CNET Editors' review
Imagine Brave New World crossed with a poor man's Baldur's Gate, and you have a rough idea of what Geneforge 2 is like. You play an apprentice of the Shapers, an overlord class of wizards who fashion servants out of raw matter. However, now the servants have turned on their masters. In the demo, you'll explore more than 20 towns, forests, and mines, building experience, fighting monsters, and searching for the source of the rebellion. The sound is merely adequate for a 10MB game, and the 800x600 16-bit graphics are less so. Character movement is clumsy. The screen doesn't automatically scroll, and the game often has trouble figuring out whether you want to, say, open a door or use it. On the other hand, you get days worth of free playing time, and the included help is excellent. Geneforge 2 is an odd case: complex enough to keep you interested, but not quite good enough to enjoy.
Publisher's Description
From Spiderweb Software:

You have the freedom to choose your own path and to decide how the story will turn out.

"Pretty good considering that it runs on my computer ;)"
Version: Geneforge 2 1.0.1
Pros
Love the stroyline and options allowing how much of the storyline would be exposed depending on your particular skill levels. Pretty engaging and, even though I'm only playing the demo, THE GAME IS HUGE!
I personally love long, engaging games.
Cons
The combat phase really sucks, especially if your computer may be lagging a bit. It's ok against a single foe, but, really, REALLY sucks against a few of them, especially the Higher Level enemies.

"Great Game. Very Addictive"
Version: Geneforge 2 1.0.1
Summary
I loved this game. I played it all the way through baecsue I just could stop until I got to the end. The player movement is not that hard to get used to. You just move with left-click instead of right (for those geniuses who couldn't deal with such a change.)

"What ??!"
Version: Geneforge 2 1.0.1
Summary
I was surprised because I really liked Avernum. I couldn't touch this game for more than a minute because of the sheer difficulty of getting the character to move. The graphics are not very good and you are confined to really small "towns." In order to go from town to town, you have to wait for the game to "load graphics" which is awkward and time-consuming.

"Unoriginal"
Version: Geneforge 2 1.0.1
Summary
This game is fun, though unoriginal. The way the controls are set up make it hard to move and interact with the environment
