If you enjoyed DS1, you'll probably like DS2. It is literally more of the same -- same engine, gameplay, and interface.

If you did not enjoy Dungeon Siege 1, read no further -- you will not like this game! Still reading? Well, Dungeon Siege 2 is literally more of the same -- same engine, gameplay, and interface. The Bad: My initial impression of the game was very poor when I found out that, years later, they were still using the same, outdated graphics engine of Dungeon Siege 1. While you can run the game at resolutions of up to 1600x1200, the interface does not scale properly and the graphics look absolutely horrid. Sound? Well, the voice acting is easily amongst the worst I've seen and the sound is, once again, the same engine as the original Dungeon Siege. Hire professional voice actors and not the programming staff next time! What's good? Well, it is Dungeon Siege and, if you are like me, there are not many RPG's out to play these days! It is unfortunate that you are limited to a party size of four unless you are willing to play the game over and over. This type of approach by the designers is absolutely retarded! Bottom Line: Only for Dungeon Siege *FANS*. If you thought DS1 was okay or sucked, avoid this like the plague.
