Ditto! (Though I'm still pushing for a networked version).  The only
real thing that is hard to control (up to 4) people in real time.
This puts you at a bit of a disadvantage when you are trying to change
weapons or make new spells in the heat of combat.  But it sure does
get the old blood flowing :).

I found an easy way around this was that you could alway coax the
creatures into fighting you.  You could easily cast all your spells,
take a couple swipes and back up a "square" or two.  Ready your
spells, cast, attack and step back.  All long the monsters are still
walking forward trying to catch you.  This makes for easy combat til
you get to the dragon (he's rather fast) or beholders (with spells).
