Wow, really loved it December 15, 2005

While the search for the perfect game continues, this one was a contender. Graphics were the best I had seen yet, and the engine was very smooth. I liked the stereo specific sound effects. I played this with Yamaha speakers, and the frogs sounded so real, also the dripping echo. The linear plot was easy for folks like me, and I liked the progression, even if the ending was less than I had hoped.
I played this for way too many hours. I found several things: The Lost Witch in the little garden in the swamp phase never follows you. So if you just fight the monsters she sends, you can get your party strength up almost high enough to wear the cool armors you get. In the end, it was hack and slash, which gets old. And I had way too much gold at the end and not near enough at the beginning. I wish the monsters weren't permanently killed in all areas. Coolest monsters I've seen though. Liked the battle structure, a good mix of real time and turn-based.
I sold it after I played and won and played again, but I may just buy it back again...
Not as addictive as Combat Mission:Beyond Overlord though.
 Fun that Wears off April 30, 2005
Based on single player play, I have to echo other reviewers' claims about the game wearing off. The graphics, sound effects, game play are enjoyable. The weak, often non-exist plot is a problem at least for me, though people that liked Diablo 1 and 2, will like this game as people who enjoyed Icewind Dale. I prefer Baulder's Gate, Neverwinter Nights. I wish the characters had at least an inkling of personality, a few comments from time to time. A lack of soul as one other reviewer puts it. I've also had it crash from time to time, so save often, like in any other game. My computer has 1.2 MhZ, plenty of Memory and video Memory, so I can only blame the game for that. So if you don't like a plot heavy game, this might be the game for you.
Very good game, but disappointing for me. January 31, 2005

Yes, there's a lot that's good and impressive about this game. The graphics and sound are excellent. The gameplay is intuitive and easy to master. Comparing this game to the older game Diablo II, it certainly has some enhancements compared to Diablo II. The graphics are better, and you can move the camera angle around. You can command several characters, and build their skills however you like. But its hack and slash, minimal-strategy gameplay is equivalent to that of Diablo II. I've played it for several hours, and have not been impressed. I was hoping for and expecting a game that would take this type of game to a new level. But it doesn't achieve that. There's nothing groundbreaking or revolutionary here. Very linear storyline and gameplay.
Fun but not Baldur's Gate November 14, 2004

This game ran ok for me on an iMAC 400DV G3with 320RAM even though the box says you need a 450. The game was to linear for me. It was fun but not enough interaction between players and NPCs. There was one particular way of doing everything with no alternatives. The Baldur's Gate series was much more to my liking.
Good but not great August 3, 2004

Dungeon Siege is very fun at the beggining. I never experienced any problems on my G4 Imac. Sometimes it is easy to get lost due to a map that is way worse than Diablo 2's map and when you're only controlling one guy other mebers of the group wander off. The mule that carries your things stays behind and gets attacked without you noticing. One-Player is almost impossible to play again. Unlike Diablo which has many levels, there are only 4 quests in DS but they are way too long.
Multi-Player isn't that fun either. Many people can't host games, and all you do in multi is fight the guys that are already in single, fight eachother, or do quests. I hate the Multi-Player quests.
Basically, this game is awesome for the first 2-3 months or until you beat the game. After that it sucks. I haven't played it in 3 months.
