The graphics are great...game is exciting and runs very smooth.

The only bad point of this game is that you can not save at any time and start at the same location.

This was an excellent game with lots of fun and excitement. Hours of fun. Only draw back was that you need it to go thru. each level, you could not pick. Graphics excellent, interface excellent and game play excellent!!!

I pretty much got this for the multiplayer

I played DS 1 while in college with my roommates. I'm not a huge fan of the single player because I don't like managing parties; However I love to play the multilayer with my friends. This game is really good because you don't have to take it seriously and you don't have to play for hours to have fun.

Quite splendid

Ok, so this game is totally a cross between Neverwinter Nights and Diablo (or similar), but hey. I liked both of those games quite a bit, so I'm pretty happy with the game overall. The only thing that would have improved some of the quests is information availability. For example, some of the side quests are very difficult to flow through and there aren't little nuggets of information stored in, say, books or conversations that I could piece together. Really this was only two quests, and they aren't major, so it wasn't a big deal.

Users should know what kind of game this is. For those seeking to buy it as a gift, here's a quick rundown of what age groups you should consider.

There is violence and blood in the game, but it is very minor and the way the game is, visually, doesn't reflect realistic gore and destruction. It is quite engaging and requires a player that will want to read, figure out tasks, and generally follow a story line. If the person is looking for something that is a no-brainer, this game might tax their patience. Very long game play for the money and a lot of additional side quests to occupy them further. Personally, not being a parent and figuring that kids age 12 and up are already used to such things, I think this game is fine for teenagers and probably even younger. My little bro would have a ball playing this, and he's 12. Some parents, however, prefer to keep this type of exposure to a minimum and should consider that there IS violence and some gore.

Great game and well worth the price. I'm particularly fond of the fact that MS allows you to play the game if your My Documents folder exists on a network. Heroes of Might and Magic 5 blames MS for being unable to play the game in this way, so it was nice to see that DS2 worked just fine under these conditions.

DS 2--Dungeon Siege under siege

I find this game great, but slow running and a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time in installing, not including a number of patches, as well. Game play is great, but the mapping leaves alot to be desired. The 360 camera turning is a pain as well. The clues that one gets to find 'treasure' or quests are sometimes extremely hard to figure out. There are still a few bugs to give one pause in playing this game: Doors that don't open, quest items that aren't there, enemies that don't attack or are stuck in the walls or trees, etc.

Otherwise, it is a nice game with fair graphics. The engine is getting old and I feel that it should of had better graphics and an updated engine for the price.

Classic dungeon crawl

This game makes no pretence at being anything other than what it is--a classic dungeon crawl. Yes, the lengthy dialogs that drive the story line can get a bit tedious at times, and yes, sometimes the number of mobs that must be dispatched seems gratuitous, but if you like hack-and-slash, this is the game for you.

A GREAT GAME...BUT ONE SNAG

I loved this game, beat it over Christmas Break. Great game play great stuff etc etc etc. However I am disappointed that after you've beaten it, the quest items in Veteran and Elite are the same as Mercenary. The least they could've done is made the quest items better. But, buy it. If you played DS1, you'll love this game. Even if you didn't play the orginal, you'll love it.

Cool game, but...

It's great in concept, but the class system is lacking big time.

If you have a high end graphics card - this is not for you.

This game is not a great sequal. It suffers from featureitis and not for the better. The graphics are aweful (this is directly a result of the game not even understanding what a 7900GT is), the sounds still get positioned wrong (this existed even in the first Dungeon Siege games), and the controls really are lacking a bit.

The people who have complained about the game not understanding newer hardware are justified. The game does NOT understand ANY 7000 series nVidia cards, or any of the newer ATI. It simply is not written into the config files.

Those who claim that it works fine with their newer hardware, simply do not know that the game is running in software mode for them, and is actually much more worse than they could be getting.

The developers in their endless laziness have not bothered to make the game run at max ability with "unknown" newer hardware. Trying to pry a patch out of them for it, is not likely either.

I would suggest any buyers who have newer equipment that came out AFTER 2005, to NOT buy this game, as they will be disappointed with the serious bad performance.

On my 7900GT with 512mb vram, 3ghz AMD dual core, 2gb ram, X-Fi sound, and raid SATA hard drives... this game _should_ fly in blazing fluidity. Instead, it hurks, it jerks, it stutters, and it flutters... its appalling and disgusting. The game actually runs better on my old old ATI 9800 pro 2ghz machine, and an old IDE drive. Pathetic. It was a waste of my money.

Make an informed purchase.

The graphics and the game play were better in previous game. This one can get boring quickly. I stopped playing it with out finishing it.
