h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

So I spent far too much time playing this one. Combat's a bit crap and to be honest so are the rest of the physics. As a world to explore though, this one is pretty much the best there is. Beautiful looks and sound, massive, massively detailed and completely alien.

Anyway if you want to get around in the game quicker a two or three second maxed out jump spell does the trick nicely.

The computer RPG genre is really on something of a high these past few years.

There have indeed been some cracking games, but I still can't stop playing Angband

Well, I do agree that the combat leaves something to be desired. Of course, I usually like to play theif-characters. So that means that, at least in theory, I don't have to fight as much.

it is not only simple but also motivating one to participate happily

Been playing this on XBox since November 2005 and managed to reach around level 30 although I've put the main mission on the backburner in order to do the expansion missions.
