I am really enjoying this game.

I never finished DS I, I thought it was tedious. DS II fixed the problems of DS I and I played the sequel through to the end. There wasn't anything about the gameplay compelling enough to make me want to go through it a second time for the extra charactor slot, but it was a REALLY enjoyable H&S while it lasted.

I haven't experienced any of the bugs the one reviewer did, my characters imported right away. I'm having fun well into the second act.

If you enjoyed DS II, you should buy this.

More of the same, which is good

This is essentially just a new set of missions, along with two new character classes and a couple of new pets. There are also new item recipes. This extends a pretty fun hack and slash game. You can import parties from the original or start with new characters at the appropriate level. Unlike some expansions, this starts out at a difficulty level appropriate for characters who've beaten Valdis. I'm enjoying it.

Much buggier than original DS2

The worst bug apparently is limited to importing characters from original Dungeon Siege 2. Many (truly) folks, including me, can't even play the game because there is a limit to the number of characters, and this bug prevents you from switching characters in your group. For example, I tried to play a multiplayer party mode in which the limit was 3 characters. One early quest requires you to make a dwarf a member of your group. When you need to get your original party members back, the only way to do that is to release this dwarf to the Inn. When you do that, the game quits and when you start again, that character is gone from the game. There are many other problems related to this bug. This happened with both of my imported DS2 characters.

I would normally expect a patch to resolve this problem from the developers, but apparently the thinking is that this won't happen unless you import corrupted save files. My understanding is that they have not been able to figure out how these files get corrupted, even though they have been trying a long time. So I will be pleasantly surprised if they do find a way to fix this problem, but I'm not holding my breath.

In my opinion, the quality of Dungeon Siege 1 and Legends of Aranna was much better than anything after that, and Broken World is aptly named.

I don't know about broken world; I would call it broken game. Its very frustrating that you can't import characters from DS2 in any meaningful way. I enjoyed DS2 a lot, and just wish that broken world worked as suggested by the documentation. There's no mention of patches on the official site.

This was a let down from the 1st part. I finished the 1st part at level 84 and found that Broken World was either to easy or hard. You need it to be right in the level or it was to easy or hard. Their was not an even leveling system in place which made the game un-fun or boring. Game play was very short for the money too!!!!! About a weeks play 3 hours a day or if you where not leveled correct just sucked!!!! Graphics excellent, interface very good and overall feel very good....

The game was extremely short. Even with the 2 new characters and weapon recipes, I did not think the game was worth anywhere near the money it cost.

Pretty good but...........

Dungeon Siege II is a good game, excellent graphics, lots of action and variety. Great hack and slash melee action. Fun to play and worked well on my NVidia 5200FX 128mb PCI video card. The only negatives are that the game is very 'linear" and once you finish it you're not going to want to replay it because you'll know where everything is. Two of the puzzles were impossible to solve and I had to go online for cheats, just Google the temple name, the solutions are posted if you get stuck. I dunno how anyone could solve the puzzles without the cheats, there isn't enough information given in the game for a solution. The "pets" are an awesome feature and they make good use of all the junk armor you accumulate(they eat it and grow!!!).

Love this game

I loved the original Dungeon Siege and Dungeon Siege 2 and naturally the expansion was a no-brainer for me. If you like these types of games, you probably will like this one. If you've never played any of the Dungeon Siege games, you should try the demos first. Some people love them, others hate them. I like the type of fast-paced play and the combat that DS and ones like it (Titan Quest) have, but some prefer a slower pace.

Another Round

I've heard some negative things about this expansion but I've had a wonderful time playing it, and think the replayability with another character class should be good. I'd recommend it.

this expansion is fun but very hard. if you're in for the long haul,you'll like it. i started at level 45 and by the end of part 2 it was real hard. i feel it's worth the ten bucks i paid for it. bush hog
