Environment was quite beautiful, and filled with luminescent a twinkling, making this place full of mystical aura. We will explore the various places which is quite varied, ranging from a forest full of spider webs, to the desert.

Unfortunately, the character models are not too good, even some look very bad. But for the character animation is quite fantastic, making the battles look really like a game hack-and-slash smooth. Only occasionally we’ll find a little glitch in the animation, especially animation stealth kill.

Amalur successfully provided voice acting is far more convincing than the RPG -world open another. Unfortunately we may not be too keen to listen to conversations because reading subtitles much faster than waiting for them to finish talking and straight through to the next sentence. Our character is a mute person. Not a word spoken by him, and we must “assume” that we are talking to the NPC by selecting dialog.

They are also not only to upscale graphics, but also change the texture of the total environment and the model so that it appears there was an attempt to highlight ‘attention to detail ‘in the environment.

The new feature that makes me quite impressed that mode switching between graphics new version with the original version in mid-game in progress with as easy as pressing the select button. Options for 3D display as well as in input for gamers who have a 3D TV. Unfortunately the graphics mode of this displacement can not be used in mid cutscene, and no theater mode which had popularized by Halo 3 so that gamers can not watch the replay of their game.
