Despite the initial tone, GameOver's review of 'Dungeon Siege II' delivers a score of 80%:But upon playing the retail release of Dungeon Siege II, I found that not all that much had changed in the game. Instead of making Dungeon Siege IImore like Baldur’s Gate II, Gas Powered Games made it more like Diablo II. In fact, one could say that this game should be called Diablo III more than Dungeon Siege II, because it appears that every element of Diablo II that didn’t make it into Dungeon Siege is now in Dungeon Siege II. The teleportation system, the storage box, the equipment, the character skills -- all of these things are almost verbatim from how they were in Diablo II. So not only did the Dungeon Siege games not become Diablo killers, they lost the battle badly, as Diablo II seems to have invaded their territory and executed an effective sneak attack when nobody was looking. |
