Dungeons & Dragons Heroes Review

Game Chronicles Magazine has tossed up a glowing review of Dungeons & Dragons Heroes, giving the Xbox RPG an overall score of 8.8/10.
We've all played Gauntlet and newer games like Hunter the Reckoning and there is a definite niche for cooperative multiplayer games like these that don't require you to split the screen. What better franchise to explore this genre with than Dungeons & Dragons, and Heroes is a great way to start. The open-ended design allows players to join and exit whenever they wish, trade freely with other characters, and you can even develop your characters outside of the main party adventure and bring them back later.

Dungeons & Dragons Heroes will hopefully spark a new franchise of multiplayer games and if we are lucky the next generation will support online play. Meanwhile, this is one of the best new multiplayer games and its exclusive to the Xbox, so you even get some system bragging rights to go along with your hack and slash adventures.
