Free Form Character Development a Big Plus

A truly fun RPG (role-playing game), very much in the image of the game Nox, but with a greater degree of in-game player choice. At first I was a bit put off by the dated graphics and bizarre name, but from what I read the developers of the game seemed devoted to giving the players the ability to choose a style of play they would find enjoyable. To accomplish this the game features a very free-style skill and stat development system.

Though you must select a base class (mage, thief {survivor}, warrior) you have an amazing degree of control regarding the customization of your character. You can choose to learn skills from any of the three classes. For example your character could become a pure warrior, mastering the warrior skill set and maxing the strength and constitution stats; or a hybrid warrior with high intelligence and the ability to pick locks and summon magical creatures; or a mage who wields a bow and has a truly epic dexterity; and so on.

My one complaint... the story is simply too derivative. The more RPGs you play the more you will say to yourself: been there, done that. You will always be the Divine-Chosen-Holy-Messiah-Savior-{what's his face}, out to save the world from Lord-Emperor-Evil-Chaos-Darkness-Demon-{so and so}. This game is no different in that respect, the story has been told a thousand times before. Maybe that's how they ended up with a name like Divine Divinity... 4/5 stars.

Superb!

I got this game years ago and I kinda skipped it due to newer games. I recently installed it and gave it a try. To my surprise I was totally amazed by this lil unknown game. If you love the diablo series then you'll love this game. Its just as addicting and just as long as Diablo 2. Although the interface is a lil diff, its easy to get used to. The music is prob the best part of this game, the soundtrack in my opinion is a masterpiece. I deff recommend this title for anyone whos into hack and slash games. I just wish I tried this game years ago, I really missed out on such a solid game.

Great RPG with a lousy ending

I loved this RPG. It has an amazing amount of gameplay, with a great storyline, and a reasonably good interface. Because it was so addictive, I probably played it way too much. However, the ending is a complete let down. I won't give away the ending, but nothing is explained, the animation is extremely short, and it's very obvious that Larian studios was just trying to hook people for a sequel. Disappointing to say the least.

Finally, something to scratch the Diablo itch

I know I am coming late to the party, but since Diablo 2, I've been wandering lost in the monster empty wilderness. Stronghold is great, Dungeon Keeper II was way too short, everthing else is a pale shadow. Then my husband put this game in my hands. I AM ADDICTED. I NEED A 12 STEP. If you're trying to lose weight, I suggest you start playing this game, because you won't eat, or sleep, or clean your house or go to work or function as an adult. This game is LONG. It eats your soul. I crave more. more .. more.....

Fantastic 2D graphics

This game has unbelievably gorgeous 2D graphics. The attention to detail is awesome. Special effects sparkle and glitter everywhere. The soundtrack also is magnificent. But other than the graphics and the soundtrack, much of this game is CRPG by numbers, something like a beautified and simplified version of the Baldur's Gate series. Multiplayer game fans may be disappointed that Divine Divinity is for solo play only. Lastly, I have to warn you that playing this addictive game from start to the finish is an accomplishment that may take up to 100 hours of your good time.

Divine Divinity tops Diablo for hack 'n slash fun

I found this game by accident at Target recently for only $10. Thinking this game sucked, I went home and checked out online. It looked interesting, so I took a chance and picked it up. It has now become an obsession and I play it constantly. This game is old, no doubt about it, but I believe this is one of THE best action/RPG games I have played, and I have played them all. Diablo, Baldur's gate (console version) Sacred, Titan Quest, and many others you probably never heard of can't touch this one. I love this game and can't think of anything bad to say about it. Sure, there are a few problems like some minor bugs, but they mostly have been fixed with a patch, and they definitely do not detract from the overall experience. For $10, BUY THIS GAME NOW!!!

Best Old Game You Never Heard Of

I bought this game back in 2003 from Amazon to try to replace my addiction for Diablo II (which I had played for over a year and was growing tired of). I put the game away and never played it. Just recently I stumbled accross it and decided to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised by how much fun it is and how addictive it is. Beautiful 2D graphics (much better than DII) that really show an attention to detail by someone, fun gameplay, a bit of brains and humor in the story and a great musical score. All in all, it's like Diablo crossed with Morrowind. And I love it. It's hard to believe it didn't get more attention considering how great it is. If you don't mind the dated graphics do yourself a favor and buy this game. It's a great single player RPG.

This is a great game, yet it is so addictive and takes a long time to finish. I still like it though.

This game is terrible

This game is horrible, I played this for about 3 hours and was extermily bored. If you want to get a good game look at Diablo or Icewind Dale 2, they're alot better.
