   I've heard this before about AO...and I remember Dan Jevons(Knightmare)   
   from GameFan pleading with Working Designs to try to speed up some of   
   the battles before they brought it to the US, but I'm guessing that   
   never happened. You're right though, as mediocre as I've heard the game   
   is, I *still* want to try it out due to those gorgeous screenshots. ;)
