Over all it's fun BUT...

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;-)

Dungeon Seige was arguably the best game on the market, but Dungeon Seige II is a poor rendition of the the origional. I threw it in the garbage it is that bad!

ONE OF THE BEST RPG'S EVER!!!

WOW!! This game is great. There are barely any gliches and the story line line is amazing. The idea of being able to have a party of up to six people is amazing because it allows for more honed skills for each character instead of becoming a "weak, jack-of-all-trades" character. The length of the game is pretty decent and there are very few boring points. The secondary quests allow for a more interesting game. The expansion is even better. All I can say is, "You have to play this game!"

Great Game

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.

Unhappy with this Game

I was not told nor was I able to read anything about by installing the game it would erase all my DS-II characters. I have uninstalled the game and thinking very hard on selling it to some other poor sap. How ever it was delived on time and in good shape and that's the best part of the game.

Disappointing

The game in itself is not too bad, an average game, I would say. Oblivion 4 is MUCH better. What is truly disappointing is the expansion pack, I have never been able to make it work, the game shuts down each time I try to launch the expansion pack.

Nice Sequel

Haven't reached into the expansion pack of the game yet, but I'm really enjoying it. If you're a fan of the original Dungeon Siege game, this is a pretty good continuation of it.

Cool

Consternation with inventory. Despite this one of the best I've ever played. I'm not an adventure FPS fan in general. But, I found this great fun. Past adventure games seamed too determinstic. I don't feel that here /c one can create a chara. beyond normal D@D type (but, determined nonetheless). Superior graphics @ just cool monsters. Inventory bites but, a superior game. I liked it!

TEDIOUS

I assume that I, like most folks who play computer games do so for fun. This game is really no fun at all which is a shame since it does have some good ideas. Unfotunately, these are completely spoiled by the tedium of much of the game. First of all, the camera perspective swings wildly as if it were being contrlled by a monkey on LSD. No fun. This camera stuff makes it difficult to focus on the enemies who are after you. Which brings up another point. You are always surrounded by foes who have at least twice the amount of life that you do and there are always many more of them so the only tactic you can use is hit and run over and over and over and.... No fun. Then there are lots of complex puzzles which are extremely difficult and really make the game drag. For me, I like games that flow, not ones which require lots of tedious problem solving. I have problems in my own life which I MUST solve, I do not want more riddles when I am trying to have fun. I found this aspect of the game so irritating that I turned to an on-line guide just to get through it. No fun. But for me, the worst feature of the game is the length of time it takes to fight some battles. I kid you not, one battle took
four hours to complete and I got no credit in terms of experience for it. No battle in a game should take more than half an hour let alone four. This was so tedious that when I could no longer stand it, I saved the game and went on with my life until I could resume the tedium. Much to my dismay I foung that when I returned, I had to begin all over again. Although I was eventually able to finish, I was done with this game. No fun. The only reason I gave this tedium any stars at all is due to the beautiful graphics and the interesting character choices. None of this, however makes up for the tedium and slow pace of this game. I found it frustrating and irritating, not fun.

Not for everyone

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?
