King's Bounty - Review @ Softpedia

Softpedia has kicked up a review of King's Bounty, with a score of 8.5/10.  Here's a snip:

King's Bounty: The Legend is old school while also being innovative. And it's coming from a Russian developer, so you know you can expect something a little bit weird, like CD Projekt's The Witcher or STALKER from GSC Game World. It does not disappoint those who are into tactical battles and character development, even though the game, out of the box, has some well defined bugs and at times seems to be just too hard for the average gamer.

Other than that, King's Bounty: The Legend is a blast. You get a hero, you can recruit an army, you get spells, fight monsters, save princesses and defeat the baddies. What more could you want? Well, even if you don't know it, you actually want more humor, weird fantasy tales and fighting options and that's exactly what King's Bounty offers. How about having a zombie wife whom you can turn into a human and then back into a zombie for humor? How about having a Pandora's Box which you can control for more combat options? And how about ending a dwarf miner strike for more fantasy storytelling? These three ideas sum up King's Bounty pretty well.
