    A very negative review (3/10) of Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor has been posted at The Third Edition. It focuses mainly on the 3rd edition D&D rules implementation in the game, and on some game play issues. Here's a snip:

    Your party cannot break up. Every member of your party must remain within 30 feet or so of the party leader. Do you want to use your rogue to scout the area ahead? Too bad, your only choice is to march your whole entourage into every unknown area. Why does this game even offer rogue abilities then?

    Dice rolls are obviously rigged. A truly random roll of 1-20 should yield an average of 10.5. However, I roll 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 so often that I can only conclude that the attack rolls are completely rigged somehow. Enemies however, regularly make attack roles over 12.

    You cannot scroll the screen and click on a remote destination. To walk from point A to point B, you must click, click, click, click your way there. Oh what fun!
