In sharp contrast to the excellent atmosphere and addictive gameplay of the first two games, EOB3 is just plain boring to play. The plot also is quite interesting, with several unexpected twists and turns along the way, although the ending isn't nearly as good as EOB2. Another good improvement is the multiple character selection option, which allows several charaters in your party to attack simultaneously. Most of the new spells are quite useful, especially non-combat such as "Haste" and "True Seeing," the latter of which will not only show you hidden passages, but will also warn you about which items are blessed cursed. Many new spells and magical items are added - so many that you probably will not be able to try them all. The gameworld is much more diverse: there are open areas (forest and the city), a thicket maze, and an underwater level. EOB3 features several new ideas compared to the prequels.
Let's start with the good, since they are few and far between. From there, you will fight through hordes of undead to the city's temple, to face the God and defeat him. Strangely enough, you accept the offer and are teleported to a graveyard not far from the city. This time, you are asked by a suspicious character to rescue Myth Drannor. The result is a slow, uninspiring, and very tedious RPG which relies more on endless hordes of skeleton warriors than stellar gameplay to keep the game moving. After hiring Westwood to develop the first two games, SSI took control with their own design team to release this episode. Eye of The Beholder 3 is a disapponting final entry in the popular Eye of The Beholder trilogy, and a good example of how important a good design team is.
