Another day, another positive review of King's Bounty: The Legend at Eurogamer. The game gets a 9 out of 10:

"Right now, King's Bounty feels like a 10/10 game wriggling inside a slightly-too-wonky 8/10 game engine. None of its flaws are enough to dull the many pleasures of its impressively varied world, and the more time you sink into its meandering delights the more surprising the experience becomes. Rare are the games that have you muttering "Well, I didn't know that could happen!" after more than 30 hours, and the fact I could have written another 2000 words describing weird and wonderful moments you're best discovering for yourself is all the recommendation you should need."

I cannot resist quoting a line from the game, spoken by the hero's mentor: "You were almost like a son to me - young, hot and certainly talented." Translation errors with kinky results, I never get tired of those!
