4.0 out of 5 stars Rompin' Good Time, February 28, 2006

This review is from: Dungeon Siege (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)

Saw this was out in jewel case for 10 bux (as of this review) and thought I might help you decide. Rest assured this game for this price is a great buy, here's why:

Graphics & Sound: the game looks great. Though some say there are better 3D type games out today this one pulls off the look well and the graphics are smooth. The environments look dazzling and there is little in the way of graphic glitches on most machines. The soundtrack and sound effects are great; and all of the sound fits the mood and environment of the game well. Some of the sound effects are amazing: echoes in caves and tunnels, bones crunching for skeletons, etc... Turn it up and enjoy!

I should note that the camera controls take a little getting used to - though you can modify all options via the in-game menus. Make sure you adjust all the settings to suit your needs and tastes (there are many customizable facets via Options)...

Gameplay & Fun factor: Nothing bad to say at all! Of course if you don't like running around beating up monsters, collecting treasure and magical toys, and saving the world then don't bother with this title: because that is what Dungeon Siege is all about! The story is simple and effective, getting you inot the action fast and furious. The game moves more or less nonstop and although there aren't any complex options for customizing characters or developing skills the simplicity makes the game that much more fun. There are more complex role-playing games out there - Dungeon Siege is not one of them.

If you have a home network this game is a blast. There isn't any adult-only materials in the game that I recall: save for the skeletons and monsters that can sometimes be a little gross. There is blood and gore but it can be switched off via the Options menu.

The original Dungeon Siege comes with 2 playable multi-player maps: the single-player campaign map and another map with a different storyline and slightly different world types. This is a great value for people playing multiplayer games!

Performance & System Notes: the specs on the package (recommended configuration) will run the game very well. Be sure that your Video & Sound drivers are up to date (very important) and disable any background programs (like virus scanners) to improve performance.

The various in-game options to configure video and sound allow for a broad range of optimization: even if your PC is slower or has trouble running the default settings you might be able to tweak it and play at a decent rate.

The 4 stars in this review reflects the fact the game, for some, can get very repetitive: there's a lot of killing monsters, finding treasure, and completing quests - if that bores you after the 300th monster slain then Dungeon Siege may get on your nerves. Happy hunting.

This review is from: Dungeon Siege (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)

This is a good, fun game that does not hog system resources. While it is a couple of years old at this point,it has held up fairly well due to the quality of the story line. Probably not equal to the Diablo series, but definitely a good RPG. Fewer and fewer games of this quality are being brought to market, cherish those that are released.

This is a pretty good game overall. The ability to choose the NPC's for your group gives you more control over the entire outcome of the game. There are many NPC's that offer to join your group. The story line is kinda cool.Try it. I like it and spent many hours playing.
