Summary: Fun game, but not what I expected
Review: After reading other reviews I decided to give Dungeon Siege a try. I was amazed with the graphics and initial game play. Is very entertaining to equip your party with the most powerful armor. Like I said it is a fun and nice game.But it lacks something. It is very linear and very simple to complete. There are no side quests which is what makes RPG games fun. I was very dissapointed when I defeated the final boss and it was over. I said "thats it?,what about all the money I still have, what about the armor and weapons I still have in inventory, which I counldn't use because I needed to increase in strenght. My final word is borrow the game from someone and go through it once because is a good game. Don't buy it because for that amount there are better games out there that CAN be called RPG. Neverwinter Nights Rules!

Summary: Beautiful game
Review: Beautiful graphics. The maps, effects, models, weapons are all gorgeous. The money system is severely flawed. The story has some neat twists (especially with technology). But while the character models are 3D, they are pretty 2D once they join your party. Nothing like the Baldur's Gate characters. The boss monsters are lame. Very Nintendo. Once you finish it, you'll uninstall it. Still, it's worth playing once.

Summary: Dungeon Siege. How to make a game boring
Review: Dungeon Siege is the right game for you if all the interaction you need is to click once the mouse button and them go to get a coffee.

Summary: A tedious no brainer
Review: I bought the game cos the storyline sounded intriguing. Your character starts out as a farmer, with minimal fighting skills, who is sent off on a no. of (small) quests which involve, for at least 90% of the time, fighting and killing different kinds of monsters/animals/beings (trolls, krugs, gargoyles, swamp witches, hydracks, ice archers, spider droves, to name a few), In the process, depending on your choice of weapons, your character gets upgraded in his/her melee/archery/magic skills. Along the way, your character gets to meet several other characters with different skills, whom he/she can form alliances with (and whom you will have to manage as well, if you choose to include them into your team). The story climaxes in a final battle with the big boss (the overall mood and sceneries in the final chapter, as some gamers/reviewers have mentioned, is reminiscent of Diablo 2). The pros...?
- The graphics. As with most recent Microsoft games, they were really good (the waterfalls, the streams, the mysterious landscape of the Cliffs of Fire, for example). The transitions between the different sceneries were also fantastic..as another reviewer had mentioned, it is a "continuous gigantic world where your character journey seamlessly...". - The character options. You get a couple of options to build your character(s) the way you want your character(s) to be (skirmisher, archer, magician, sorcerer for e.g). The cons...? The tedium of repetitive killing. The lack of more interesting or complex elements (e.g. riddles, puzzles) which would have made the game more challenging. The fact that I had enmassed the max. amount of gold coins allowed at the beginning of the last Chapter didn't make things more challenging. :)
I spent nearly 80 hours on this game, with a team comprising of 2 melee fighters, 2 archers, 2 magicians, and 2 pack mules (hint: apart from being carriers for an assortment of stuff, they are useful for something else). This must simply be one of the longest game that I had ever played. Also, the game was kind of anticlimatic at the end...you kill the big boss, and that's it (oh, there's something at the end of the game that does tell you that DS2 is in the works). Buy it if you have nothing else to do.

Summary: Hack n slash RPG fun...
Review: If you love the diablo or icewind dale games you will like this one. It's easy to learn and very quickly you can get into the action and begin having fun. The graphics are spectacular and you don't need much computer to enjoy them. In fact the game engine is the best i have ever played. The interface is easier than icewind dale and you only need to control one player. Spells can be a little awkward to use and you may have to pause the game but the actual fighting couldn't be easier because your character will attack enemy units on his own much like units in an RTS game. There is no need to keep clicking away and you have more time to to evaluate your situation and tactics. Usually the strategy is to enter an area carefully, evaluate the scene counting the number of enemy etc. Then you usually end up on the perimeter picking off the goblins and creatures a few at a time thining them out occasionally backing away to drink some health potion. If you just go running into an area you will find yourself surrounded and dead so you need to pick at them gradually reducing their numbers. It's fun. Unfortunately DS can't be considered a great game like diablo2 LOD because it is too linear. The graphics are great but too much of the game is simply following pathways and fighting goblins. Like diablo this will bring out your competitive nature and make you coming back for more but i can see why RPG purists didn't care for it. Also like diablo, you can meet up with a buddy in the multi player and do some one on one fighting but DS' online community is nowhere on the same level as the vast community you find at diablo's battlenet. On a positive note two friends can join up direct through their IP address. I began with DS by playing the demo because i was such a big fan of total annililation a chris taylor classic. I found the fighting and graphics exilerating so i bought the game but GS for me has never been an obsession in quite the way diblo 2 and icewind dale have been. It is too much of the same thing. Game play-B
Graphics-A+
Strategy-C+
Story line-C
Replayability-D
Action-B Over all a good fun game but not a classic and not deserving of 5*. .............socks

Summary: okie, it just got better
Review: i used to hate this because it was boring, but basicly i found out i didn't like it becuze it was too hard. So now that i'm using cheats, its more fun, but it isn't 5 stars becuase its pointless hack and slash, but entertaining at some points, with cool magic, so 3 stars.

Summary: You Vill Go Vere Ve Vant
Review: I started off thinking this was going to be a great game. The graphics are great. The story line seems pretty good. But. The game is pretty much the same thing over and over and over just repackaged slightly. As you go up in strength, the creatures you fight get correspondingly harder. You add some more players but after the first extra player, the strategies stay pretty much the same the rest of the way. It's just as hard to get through the first few screens as it is to get through screens much further down the line. (Except for the "Boss" screens, some of which are pretty damn nasty.) And when I say "further down the line", I mean line. This game isn't like Morrowind where you can pretty much go wherever you want and do what you what. You are locked into a world with very few options except for the occasional semi-hidden sidetrack. There is no roleplaying in this game. Character development is just about gathering up as much stuff as you can get. And after you've got a gazillion dollars, what's the point? There are a ton of other games I'd prefer to play.

Summary: Good simple fun in the vain of Diablo.
Review: This game is very similar in concept to Blizzard's Diablo. It's an isometric dungeon crawl hack and slash fest. The main draw to this game is it's extraordinary graphics engine. Unfortunately, the story is pretty derivitive, and this game lacks the final polish that made diablo and diablo ii so fun. This game is beautiful, but ultimately it's simple gameplay will get old.

Summary: Great engine, boring linear plot
Review: The engine is lovely and detailed, the world is lush. But it's VERY VERY linear...at least the single-player game is.
