    Combat looks bad, really bad, just keep hitting the attack button until one of you drop.

    The combat isn't turned based, but it can be complex. Its inspired largly by the Baldur's Gate style of D&D combat. It actually works quite well, but the system is deep and can be intimidating at first. If you liked playing BD and Diablo (back in the day) you'll like this.

    combat looks kinda bad and generic, but the story/characters are probably the more notable draws for this game. Cool box art though.

    I'm sure this game is amazing, but it doesn't look like the kind of game I'd personally enjoy. I love the expansive world and everything, but the combat isn't my kind of combat. It's always nice to see great games like this come out though, even if I wouldn't like it too much myself.

    @Arab_Assassin22 according to GameSpot Demon's Souls is the best PS3 game this year. (see Best of 2009 - Platform Awards)

    Im having a real tough time choosing between this or Demon Souls, they both look like great games.


    I wish they'd release another elder scrolls.

    Just got the game for christmas.In Denmark we get presents the evening the 24th. Thought you wanted to know.

  • jackelzx

    Posted Dec 24, 2009 10:46 am PT

    I was thinking of getting this game after xmas but with a limited amount of cash I wasn't too sure about this game, now I've seen it I'm going to have a headache trying to decide what to get, this looks so good. I think I might get it :S yeh!

    @Flamerdragon

    that's what they're doing to KotOR(also a bioware game) with "the old republic"(another bioware game)

    Man! ya know it's gotta be good when a reviewer says maybe 2 things wrong with the game, then quickly tries to get you to forget about it. This is DEFINETLY a pick-me-up!!!

  • UltimateBohab

    Posted Dec 23, 2009 8:36 am PT

    i need this game to go down in price so i can afford it.

  • siddarthshetty

    Posted Dec 23, 2009 8:04 am PT

    I hope i will finish this game this week...

    thanks @thorwolfe for your help

  • Star_Gem

    Posted Dec 22, 2009 12:36 am PT

    @monchoago: The only smart thing you said in your 3 comments was that this game has nothing to do with Fallout 3 or Oblivion. That's true. And that's because they're not even from the same genre. F3 and ES4:O are Action-based games, while Dragon Age Origins is what people call a "pure" RPG (well, as "pure" as you can make them on a computer/console, anyway).

  • thorwolfe

    Posted Dec 21, 2009 2:10 pm PT

    @mostafa94 Depends, assassins creed 2 is really good game but not very long, it took me about 2 days to fully beat it including getting all collectibles. My advice would be rent assassins creed 2 and buy dragons age new since its same price at gamestop used w/ the deals going on. Or rent both either way works.

  • mostafa94

    Posted Dec 21, 2009 9:31 am PT

    l don't know should l get dragon age or assassin's creed 2 l just don't know dragon age is a good game and assassin's creed 2 is a good game as well but l don't know some one help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Gamelova08

    Posted Dec 21, 2009 8:06 am PT

    Does this game have a similar formula to the Ultimate Alliance franchise?

  • Gamelova08

    Posted Dec 21, 2009 7:59 am PT

    And all those Xbots and PS-freaks were saying that Consoles are dominate for RPG's.........what dummy's

  • NeverEndingXx

    Posted Dec 20, 2009 4:22 pm PT

    Wait, out of the consoles hes giving the upper edge to the ps3 because it looks better?! Don't get me wrong I'm a fan of the PS3 but its stupid to choose graphics over performance.

    Also I'm not a fan of this reviewer lol

    Game of the year ! clearly

  • SHERNEE

    Posted Dec 18, 2009 2:30 am PT

    This is an awesome game. I like how you have a party that you play with and not just by yourself. You actually start feeling for them lol.

  • Fatal-Chaos

    Posted Dec 17, 2009 10:29 pm PT

    Hmm it looks cool, and i love the fantasy style games. However im not really into this style of gameplay, i prefer more fast pace action, so i don't think ill play this game, besides there is so many games i want to get i want be able to play them all so i have to be picky lol.

    Posted Dec 17, 2009 10:00 pm PT

    You'll get a way better experience from the PC version than you do from the Console version. Think of playing WoW on Xbox or PS...that would be a horrible experience...gameplay is pretty much the same. As in Keybinds and clicking skills for quick access.

  • JKINGKONG2012

    Posted Dec 17, 2009 4:56 pm PT

    Idk if i should get this..or wait for Star Wars The old republic mmorpg

  • joksterz78

    Posted Dec 16, 2009 7:10 pm PT

    I have the PC version, and definitely is a better experience than the console version. No flaming intended.

    I may have to pick this up for the 360. 2 of my friends have it on the 360 and say it looks great.

  • XtremeDude09

    Posted Dec 14, 2009 6:20 pm PT

    Why did this have to come out at practically the same time ass mass effect 2. I think i will stick with me2, though if they were sold at different times i would have got this too.
