    Ruined

    By drizzt1133 | Review Date: Mar 13, 2011 | PC

    Complete letdown. I purchased DAO on the 360 and enjoyed it. After seeing the higher reviews for the PC version I decided to get DA2 for the PC. What a waste!! This game feels like a child's version of what a RPG should ... Read Full Review

    A huge step backwards

    By redviperofdorne | Review Date: Dec 10, 2018 | X360

    The original Dragon Age is as close to a perfect RPG as you are gonna get so I am not surprised that Bioware couldn't match it in terms of quality. What does surprise me is how Bioware essentially stripped down the best ... Read Full Review

    It's not the as the first one, but it's OK.

    By oc_ta_vi_an | Review Date: Nov 18, 2016 | PC

    I have played the first iteration and I must say I was fascinated by the pauses and thinking moments. Yes, you have to pause a lot in order to get through because some enemies are really damned difficult.All right, the ... Read Full Review

    Dragon Age II fails to live up to the hype Origins left for it, but still manages to provide an enjoyable experience.

    By Jimbowesker | Review Date: Oct 22, 2015 | PS3

    I could go on for days and days pointing out the reasons why I believe Dragon Age, the series as a whole, could have very well been the best new series introduced into the seemingly dying RPG/fantasy/adventure world. ... Read Full Review

    Not as fun as its predecessor, still a lot of fun.

    By spidegal | Review Date: May 07, 2015 | PC

    When first thinking about buying this game I was hesitant at first. I was new to Dragon Age and had recently bought the first game, which was a blast to play and had a great story. I heard many reviews saying it was not... Read Full Review

    A good game by itself, colorful and fast.

    By Chirodip_08 | Review Date: Apr 28, 2015 | PC

    Unlike the previous game in the series, this game has notable goods and bads. But since BioWare wanted to make a very different game from the first and tried out new things to make this title more accessible for all sor... Read Full Review

    Disappointing in execution, but still a worthy sequel

    By Speranza318 | Review Date: Jan 12, 2015 | PC

    There's a large difference between DA:O and DA2 in almost every aspect, ranging from combat to expansion on player choice to graphical improvement. What the game does right is it's expansion on the story. You have the... Read Full Review

    Linear but worth the time

    By nuclearkrizzle | Review Date: Dec 03, 2014 | PS3

    I really enjoy how Dragon Age 2 starts you out as an almost all-powerful version of your character then brings you back down to reality when you lose most of those cool abilities. It gives you a nice glance into the fu... Read Full Review
