
im a smart kid so i dont find the puzzles all that hard and i like the combat. my fave place is either dimension of death or realm of the sun(i like mazes)tho to get the hammer thingy in the dimension oif death i just charge right through the ghosts with a shield potion which cuts my dimension time in about half since i dunt have to do the whole dying heart thing.the combats excellent tho on big fights like the one at the bridge of life i die easy so i use god mode(superconnor!) overall, its one of my favorite RPGs.
*An insult to previous KQ games
I am not one to hate, but considering Roberta William's humble beginnings and her breakthrough titles such as previous King's Quest serious... I feel like this is a betrayal to adventure gaming in general. I could not believe that she would put her name to something like this until I read one of her interviews back in 1999 (http://www.justadventure.com/Interviews/Roberta_Williams/Roberta_Williams_Interview_3.shtm)

<
>Apparently, she was trying to bring adventure gaming to a larger audience. However, as a King's Quest game, this is just a bad title. A few facts rather than rants:
<
>
<
>1. This game features little to no connection to the original King Graham family and even less character development of the main hero. What is his name again?
<
>
<
>2. The landscape does not resemble Daventry at all, and the overall game is usually pretty dark (no sunlight... dark corridors)
<
>
<
>3. As a 3D action game, it gets tedious and repetitive shooting arrows and hacking monsters. Without a viable plot, there is nothing that really stands out from this title. Granted, the game had superior graphics and arguably sound at the time of its release, it terms of game play it offers nothing innovative.
<

<
>4. There is very little humor, puzzle solving, or "adventure" aspects at all. The only adventure you will get is from going from level to level hacking monsters. Long gone is the excitement you feel when you enter a new colorful room and must talk to NPCs and explore items to assist you in your quests. It's like taking the orgasm out of sex.
<
>
<
>5. The ending sucks, the title produced inferior sales compared to its predecessors, and either due to management change issues or this title, after KQ8 the franchise has effectively been killed off.
<
>
<
>Sometimes I wonder if Sierra was developing another action game and just decided to add a few cut scenes and package the title as KQ8 for the sake of money. Because it definitely seems that way; this game ranks a negative -10 on my scale, even and as an action game it is mediocre at best.

<
>Good job killing off a ground breaking series and brought the enjoyment of adventure gaming to millions.
