What happened to Daventry?

by greenie3 , Dec 11 '00
Pros: Ok story line
Cons: Not enough puzzles too much battle
I've received an early Christmas present and I wish I hadn't!

What has happened to my beloved Kings Quest? Why oh why did they have to incorporate battle into what has always been an adventure game based on logical thinking and puzzle...

Bugs, bugs, and more bugs...

by Dark__Knight , May 10 '00
Pros: Good storyline, fun before it gets buggy.
Cons: TOO many bugs
In this game you control a character where you have to retrieve pieces of the "Mask of Eternity", the mask that spreads peace and prosperity across the land. A powerful mage shatters the mask into five pieces, and you must retrieve them all...

Had Promise, but ended up Tedious and Annoying.

by arky333 , May 23 '00
Pros: Story, Graphics
Cons: Gameplay, Bugs, Few Puzzles
A great friend of mine from childhood was back in the country last month after spending a few years abroad. He brought with him a surprise: King's Quest, Mask of Eternity (MOE). This was truly a surprise because back in the day we used...

Welcome to the 'control-alt-delete' club

by dmarusz , Jun 26 '00
Pros: nice length
Cons: constant freezing, weak characters
When getting Mask of Eternity, one would probably think that "Eternity" stands for the amount of time it takes to load this game onto the computer. I think putting Office 95 on my 286 went faster than this. This being the new tale by Sierra,...

Why mess with success?

by idein , Jan 25 '00
Pros: None
Cons: Too dark and angular
I own all the King's Quest series. I have enjoyed playing them and so have my children.
We have always enjoyed the puzzles and quests that were an integral part of the play.
However, in my opinion, they really messed up a good thing with this...

A step down for Sierra

by bulldg60 , Oct 10 '00
Pros: Beautiful graphics, storyline, some challenging puzzles
Cons: combat included (very easy), majority of puzzles simple, something feels missing
This game had a lot to live up to, being the 8th in a series that's been around for over 15 years. It probably would've gotten poor reviews had it only been equal to its predecessors, due to the expectations. The sad truth is that it fell a good ways...

King's Quest: The Mask of Eternity

by digant , Jan 17 '00
Pros: an o.k game
Cons: action oriented puzzles

King's Quest: Mask of Eternity, the latest in the venerable series from Sierra On-Line, is a noble effort, an adventure inside an RPG wrapped in an action game. From every angle, this game is a vast, sprawling experiment that, while falling short...

Too Much Action - Too Little Thought

by Icre8 , Dec 30 '99
Pros: Interesting Story Line
Cons: It takes too long to reload when you die
"Mask of Eternity" offered too much action and not enough thinking for me as a non-combatant. There are dozens of games being released constantly that offer variations of the arcade battlefield. The thing I have always enjoyed about the King's...

Good but different

by Jaylewis , Jan 26 '00
Pros: good story line
Cons: very long loading times
After nearly 3 month have I finished Mask of Eternity, though the end was a little bit disappointing for my taste. And one reason for this long time is the fact that the game takes an incredible long time to load/reload after death and saving the game....

It started off great and will end great

by zenquon , Jan 16 '00
Pros: Great graphics, very addictive, the characters speak when they show diolague, great performance
Cons: Computer requirements are above normal
This game is probably the best PC adventure game I've ever played. The graphics are unbelievable because you could see all of the angles of the main character. Each of the characters in the game, could speak out loud to you. The game is pretty big which...

Awesome game

by kitten2797 , Jan 16 '00
Pros: enchanting
Cons: addictive
As an avid fan of King's Quest games, let me tell you that Roberta Williams has outdone herself with Mask of Eternity. The epic saga continues in better 3D graphics, taking characters, and new, harder challenges to face. This is better than the other...

Combat? What happened to the brainbusters?

by BLINKEYE1 , Oct 23 '00
Pros: Good graphics and sound quality
Cons: The great puzzles-the foundation of King's Quests games-is lacking.
King's Quest games are full of challenging problems, mazes, and riddles that sometimes take a week or three friends to figure out. Or at least they were, until now. King's Quest: The Mask of Eternity replaces those difficult but rewarding puzzles with...

Mask it for Eternity

by MariaW , Aug 10 '00
Pros: Entertaining, slightly challenging fun
Cons: May have trouble with sound drivers, graphics
First I'll start by saying I'm a HUGE Kings Quest series fan!! Kings Quest V was my first ever computer game so I'm very nostalgic about the series. I must say that my feelings were mixed about Mask of Eternity.

Problems right from the...

The title is misleading

by Orion10 , Nov 26 '00
Pros: good graphics; good sound
Cons: too slow; not enough puzzle-solving; not a true King's Quest
The first thing I thought when I saw the game was "Yes! Finally! Another King's Quest." I was an ardent fan of the series, having loved one through six (seven-not so good). It became clear, however, upon installing and starting the game,...

Great Breakthrough, but Trying a Little Too Much

by wwfguru , Nov 20 '00
Pros: Value
Cons: Complicated Storyline
I've been playing this game for a long time now. I bought it about a year ago, and I've really loved it. I mean I wouldn't say it has the best graphics in the world, or the best sound, but it's truly a great adventure game.

I've played...
