## The Bard&#039;s Tale Reviews in United States

### ***** "Great game. Hilarious and many ours entertainment"
For a person that truly loves the RPG experience.  The game is loaded with content and has enough side quests to keep you entertained for many hours.  Speaking of entertaining, the dialogue in the games is so funny and Cary Elwes does an excellent job as the voice of the bard. This game is a must buy and is the only game I’ve ever paid for (well worth it)!
-- Dave , 2024-12-28

### ***** "Good ol fashioned fun"
I’m having way too much fun here. Love it!
-- The Skye, 2024-11-17

### *---- "No sound, no support"
Why dis happen? Waste of monees 😾🐒🦍🦧
-- Abigail VW, 2024-11-05

### ***** "Nostalgia “Retro”"
Not for the low self esteem.
  Old school simpler style RGP, But with a lot of adult humor. (NOT for the younger crowd.) You get to choose how the plot develops for the most part. Lots of running around and destroying and looting everything. Narrator constantly is telling you how bad you are for all of your horrible decisions.

  Over all a great time killer for the sarcastic.
If you hiding in your safe place right now because the world is not fair and giving you what you want without working hard or breaking a sweat……

  Just NO!!! STAY AWAY from this game!!! Stay under your Powerpuff Girls blanket, in your Mom’s house, at 27, not paying rent because you still work at the pizza place. You cannot even figure out why you have not made manager in the last 11 years or find a girlfriend. Still wondering why all the other guys laughed at you for wanting to play Soft ball with the girls in the 6th grade.
-- mstng64, 2024-07-29

### **--- "Original Games don’t seem to work"
I purchased this game for nostalgia purposes to play the original I played as a kid. The Bard’s Tale 3 appears to get stuck once I put the character disk in and it asks me if I want to continue with my saved game. I have chosen both yes and no, and nothing happens. Maybe, I am doing something wrong. Can anybody help? I would hate to request my money back, but I could use help with this.
-- Tlockett13, 2024-03-16

### *---- "cut scenes…"
can’t get past the rat cut scene, super frustrating, basically makes the new game worthless.
-- kilplyztym, 2024-02-06

### *---- "Unplayable"
6 minutes into the game and it freezes.
-- Lynde2006, 2023-10-04

### ***** "Excellent Game."
Love this game. It’s a streamlined RPG. You won’t really have to deal with selling a bunch of loot or min/maxing your character. The gameplay is pretty straight forward. The graphics are pretty decent, except for the cutscenes. As far as I know, all of the bugs that are mentioned in other reviews have been fixed. I haven’t had any issues with the game. I definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a simple fun adventure rpg.
-- Vinnie1103, 2023-07-29

### *---- "Too buggy to play"
Couldn’t even see the conversation options from the very beginning. Unplayable.
-- Jer Ser, 2023-07-27

### ***** "Definitely worth more than $6"
The storyline is great, the sing alongs are are so funny, just and overall enjoyable game to play.  I’ve had the game for over two years and I’m playing for the forth time and still have fun playing and discovering things I have missed previously.
-- Enoughforu, 2023-05-21
