4.0 out of 5 stars Over all it's fun BUT..., January 9, 2007

This review is from: Dungeon Siege II Deluxe (CD-ROM)

I actually would have given this game a 5 star rating but there were a couple of flaws that really bugged me. First let me say the positives. I really enjoyed this game. I like saving the world from bad guys but not a lot of blood and guts (since I have young ones that watch me play i have to be careful what they see). The grafics were good and the secondary missions, while frustrating, added to the game like the first Dungeon siege lacked. What I really enjoyed playing with as the ability to enchant Items to make them what you wanted.

But the flaws: There are three levels to the game, you have to beat one to unlock the next, but the unlocked level only works for the charaters that unlocked it. So you have to run throught the same game three times. This is a little frustrating, but the monsters are more difficult each time through so it's not the exact same game. Still, when I play a game I like to learn each time through and make changes. As I approached the end of the first level I started planning how I would form the party with five charaters, but instead I was given the same four I finished the first level with. I could start completely over with the new formations but it was frustrating. In the secondary tasks there are a lot of three step forward and two step back things. There are tasks I never completed cause I got tired of going back and forth.
****The most frustrating thing about the game is there are sections in which you need specific characters to play or certain ablities to get through doors, so it feels like parts of the game are hidden from you.

If someone were to ask I would say buy it, just look out for what I mentioned. I just started phases two and still have several of the quest Items from the first time through, those in my inventory, so some of the tasks may be easier this time. We'll see. I'd still have liked to swing through the game with a larger party from scratch like I was anticipating. Then again there are a couple of places I am looking forward to getting revenge on;-)

5.0 out of 5 stars Not for everyone, December 28, 2007

This is really a great great game, but only for a certain type of gamer. First, you must be down with the whole Tolkienesque fantasy world of elves, dwarves, etc. You know, nerdy stuff. Second, you shouldn't be looking for something extremely challenging. Third, you should enjoy a certain amount of chaos and not be a huge control freak.

I think the best way to think of Dungeon Siege is a playground for cool virtual action figures. You can dress them up, you can buy stuff for them, and you can fight with them, or more correctly, you can watch them fight and control them a bit. None of it is much more complicated than that. It's like a great big game of "pretend". If that sounds like fun to you, buy it. If you want something more, look elsewhere. I personally love it. It scratches an odd psychological itch, what can I say?

I enjoyed the first Dungeon Siege so I decided to try out DS II. It is a great role playing game. It hold your interest, moves at a decent pace, and has enough new stuff so that it doesn't seem like a repeat of the first game.
