Summary: THIS IS NO DIABLO
Review: 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...

Summary: A very solid RPG
Review: Dungeon Siege has one reason to run and buy it right now, the graphics. They are simply amazing, no screenshot can do them justice. The gameplay is not bad either, but there is one serious problem. There is little incentive to level your archers or melee warriors. Attribute numbers are seperate from actual character levels, so all you really get is a warrior is level 20 rather than 19, big whoop. I think it would have been nice to include some class specific spells, sure an archer can learn some spells, but none of them help him be a better archer. In the grand scheme of things this is pretty minor, the fun factor of Dungeon Siege is pretty high, I have flushed most of this weekend away playing it after all. The pure atmosphere of the continuous world must be experienced to be belived. To take the hack and slash of Diablo II and transport that to a living breathing 3D world is no small feat, and should be rewarded with your hard earned cash. This game is certainly a ground breaker in many ways, and only a few flaws in the character development models detract from that and cause it to get less than 5 stars.

Summary: Can You Say Diablo III or NOX II For Dungeon Siege?
Review: If you love Diablo II or NOX computer games, you'll love Dungeon Siege. Dungeon Siege is similar to both Diablo II and NOX. You build up your characters just like you do in Diablo II or NOX with either fighting skills or magic spells. You explore different lands just like you do in Diablo II or NOX and go through different cities and towns. The main difference between Dungeon Siege and Diablo II and NOX is the size of the world you explore plus you can pick up more characters to fight with you throughout the game (up to eight characters). This game has one of the biggest worlds to explore I have ever seen in a computer game. The graphics, music, and sounds are all great through out the game. The only complaint I have about Dungeon Siege is trying to control the camera angle and the zooming in and zooming out features through out the game. Microsoft needs to put out a patch to fix these features and the game will be just fine.

Summary: Tedium has a new name.
Review: I installed the game, and managed to struggle through two hours of utter boredom before finally giving up on it. This is honestly the single most boring computer games I have ever run across-- and I'm old enough to remember Pong. One wonders if Microsoft ever bothered to playtest this thing.In a nutshell, your character wanders down a straight path, and things jump out at him. You click on the bad guys, and they are then blasted by one of four attack types-- which don't vary all that much except for the graphics. If too many ickies jump you at once, you can run back up the path and then pick them off one by one. There are tactics to master, there is no strategy. You don't even need particularly good reflexes. You walk down the pre-selected path. You point. You click. Can we stand the excitement? The graphics are reasonably nice, but with game play this simple and uninteresting, who the heck cares. I'd also like to note that most of the positive reviews of this game appeared BEFORE it was even released. Thank you, Microsoft Staffers, for weighing in with your opinions. I personally feel cheated for having wasted fifty bucks on this snoozefest.

Summary: Never seen anything to match this!
Review: In a word, "WOW!" I have never seen a PC game to equal this one! I had my husband purchase it for me on the day it was released, as a late birthday present for me, since we are avid gamers. I saw the review in my "PC Gamer" magazine. I love Diablo II, but am ready for something else. This game looked to be it! I am NOT disappointed! The graphics are clearer than any game I've ever seen! You make your first main character BEFORE you even see the introduction of the game. The character you make (down to the gender, hair color, skin color, and outfit) show up as part of the intro movie! Everything looks 3D. You can change the angle of the camera to all sides, even up and down! Your characters can go INTO the huts, teepees, houses, etc. to search around. You can have up to eight characters at once, including pack mules to carry your treasures. Characters can be set up so they ALL attack at once! No telling each character what to do and each creature (good and bad) taking one shot a piece. NOPE! I often have my party hold ground in one place while another of my warriors draw out creatures from a large group and lead them back to my party. Then all my archers, warriors, sorcorers attack AT ONCE! Often my sorcerer is set up to heal the members in my party as they become hurt! No watching your mana gage! Well, unless the sorcerer becomes unconscious. Tired of carrying extra armor? Fine, use a transforming spell and change it into instant money. But you get more money if you carry it into the next town. Need to run to the restroom? Don't need to go to town. If anything approaches your characters while you are gone, they defend themselves automatically! It is awesome! Set one character up to attack the strongest creature, one to attack the weakest, one to attack the closest, one to attack the farthest away, one only to defend the group if an enemy comes near, or any combination of them. You can even see your individual characters moving on the automap as you move! I could almost play it on the automap. Zoom in, zoom out, change angles, etc. Heck, even as I look at the armor of a character (to see if I want to change it for something else) I can see more than just a block to place a helmet or sword. I can actually see my character's outline! I can see the warrior, archer, or whatever moving, shifting as I place the items on! Exchanging items among your group is so easy! If you don't want or have a sorcerer as yet, mana regenerates quickly! Much quicker than in Diablo II. BUY THIS GAME!

Summary: Biggest Disapointment of the Year
Review: I'll keep this brief. Dungeon Siege was supposed to be the next big thing. Instead, it is a simplified--albeit pretty--Diablo 2. Considering how simplistic D2 was, this is not a good thing. The character development system was a huge miscalculation on the part of developer Chris Taylor. Definitely wait for the demo before purchasing this game.

Summary: Boring
Review: Talk about your mindless tripe. This game stinks of it. Wander around and mindlessly let your minions beat the monsters. If this game has any challenge, it is because your lost. The miserable overhead map shows you a limited view of where you have been. If you can't find the way through the confusing maze, you're hosed. The graphics are great. If you chose movies based upon effects, you will love this game. However, if you want depth and plot, look elsewhere. Choosing the character class has no purpose. You have enough minions that they just flog everything in the area to death. Very reminiscent of the old game Gauntlet without the fun. The multiplayer game may be more of a challenge, but I wouldn't know. I uninstalled it early in the first player game.

Summary: Great Game!
Review: This game is awsome! There are so many possibilities that one could spend forever exploring the land. It's very 3d. It's amazing how one could fall off a bridge and end up in a land very far away. That is what make a great 3d game. Not only is the single player mode great, but the multiplayer is awsome! Being able to design your own levels is an awsome feature!

Summary: Comment
Review: ...Other games limit you in advance what class you chose and what abilities you have... a fighter can NOT learn a magic spell...or anything else..which is WAYYYY un-realistic....and why should a sorcerer or mage NOT be able to use a sword ? Even a sorcerer one day could decide he wants to train his fighting capabilities...and then he'd get some experience in this area. In Dungeon Siege you chose WHAT YOU WANT. You can chose ONLY to train your melee/fighting ability...or you can have a mixed character. Of course if you split your experience and training (some goes to magic..some to fighting) then you might be not as GOOD in one specific field as a specialized character who decides ONLY to train ONE field...that's the most realistic thing to do it !!! Instead that something get's "ruined" (in your opinion) it provides even more options. All other limitations (like in certain other games) dont make much sense. Eg. i am a lvl 11 armsman in D.... right now. Does it make sense i am NOT able to get/buy a bow and shoot a arrow with it ? Just because the game developer decided it that way...?
