Product Description
The Bard's Tale was the great-grandfather of modern-day computer role-players. This updated version brings back the fun and adventure, as you play The Bard -- a hero who's only after coins and cleavage. Is a dragon attacking a village? He'll face it, for the right price. Has a princess been kidnapped? He'll save her, but only if she's hot. Comedy and fantasy action combine for a uniqe 3D role-playing experience!

5 out of 5 stars Bards Tale Talks   September 30, 2008
I've played all the systems all the games since the early eighty's. Remember Ultima (Lord British), King's Quest, or Asteroid. Even today's games like GTA, Halo, Lego Star wars, The Sims, or.... D.D. Revolution.
If you loved Baldur's Gate's two games you will worship the Bard's Tale. Unmatched in wit, sexual innuendo, and pure gaming pleasure, this games got all you need to stay satisfied and fulfilled when it comes to gaming. Dance, Fight, Sing, Drink, Molesting maidens, even petting puppies..... puppy dogs. The bard may even make deals, gamble, cheat, steal, you even have a choice in the way speak to people or creatures You "MAY" encounter with a kind word or a snarky attitude which will determine how they respond which will determine how part of this tale will unfold. Hell you are a bard! You can even play onstage and really wow the townsfolk. And if a lute, or flute is not to your liking then perhaps something else.... how shall we say, more modern and magical instruments are available through out the game for musical needs.
And U are not alone. U can summon many allies in this quest of epic proportions.

My favorite game & great price, The Best Deal, And "BEST GAME" I have ever played.

5 out of 5 stars Loved it!   August 16, 2008
I bought this based on recommendations here. It's the 1st PS2 game I've ever bought for myself. (It's my son's game system). What a treat! I laughed throughout the game. The humor is adult based. I hope I can find more like it! The gameplay is not too hard, yet not so easy as to be boring.


5 out of 5 stars Bards Tale good game!   August 8, 2008
I like this game it's pretty cool it sort of makes you feel like your in the 13 hundreds which is pretty cool. Buy this game you'll really enjoy it.


4 out of 5 stars believe the reviews, this game is a riot!   March 20, 2008
I bought this game based on the recommendations on this very page. and it's all true, the game is wickedly funny, the dialogs are highly entertaining and if you are a an RPG fan, this is for you. If anyone knows any other RPGs like this (that don't take themselves so seriously and make you laugh like crazy) please drop me a note, i am dying to play another one like this one. thank you!


5 out of 5 stars Great game   February 17, 2008
A Bards tale, is a great game. Not for Kids through. I bought this game for my husband for his birthday with the game guide (a must have) and he was on cloud nine. The Bard is a snarky fellow that is thrown into a situation and he copes with it to the best of his ablities. The dialog is halrious, and he says things that you wish Link could say. He's a bit on the sour side, and it's great. It's a one person game, not multiplayer, set in a fansty type world.
