 Good December 16, 2008
K. Sachs (Melbourne, FL)
The game plays perfectly with no issues. The box however, was squished because it was packed in a small bubble wrap envelope. There was no damage done to the CD's but it would have been nice if it didn't look like a pancake when it was delivered. Other than that it's good for filling time when you need something to do. Kind of repetitive but they keep it interesting with the styles of armor, weapons, and creature pets you can have. Also, some of the boss levels keep do you on your toes. I'm also glad they give you the option to use classic settings like in the first game (such as one-click to attack constantly) plus a few others. The game, like others have mentioned, seems like Dungeon Siege 1.5 more than D.S. 2. Nonetheless it's still a good improvement over the first one but it's no Diablo (but it did remind me of it, frequently)

Though I do enjoy RPG's. I have yet to play this. I bought it as a present for my nephew. I do have another copy if it, and it is fun to a point. Not as much fun as the others.
An underrated experience worth having December 13, 2008
K. Miner (CO, USA)
When Dungeon Siege 1 came out, it was a whole new way of doing RPGs - the what-you-do-is-what-you-become character development, focus on action, good multiplayer and great graphics for the time made it a niche of its own. Dungeon Siege 2 is very much the same type of game with a few enhancements, which earned it some harsh reviews.
It adds very little to the core gameplay of the original, except in one important area -- story. DS1 was a simple hack-and-slash with a threadbare story. DS2 has an involving tale (very Tolkien-esque) that gets you into the game and gives a reason to kill the next wave of endless monsters. In addition to a full story, there is less appearance of linearity this time around, and it feels like a much larger and involved game world with a rich history, warring factions, and various races. It is a lengthy game with quite a bit of good content and more options on customizing your team of characters.
Fun, but with some hiccups December 2, 2008
Michael L. Downs (Minneapolis, MN, USA)
I bought this game to play multi-player with my son, since Diablo II has too much suggestive content. The game mechanics are not as good, but the graphic are quite nice and the story lines and quests are enjoyable. I have, however, had some problems with using characters for both single player and multi-player and with saving multiplayer games. Any time you import a new character in with an existing one, you have to start the quests all over, which is a bit dull, especially given how powerful the characters are relative to the monsters at the beginning.
From an interface perspective, spell casters don't have a good, quick, method for changing equipped spells without using the mouse (i.e. no hotkeys), and the nature mages are pretty useless without a party to support. The good news is there is lots of opportunity to hire or recruit npc's to work with you.
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.
