Great game in the Diablo / Titan Quest genre
I played this game for weeks and never got tired of it. I will re-play it after I finish Titan Quest and expansion, and then Oblivion expansion, and then... well, I WILL play it again. I had no problems that I can remember running it or playing in on XP. Would highly recommend this game.

A quality RPG, it is not...
This is a pretty horrible RPG and I've played most of them over the years to know what to look for and not to look for. While I had played the demo and liked some of the features (i.e., side-by-side weapon and armor comparison with what you have on your character versus what you have in inventory, etc), the retail version doesn't play much better than an Alpha or a cruddy Beta build. Graphically, the game takes on a cell-shading style atmosphere which may look interesting in a screenshot, but doesn't translate to smooth game play. The camera has a low ceiling with which you can scroll out too and scrolling in doesn't provide detail as much as it obscures detail. The mouse controls are clumsy (i.e., when you click the response time is sluggish as if your character has the IQ of a rock), your character doesn't respond well to way points and tends to charge off even when you've told him which enemy to attack, the path finding is apparently MIA as instructing your character to walk from one side of the screen to the other requires mini-hop clicks to get him there, and the list goes on. I really did try to play this game for a bit considering what I had spent on it, but in the end, I uninstalled it and was left fairly disappointed. Additionally, I notice some other users had an issue with the copy protection - I can concur that this was an issue before I patched the game, but after the patch was installed it fixed the launching issues for me. Did it fix the gameplay to make it enjoyable? No, I'm afraid not.
Bottom line - looking for a more enjoyable and less frustrating RPG to play that's a recent release? Check out Titan Quest.

Good game but needs new drivers
The game is very good the video drivers needs work. To release a game when so many people has problems its confusing and anoying but there is no standar for that sort of thing yet.

DANGER-DANGER unstable game- Save your money!
Watch out! This Russian-French produced game has the most unstable copy protection scheme I've ever seen. The original dual-layer DVD disc has the Tages protection encoded in the disc. The game loads up about once every 30 tries because the copy protection is unable to detect that the original retail DVD is in your drive. You will be frustrated and then angry!
The few times it has loaded the game is okay- a little quirky but okay.
I bought it because the free download demo worked fine and it was fairly fun- even with the software bugs and crashes.
I cannot recommend the retail version- the copy protection is a serious and infuriating slap at the gaming public.

A great Diablo style game
This is an incredibly good Diablo style hack and slash dungeon crawl. It's mouse driven, if you like the "WASD" console style interface it's probably not for you but if you like Diablo, LOD, Sacred or Dungeon Siege you'll love this. It runs smoothly on my PCI FX-6200 card. Gorgeous original graphics, original maps and areas and nicely done quests. The skill system is a little unusual with a nature vs technology theme. The navigation system is a little quirky, takes some getting used to but once you get the hang of it it works well. The nicest feature of this game is that you can just jump in and play, the game configures itself with no hassles. The maps are huge and gorgeous. Highly recommended.
