 Good, hack-and-slashing, treasure hording fun. November 11, 2008
Dungeon Siege II Deluxe Edition, which includes the Broken World expansion, is a good dungeon crawl experience. If you are familiar with the first, the gameplay hasn't changed much. Point-and-click to move and to attack. The party system allows for different tactics and approaches to the many boss and mini-boss battles you'll encounter.
There are, however, some rough spots. Just like the first Dungeon Siege, once you have chosen a character progression path for your character, you're pretty much stuck with it until the end since the game itself discourages spreading yourself too thin.
Another gripe with the game is the rollercoaster difficulty level. You'll be coasting along quite well until you encounter a particular boss that has some particular trait that makes him nearly invulnerable. You'll die often as each death drops whatever equipment you were carrying making you race towards your tombstone to retrieve your good gear and hoping that you can make it there before you are cut down again. It can be very frustrating.
Overall, Dungeon Siege II is a solid dungeon-hack RPG. The graphics are good, the sound design is good, and the gameplay is familiar but still good. If you like trudging through forests, swamps, and, of cource, dungeons, in search of the hottest loot, this game will suite you just fine.
Awesome fun when you are tired of MMO's or regular FPS September 4, 2008
I started playing DS when it was first beta tested way back when and Microsoft knew what it was doing in the gaming world-it was fun and new. Since that time Microsoft has fallen to the wayside of the gaming industry; other than HALO, and this poor title has been set out to pasture to die with all the other good games that could have been great. I pull this game out whenever I am burnt-out on fast paced FPS or MMO's that are way to complicated to enjoy sometimes. This game has timeless storyline and fun and amazingly still runs on my computer with MS Vista.

I got the game from J&R Music and Computer World through amazon. The game arrived late and in a flimsy padded envelope, smashed up and crushed. The game CDs survived intact but have red ink from the retail game box stuck to the data side of the disks. I'm going to have to try to clean them up before i install it as I expect the terrible condition of the package is going to make a return difficult if not impossible. The one nice thing is that the broken world expansion pack is included in the deluxe edition. My advice: buy from amazon, not J&R Music.
Love it! August 30, 2008
Love this game. I've had hours of enjoyment on it and i'm only on Merc level.
Hack and Slash Simplicity August 27, 2008
Without the ever sometimes mind boggling what will dex, str, energy, etc. do. Fun starter RPG for the masses that could lead to the more demanding and challenging worlds of NWN, etc.
