Amazon.com:
Scourge of Worlds: A Dungeons and Dragons Adventure is not a film sequel to Dungeons and Dragons (2000), but the DVD equivalent of an interactive role-playing novel. There are over 900 short digitally animated sequences, leading every so often to a choice to be made with the remote control, resulting after about 90 minutes in one of four possible endings. Just as the original D&D was inspired by The Lord of the Rings, the scenarios here are Tolkien rehashed: a newly arisen darkness is seeking an ancient ultimate weapon, against which stand a human warrior, Regdar; a halfling, Lidda; and an elven wizard, Mialee. The CGI is closer to Roughnecks: The Starship Troopers Chronicles than the pseudo-realism of Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, the electronic score is tiresome and the contemporary voice acting, using such expressions as "heads up" and "…or something," is laughable.
What of the interactive element? Essentially it offers two equally uninteresting paths at the end of every major scene--uninteresting because it's impossible to care what happens to the marionette-like stereotypes no matter what they do. While the adventure does offer plenty of well-choreographed cartoon-style action, interacting with Scourge of Worlds is ultimately about as much fun as watching someone else play a computer game--and that's just the first time through. --Gary S. Dalkin

This is kind of cool, simple, but cool, and especially good if you are bored and have some time to kill! and the animation is pretty cool, it is fun enough to make it worth while. :)

As a lifelong D&D fan and role-player, I knew what I was looking at when I viewed the CD, but I wonder if an inexperienced player would understand the roles of each of the characters in the adventure. I was already familiar with the main characters as they are in the 3rd Edition Players Handbook. I felt that unaware viewers would have trouble picking out the motivations of each of the class-types and races and this would only prove to make the adventure more difficult. All-in-all, I'm happy to ... Read More

An owner of both the original and special edition of this interactive adventure, I have managed to make it to the four endings on the original version; supposedly, the special edition has two more endings. What's to like: the fantasy story based on the main four characters' interactions (Regdar the fighter, Lidda the rogue, Mialee the wizard, and Barathion the cleric), the witty banter of the characters, the periodic choice of which path to take (often testing Regdar's level of loyalty to his different ...

Scourge of Worlds is a Dungeons and Dragons style of story with the main characters being a fighter, mage, and theif. They have the oportunity to join with a cleric or a druid. As the movie unfolds, the viewer is given many oportunities to decide which choice the characters will make thus changing the story each and every time you watch the movie. The graphics are very high quality, obviously computer generated not drawn. My only complaint about the movie was... it was too short! The choice we made the ... Read More
