5.0 out of 5 stars
For me, this is the best RPG on the PS3. Period. Rich in lore and player choices, this game will transport the player to another virtual place for over 100 hours of play (in this edition). In fact, I enjoyed the game so much that I bought it again (had the original edition and now bought the ultimate edition) in order to get all the download content (DLC). Seriously, it's that good.
Now for the "Take Note" portion of the review. The game manual is *extremely poor* at explaining how this game fully installs. Yes, like other PS3 games, you put the disc in the PS3 drive and if you have the autoplay option on (like most of us), the game starts up and installs itself and then goes through the updates (make sure you have an internet connection). *BUT* and this is really important - this first install is only for the main game. You will need to install each piece of the DLC (over a dozen installs) and NOT from inside the game. There are no codes to put in at the Playstation Store as all the DLC is on the disc. So after you've installed the main game and gone through the updates, QUIT the game. Then from the XMB (that's what Sony calls their menu system), below the DAO game disc icon, there should be an additional content icon (called Download Content, I believe). Selecting that icon will open a sub menu which lists each DLC individually. You then select the one you want to install and it will install to the PS3 hard drive. Do this for each piece of DLC that you want to install. When you're done, go back and select the DAO game disc icon to start the game and the add-on content should now be available. For the larger, standalone content (Awakening, Witch Hunt, etc.), you'll find that a new menu appears AFTER you select *new game* from the main game menu. Believe me, it took longer to find this all out then I care to admit but I want to save others the aggravation.

I have already written long reviews on DAO but I felt with all these
GOTY and Ultimate editions that I should write something
about it. ALL OF THE DLC IS ON THE DISC AND AWAKENINGS TOO!
this is perfect! Unlike Borderlands, no Voucher Code here!
you actually get it all on one disc. so if you haven't bought this
game yet then this is the time!
Like I said, you get all the DLC on this disc that means you get
The Stone Prisoner, Warden's Keep, Return to Ostagar, Feast day Gifts, The Darkspawn Chronicles, Feast day Pranks, Leliana's Song, The Golems of Amgarrak, and Witch Hunt Plus Awakenings all on One Disc!!! a Steal!
quite simply put, one of the best RPG's ever you simply Must Own
this if you have not already bought the collectors edition
or the standard. for one it's nice NOT having to change discs during gameplay. and it's really nice to actually Own my DLC now.
for further information I provided my review below.
My Original Review of DA:O:
I cannot praise this game enough! it will be one of those I play again and again!
the size and scope of the game is incredible. when I started off I'd wager I spent two hours learning about my character's background.
you pick one of many origins (i.e. elf, dwarf, human, etc)(I chose Elf Mage)
and then begin with your origin story (which is like watching a full length movie and so well written the time just flys by)
and then you're tasked with your first quest and the game begins.
this game has more freedom of choice then most, such as make a deal with a demon, or kill it to save a child. (it offers you Powers Not to kill it)
some of the quests have moral choices that will really pull on your emotions about people and things like power over friendship and the feel you have an impact upon the surrounding world.everything you choose to do has a "ripple effect" so your action will be known throughout the world. the characters control via one of two ways,
one is using the hack & slash method though this is harder then hitting pause so you can set all your mages attacks etc.
there's a lot of micromanagement in this but for loot mongers and rpg lovers this will be one of the years ultimate treats I assure you. there seems to be loot everywhere for those that search every area rather thourough. I also must say the amount of DLC available at this time for the collectors edition is amazing. (non collector edition owners will pay 6.99 and 14.99 for both dlc packs)
the graphics are excellent (though not mind blowing)
particle effects are wickedly done and the quests are crafted well enough to let you know you have many approaches to each "situation"
and will pull at your emotions. if you weren't lucky enough to get this collectors edition no worries I know the goodies will be released as DLC to everyone eventually since they listed prices (wardens keep 6.99 and the stone prisoner 14.99)
you have many abilities such as settinhg traps, stealing, dual wielding and so much more. while the game may be a bit "baldurs gat-ish) it's the BEST RPG on ps3 without a doubt.
the skill trees are similar to those you've seen in baldurs gate, diablo II and others. another thing is they must have over 200+ voice actors since I have not heard ANY voices repeat.
excellent actors such as Tim Curry, Kate Mulgrew, Claudia Black and more!
an excellent creature variety, large skill trees,
great loot and D&D style gameplay make this title
one of my all time fav's.
Graphics: Excellent and crispy. not mind blowing but perfect for me 4 1/2 stars great spell effects! excellent creature models and good variety of them.
Sound: the voice work is Top Notch and hundreds of actors
even the crickets put on a great perfomance! 5 stars!
the sound is a star here, the voice talent is top notch.
Gameplay: the micromanagement might put a few off but most will never let go of the controller since they got the controls so spot on for the ps3 on this title. it's amazing! 5 stars.
the controls are well mapped to the ps3 controller.
Fun: Yes Yes Yes! betray a friend or help him in a "forbidden" quest, help a grey warden or not?, kill a demon or trust the mouse? so many choices it's unreal! want to slay a dragon? you can!
want to go into dungeons and hack away, you can!
it's a Mature game so some of the things you can do are a tad graphic and as someone reminded me you end every battle absolutely painted in blood.
the game is brilliant what more can I say? 5 Stars!!
Overall: the package wraps up nicely into a 5 star Must Have!
the Gods at Bioware have greated the best "baldurs gate" style game yet! it's brilliant! you have to buy it asap if you don't you're missing THE BEST RPG experience of the year and possibly in my lifetime. (it's Very similar to Baldurs gate Dark Alliance)
this coming from a Hardcore
70's D&D player!!!
that's what I'd call an endorsement!
Dragon age origins is the RPG to buy.
Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition
Buy it Here!!!
Dragon Age Origins: Ultimate Edition
Awakenings Note: it's a decent enough expansion and a deal
as part of this huge package. while not as stellar as the campaign,
this expansion will add a great many hours (in addition to the DLC)
of gameplay and you will not be sorry for buying this package.
awakenings is around a Four Star expansion.
more skills and a higher level cap plus all new goodies & Critters round out this expansion. awakenings alone was a decent buy. in a package like this it's the Ultimate Bargain!

I bought Dragon Age Origins a year ago and STILL haven't stopped playing it. It is hands down my favorite RPG since Knights of the Old Republic (also by Bioware) and one of my favorite games period.
Dragon Age sets a high watermark in narrative and character driven gameplay. The graphics are decent and the gameplay is good but the story, character interaction and an expansive and interesting world are what set this game apart as a must play.
The Ultimate Edition includes EVERYTHING:
Dragon Age Origins, The main game, +100 hours and worth $60 on it's own
Dragon Age Awakening, The expansion pack, events that take place after the events of Origins
ALL the DLC, including: An extra (awesome) character, A 'What if?" scenario, A prologue chapter, 2 epilogue chapters, 2 extra quests, Armor, Gifts and pranks.
important notes:
All content is one 1 disc. NO VOUCHER! NO DOWNLOADS!
Save files are transferable between all editions of Dragon Age (and will transfer to Dragon Age 2)
Approximately 7GB needed to install everything (you can pick which content you want to install)
If you have any interest in playing this game, this Ultimate Edition is the only way to go.

Lots of content, lots of HD space required.
The game is great, I haven't yet ade it to the expansion but there's a lot of content on this disc. Downside is that it requires a substantial install.

Nice Games
This was a pretty good price for two games and both games are really fun to play. Only downside to these games is once you beat them it's not really fun to play a second time.
