Dungeon Siege or Bust...

I've played numerous Fantasy RPG's, and few have fired my imagination and awe right out of the box like Dungeon Siege has. I tip my hat to you folks at GPG.
The graphics are THE BEST to date. The seamless travel between areas is both refreshing and at the same time totally unnoticed.
I've only played the single person game so far, but I'm looking forward to trying the online multiplayer game.
I have to give 'em TWO THUMB'S UP!!!...

THIS IS NO DIABLO

I waited and waited for the release of this game. Back last year I waited and then they pushed back the release date to this month. Finaly I got a copy of Dungeon Siege on the day it became available. With all the hype and buzz I thought that I had last found a game as good as Diablo & Diablo II. Was I ever disapointed. Have you ever played Dark Stone? Dungeon Siege is much more like that game than Diablo. But Siege does not even match up to Dark Stone. The graphics are not so hot, combat is dificult after you get three characters in your party and my bigest complaint is that the game plays so dark you can't even see the bad guys your fighting against! In a number of battles I found myself killing the mini-boss or boss and not even knowing it until after the battle was done!
The one good feature is the pack mule. But a pack mule does not a good game make. In the end Dungeon Siege is nothing special...I guess I'll just have to wait for the real thing...

Nice graphics, little gameplay

The first ten minutes of Dungeon Siege was great! Decent graphics, smooth animation, great soundtrack - and then the tedium sets in. A lot of little annoying user-interface problems. Sound effects for creatures that grow increasingly obnoxious. NO story or plot. Gameplay that couldn't get any less linear. Click-click-click-click. Calling this game an RPG is a misnomer at best. I'm extremely disappointed in Gas Powered Games and Microsoft, they could have done so much more. The opening and menu sequences feel quite unpolished. Pushed out the door too soon to beat NWN? I think so.

This games rules!!!!!!!!

It is basically Diablo 2 in 3d. So if u like diablo u will love this game. Unlike in Diablo u can have a party with up to 8 people or 7 people and 1 mule or 6 people and 2 mules etc. And theres more custimization in DS.I just beat the game on easy it took me about 25 hours and i didnt explore every single dungeon i saw so its a fairly long game. And if u r playing on normal or hard and u cant get past a certain place u can change the diffuculty while u r playing.There r 3 multipayer worlds the first is for people that just beat the game on single player and want to go online for more quests. The 2nd is for newbies who just got the game and want to go online right away and the 3rd almost all dungeon (70 percent). Thats about all i know about the game.

None Better

Simply put, this is the best game out. There are some great games schedule to come out soon, but until then, this is the by far the best. The game has countless monsters, treasures and graphics. Awesome graphics. Easy to use interface. I haven't encountered a single bug!!! Extra testing demanded by Microsoft to meet X-Box requirements definitely paid off. The only beef is that the game is somewhat linear. Unlike Baldors Gate or Might and Magic, there is basically only one way to go. Still an excellent game. Hats off to Gas Powered Studios and Microsoft.

SHREDDER OF A GAME!

This game rocks! If you want to do nothing more than kill everything in sight, Dungeon Seige will have you rolling with wicked laughter!

The graphics are awesome, the voice-over talent is the best I have ever heard, and the game moves so quickly it is virtually impossible to get bored!

The soundtrack will make you believe you are creating another installment of Lord of the Rings. The magic items go on forever, party members you kick out for more "capable" ones will curse you as you walk away, you can watch as hundreds of arrows pierce you foes (if that is the perverse kind of thing you are into) until he wails into the netherlands! You are in complete control of marching orders, attack formations, and who lives or dies.

Get bored with the "overhead and behind" camera angle? No problem; in fact, if you are confident you can vanquish the latest wandering enemy without much intervention on your part, just rotate the camera with your mouse and zoom in for a close-up effect of your fighter slashing the hell out of the forementioned unlucky foe, with unexhaustable abandon! You may even, dare I say, detect a smile on your hero's face?

You can play the entire game with one hand on the mouse, and the other cradling your favorite beverage.

Buy this game, lay waste to the land, and then match your self-made heroes on the internet multiplayer against some unlucky dude in Europe!

Valhalla awaits! Happy gaming, and give my regards to Odin!

Best RPG Game I Have Played

I have played through this game twice, once as a fighter and
once as a mage. I love the user interface, graphics, audio and
inventory management. This game includes many interesting
dungeons and the AI for the monsters is great! I often
chased one into an ambush, very cool. You will never find
a better RPG area then the Swamp, fantastic! Yes, you are kept
on the single path but so what? You are free to explore without
getting lost and exploring is the name of the game. I completely
recommend this game for hours of enjoyment.

Wow,
What a cool game. Totally fun 3d game engine. it has a top down approach but a true 3d world. I love the combat, it is a lot of fun and pretty easy to get the hang of - you can play in real-time game or pause and issue orders. Spells are cool - party system is easy to use.

I can't tell you mush about the story yet beacause I havent got that far yet.

my only gripe is Max resolution is 1024X860 - I have a geforce4 4600 and a 21 inch monitor and I would like to crank it up more. But graphics are great at that res

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuude!!

1 word: AWESOME! What can I say: the graphics are great, it's a cool story, you get to blow up various monsters, AWESOME! Some of the key features that make this game so great:

* The world flows completely throughout the entire game. Whenever you change locations (i.e. outside to inside or above ground to below ground), you just go. The game doesn't have to load anything. You just walk wherever you need to walk and the game never pauses (except for the occasional cinematic)
* Pack Mules!! These RULE! Tired of having to choose what stuff to carry back to town and what stuff to leave behind? Or worse, having to make multiple trips to and from the town to sell off your excess inventory? NO PROBLEM! You can take along a pack mule (or 2 or 3) to carry that stuff for you. They simply trudge along in the rear of your party, and when you get to the next town you unload them (although the unloading part can take a little while).
* The graphics are (what else) AWESOME! Totally 3-D, you can zoom waaaaaaaaay in and see every detail of your character (or characters, since you can control a party of up to 8!) Or you can zoom out to get a broader view of the landscape and see what's going on around you. And a STUNNING landscape it is! Beautiful lakes, bridges, trees, snow capped mountains, and an underground lava chamber with lava flows that bubble all around you. Plus, you get to see EACH spell you cast in detail! Listen to the soft whisper of the healing wind; watch closely as the flaming skull hurtles itself toward your enemy; feel the power of the fire rain as it pummels down from the sky. And if you score a prime hit, watch your enemy literally EXPLODE into chunks on the screen . . . duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude!!
* Gameplay is easy to control - either by clicking on hotspots on the screen or by using hotkeys that you can modify to suit your needs. Even with 8 characters, it is no problem to micro manage each one individually.

What else can I say - AWESOME!

An entertaining game

I felt that this was a great release. This game is very similar to Diablo, but also brings new elements to this style of game play. Overall, I felt that this was a very entertaing game (I couldn't stop playing it until I beat it) and would highly recommend it to all Diablo fans.
