We've been seeing alot of previews on this game lately, but Gamesdomain probably thought we hadn't seen enough of The Art of Magic yet, since they have posted their preview aswell.[BLOCK]The premise of the game remains the same (see our Magic and Mayhem review) but the two years that have passed since the original was released have allowed the action to be migrated to a full 3D world, one which looks every bit as good as that seen in the Myth series. The object of the game is to guide your wizard to victory over your magic-touting enemies in a Dungeons and Dragons-style fantasy world. The key to victory lies in controlling sources of mana; the more mana stones you control, the quicker your alter ego's mana supply recharges. The faster you recharge, the more spells you can cast. The 60 spells in the game are focused on the monster-summoning variety, but also include offensive and defensive spells, and spells to create special objects, totems or enhancements to your summoned minions. The game action is typically frenetic, but you can pause the action to give orders if you wish.[/BLOCK]
