Summary: So-so
Review: I haven't played the actual game yet, but have tried out the demo, which goes far enough for one to get a good feel of how the game is like. - The graphics are great, yes, and the freedom of moving camera angle is very good.
- The character advancement system is quite refreshing; you can literally try to make your character capable of melee, combat magic and nature magic, or just focus on one skill. All in all, the game entertained me for a while, but I think I'm going so far as the demo's end. No more. Why? - Click, characters rush in, monsters die. Click, characters rush in, monsters die. Click, characters rush in, monsters die. Rinse, repeat.
- Story, anyone?
- Extremely linear; you can't even stray far from the path.
- Little to none sub-quests.
- DS could have been brother with Diablo II - mana potion, health potion, the mana and health fountain in that crypt... and the crypt looks suspiciously familar, too. Diablo II all over again, just in 3D. Ah, well. And I had so much hope, too...

Summary: SHREDDER OF A GAME!
Review: 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!

Summary: the whole story
Review: Graphically Dungeon Siege is a stunning game. Story wise - there pretty much is none and the gameplay is very repetitive. I would recommend buying it if you don't mind playing something just for the graphics, otherwise I'd look elsewhere. One thing to keep in mind, there is no support for this game. Gas Powered Games offers a email address that they do not answer and Mickeysoft offers a Faq page that doesn't even display half the time (no email support that I could find). If you have any problems (and I've had quite a few), you are on your own.

Summary: Too easy, too short, D2x still rules
Review: The graphics are gorgeous, gameplay is extremely repetative, and it crashes every 5 minutes. There is no patch yet, and the promised Siege Editor still isn't available. I finished the entire game in 17 hours and there isn't much replay value as every encounter is identical every time you play. You can have my copy for free if you stop by and pick it up.

Summary: Way too much Hype
Review: Great graphics. Multiplayer interface a little cumbersome but online play is loads of fun. A mulitude of websites offering MoDs/cheats to enhance game play (if thats your thing) Kinda slow at the lower levels but worth the work to get up to the higher levels.

Summary: Dungeon Siege Satisfies
Review: I find Dungeon Siege a superior game on just about every level. True it won't satisfy the hardcore Rpg'rs because of its somewhat thin storyline and if you're into heavy NPC interaction then you'll probably be disappointed there too, but the palate that this 3D world is developed on is, in my estimation, unbeatable. I applaud the team at Gas Powered Games for the obvious hard work that went into the graphics and applications. The detailing of the terrain is amazing, the atmosphere is rich and realistic, and I still haven't figured out how they were able to pull off the absence of load times, which further helps the continuity of the game. I've played BG1 and 2, Icwind dale, Planscape and Diablo 2 and this game, although similar in some respects to all of them, really should not be compared to any of them. Let the game stand on its own without tainting your opinion and see how it strikes you. It's worth the effort. Any complaints of mine are too few to mention. Dungeon Siege is a solid game. If you've got about 50hrs to kill and love immersive computer games, then buy it. If not, spend you money elsewhere.

Summary: What Diablo2 SHOULD have been
Review: The best RPG to date? Quite possibly! Easy to play but with enough depth to keep the hard core RPGers interested (probably) - it's kept me amused for hours, anyway. The game itself is really well thought out, all the controls logical and easy to use. The engine is superb, graphics fantastic and gameplay smooth and seamless. Even the camera works properly - near walls, trees etc you can always see the action. Better action than Diablo2, as complex as Planescape: Torment (if you want it to be) and as pretty & easy to use as Homeworld. If you like RPG even a little get yer hands on a copy. And can you believe, it's a MicroSoft game?!

Summary: Very nice!!
Review: I'm not the hugest fan of these RPG type games, I'm more of a builder (I can spend DAYS playing SimCity)... BUT..after I finally bought a decent computer, I got this game as a gift, and .... WOW! BEAUTIFUL graphics...absolutely stunning. Very real feeling, there are sounds that move appropriately around your speakers as your character moves, and the foliage swaying gently in the breeze is really trippy. My only comparison is Diablo, this game goes way past what Diablo had to offer. The packmule is a great asset (in fact you can get at least two). I noticed even the mule turns it's head with you as you sway the "camera" back and forth surveying an area. These kinds of details just thrill me. The only major drawback I have found is that I get lost easily. The "big map" doesn't do much, I can't seem to scroll past where my character actually is, even if I've been through the area before, so it makes it rather difficult to complete the missons. (I suppose I should note that I get lost easily in real life too, so I guess it could just be me, lol) I also miss the "Town Portal" feature Diablo had, but when you stack up all the goodies in Dungeon Siege against the few detractors, it comes out much heavier on the good stuff. If you liked Diablo, you'll just adore this game.

Summary: Better than Diablo II
Review: If you are a fan of the Diablo games, this one's for you. The graphics are stunning, the interface is very intuitive, and the classless character development system is refreshing. There are a lot of cool touches in this game, such as the pack mule, no loading screens when moving between areas, and only drinking what you need from a potion bottle. Siege is what Diablo II should have been. If you are fan of Icewind Dale/Baldur's Gate, you might be disappointed with Siege. The story element is very light, and roleplaying opportunities are almost nonexistent. Dialog is a one sided affair only. However, Dungeon Siege delivers as an exciting, action-packed game that should make you and the folks at Blizzard take notice.
