Dragon Age 2

I enjoyed Dragon Age 2 immensely. It's a story about one man's rise to glory. You will laugh and cry but in the end you'll have lots and lots of fun, whilst slaughtering darkspawns. Get it.

Dragon Age 2

Dragon Age 2 is a fantastic title has changed a lot over its predecessor starting with the most spectacular combat system and less oriented strategy and allows you more control over what surrounds the battle. Another important change is the decision-making system very similar to mass effect but with a greater weight in the plot. As bad the game is that it has taken a big leap graph and the first game will spend hours talking with various characters who populate the big city where the main plot is developed. Therefore dragon age 2 should be a must buy for any gamer who likes action games.

Decent RPG, different from DA : Origins

More button-mashing than its predecessor, streamlined design, less of a world to explore and repetitive quests. Still good buy for Bioware fans and Dragon age & Mass effect series fans.

Whatever happened to the Wardens???

Dragon Age 2 is fairly detached from its predecessor in many ways. The location is different, the characters and indeed the very way the combat and story progression works. Even the art style has little resemblance. As many people purchasing this game will do so after playing the first title in the series, I feel it important to stress that this game is vastly different. But is it any good? I will not discuss the story here to avoid spoilers, but will instead focus on the gameplay. Combat is perhaps the biggest change, now being far more button bashing though pausing to issue new orders is still a vital part of the game. It is for the most part fairly enjoyable and the combat effects are quite impressive. Character progression has been improved in my opinion, with branching skill trees and a large number of classes available though your ability to customize the appearance of party members has strange limitations. For example, a set of armour you find may only be equipped directly to the main character. The character interaction, a key part of the previous title, has been streamlined but is for the most part still excellent. Quests are perhaps one of the things people have mostly complained about in this title as many areas are constantly recycled, so you can expect to be sent to the same set of caves many times to tackle different enemies. On the one hand there is loads of content as a result and the game will take many hours to beat, on the flip side the immersion in the game world takes a steep hit. Anyone who remembers the hundreds of beautiful drawn areas in games like Baldur’s Gate will know what I mean. Despite the vastly superior graphics the world seems less alive here. Overall then Dragon Age 2 has many good qualities and it is a bargain at the moment so I recommend it to most RPG fans and even those who enjoy action games. Those hoping however that the game would be much like its predecessor but with more detail had best check out some gameplay footage before buying.
