Summary: A great surprise
Review: I am addicted to Div Div. I had to take time off from work to play this game. :) With many of the reviews comparing this game to Diablo, I was kind of skeptical of buying it. I have been very happy to see that the only comparison you can make to Diablo is the interface,and the life and manna requirements. But don't be fooled by the kids that say this is a Diablo clone. The story is a brilliantly unfolding drama every min you play. The side quests are numerous and meaningful, the graphics and the music are top notch. So far,I have nothing bad to say about Divine Divinity. This game should be recieving much more attention than it seems to be right now. If you are a fan of RPGs, or if you want to try out an RPG for the first time, this game will make you very happy!

Summary: Too buggy to enjoy
Review: I bought this game for 19.99, so I'm not so unhappy about the game as I might be. I loaded this game up on my laptop, which is far above the requirements for the game (1.6 GHz, 512 MB RAM). Independent of the graphical settings and with all the latest drivers and patches, the game crashes to desktop every 15-30 minutes without fail. I have yet to exit the game normally. Anything else about the game is unimportant if it doesn't work.The part of the game that I did slog through by using the quicksave repeatedly was well done, but nothing new. The first few quests were interesting, but once I began delving into the catacombs it became monotonous in the extreme. Level after level of killing the same creatures with the one offensive magic spell I had and a knife (which was better than any of the axes, swords, or staves I found). Summoning magic doesn't appear helpful as whatever you summon will simply wonder off into the distance and do nothing. In conclusion, if you can get it to work reliably, you will find nothing new from Diablo II.

Summary: Its great
Review: I can say I've only played the demo of the game. But ever since I've been lusting to buy it. That in its self says a lot since I only buy a very small selection of Computer games. In all it's a Diablo Clone but I don't think anyone would be disappointed. If in doubt the demo for the game is a 400meg file you can probably find to download or it can be found in the December 2002 PCGamer magazine.

Summary: An outstanding RPG
Review: I have been playing RPGs for many years and this is the best. The world is vast with lots of interesting characters, quests, treasure and a central theme that keeps you hooked. Unlike many other games of this type, Divine Divinity can be played without a hint book. Puzzles are not so difficult that only a cheat book will get you through. Additionally, the interface is exceedingly easy to use. The people who designed this game got it right! Be warned though that your older PC may struggle to run the game. It requires a fair amount of memory (will run on 128k, but I recommend at least 256k) and processor speed (probably a minimum of 700mhz). If you like RPGs, I think you will love Divine Divinity.

Summary: Reminds me of playing Ultima V or VI
Review: I was a big fan of Diablo 2, and read a nice article ... that said they were having more fun playing Divine Divinity. DD had already been out a while, so I was willing to take the ..gamble and try it out. It's been A LOT of fun so far. It's an RPG with plenty of non-linear quests. Any of the character classes that you select can learn to use spells or pick locks or advance in weapons. The music is good. The sounds are good. Many if the quests are fun. You get to poison water supplies, blow up supply trains, help soldiers commit fraud, find lost cats, and wash dishes! The graphics are reasonable. Colorful and nice. They're not trying to blow me away with a 3D environment. There are several nice big maps to explore. You can find and manipulate all kinds of object. You can rob people blind. You can be a hero, or a smart-alek. You can wear a pot on your head for a helmet, and fight with a broom. You can turn enemies into frogs and hack them up. Fighting is free form. By that, I mean it's not like some games where all of a sudden the adventure stops, and you must complete a battle. In this game you can fight, or run away, or use magic, or avoid the monster. Overall, it's reminded me of the good times I had playing Origin's Ultima IV, V and VI, back in the 80's. I've enjoyed Divine Divinity, and am still enjoying it. I'm looking forward to the sequel, Beyond Divinity. Enjoy! The down side: Buggy, even after being patched. Lots of NPC interaction makes it seem as if some quests are still ongoing, when they've actually been solved. Poor voice acting. Takes up about 2GB HDD space, more if you save multiple games.

Summary: Divine Divinity may be Divinly inspired
Review: I'm almost tempted to believe that Divine Divinity was divinely inspired. This is probably one of the more addictive and fun single person RPG's available. Period. As a D&D player and Game Master for several years, I highly recommend Divine Divinity to anyone that wants the same kind of "feel" as tabletop games. Although there are only three character types (Fighter, Mage, and "Survivor" [or "Thief" if you prefer]) you can choose to be either a female character or a male character, making six choices altogether. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Once you have this simple decision made, you are thrust into a vast world that you have to find out about before you can solve all the possible quests. I have a list of over 27 pages of quests and sub-quests so far, and I may not have discovered them all. This world is absolutely =huge= for a computer RPG. The graphics are great, although a little resource intensive. The game recommends a 450mhz computer with 128MB of RAM, (256 is "recommended"), a DirectX 8 compliant video card with at least 8MB of memory, an 800x600 monitor, and a few other features, as well as the most important item - 2.5 GIGS of free Hard Drive space. I suspect you should at least think about doubling =all= of that. I'm running a 800MB computer with 256 MB of ram and a 64MB DirectX 9 compliant video card, and I find loading times a little slow even on that. But it's worth it. I've played for about 200 hours of game time now, and still haven't found everything I need to complete some of the quests. I find my knowledge of RPG's invaluable. I can't wait until I get to the end - and I have no idea where that is. People, this game hardly got anywhere near the advertising that it deserved. Most people are discovering it by word of mouth. And this review is here to help you decide to try it. If you are into computer RPG's at all, I think it's worth buying.

Summary: Pretty good. Definitely worth the money.
Review: I've played Diablo II for many, many (way too many!) hours, and if you liked Diablo II, you'll like this game. There's a little bit more of a story there, and there are some unique items that make the game special. The only major complaint is the accuracy of pointing on items with the mouse - I think others have mentioned it before. But if you keep a finger near the "Ctrl" key for attacking your nearest foe automatically, that helps alleviate most of the risk associated with the difficulty of some of this. Also, this game isn't as hardware-intensive as some of the newer games, so you don't need the latest-and-greatest cards and chips to play it. And at the current price, this game is definitely worth the money. Since the part of my life with Diablo II, I've bought and tried Baldur's Gate II, Neverwinter Nights with all the expansions, Gothic II, Dungeon Seige and the Legends of Aranna, Morrowind and Icewind Dale II. Of all of these, I've only completed the original Dungeon Seige, put aside all the others, but I'm going to spend some time with "Divine Divinity". Good luck with it.
