The basic gameplay is not substantively different than that found in the first Dungeon Siege game. You move forward a little bit along the predefined path until the hiding monsters run out at you, you kill the monsters and repeat - pretty simple, but it surprisingly works for this sort of game extremely well. Of course, there are a few points where the game does get a bit repetitive and tedious but they are few and far between. It's a solid dungeon crawl that doesn't innovate, but does satisfy. Just Dungeon Siege, love it or hate it! :)

Another very interesting part of the game is the ability to play co-op over the Internet. There are three modes that define the number of players and how many characters they may import from a party - two players can bring in three characters, three can bring in two each, or four players can each bring in their primary hero. The multiplayer experience is almost identical to the single player experience - it's just that you all share quests and quest items. Lots of fun at LANs, but I doubt it'd be very entertaining online with people you don't know.

Overall, if you liked Dungeon Siege you will love this game. If you didn't like Dungeon Siege then stay away because this is a lot more of the same except with better graphics and more in depth game play. I suggest you consider downloading the demo version and testing that out first. Then you will have your own opinion of the game, and can make a decision from your own knowledge.
