KISS - keep it short and simple :-)
Barry's World rates it just 6/10 and says:
Dungeon Siege is probably best described as a "Marmite Game" - you either love it or hate it. Despite this, the Duke must still profess to being one of the few who just like it. It’s OK, but nothing special. The Duke had the same feelings towards Diablo 2 - a game now outclassed in its genre by Dungeon Siege, and as much as he hates to use such a staple review phrase, if you like the Diablo series (or have a donkey fetish), you’ll love this. Firing Squad has a rating of 96% and comes to this conclusion:
Who would I recommend Dungeon Siege to? If you liked Diablo II (and several million people do), you’ll really like Dungeon Siege. I think it’s better than Diablo II by a long shot. The action is better since you can travel with eight characters. The fighting is more tactical since your characters have so many attack options. The pack mule really helps you manage your money and equipment. The graphics are truly 3D with a fantastic art style. If you’re an RTS/Tactical gamer, you’ll probably like Dungeon Siege as well. There’s a huge tactical element in fighting with a group of eight. Even if you’re not into RPGs, Dungeon Siege is a good place to start. This is a game I’d give to a friend that’s never tried PC gaming before; it’s that good. UGO has an overall rating of B and mixed feelings about this game:
Does some things really well, but being marred by unremarkable gameplay and a tainted multiplay system hinders this one from becoming a classic. |
