  • Summary: Dungeon Siege combines the immersive elements of a role-playing game with over-the-top intensity and non-stop action. Dungeon Siege plunges you into a continuous 3D fantasy world where you face off against an army of evil that has been unleashed. You begin as a humble farmer, and as you travel through the world and gain new skills, you can gather a party of up to eight characters to aid you. Dungeon Siege impels the player into one over-the-top battle after the other as the storyline unfolds and a larger plot begins to reveal itself. A world of adventure where you can explore sprawling landscapes in a seamlessly unfolding story awaits. [Microsoft] Expand

    It not only takes what other games have done and makes them better, it creates a style and ambience that is all it’s own, this is one game that no gamer should miss, it really is just that good, and that is why I have no problem giving it a perfect score.

    There’s never been a better action RPG for any system. Yes, it's even better than "Diablo."

    A solid game...Those that liked "Diablo" or just want something that will entertain without taxing their brain should be more than happy with a copy of Dungeon Siege added to their collection.
  4. Ask yourself if battling through hundreds of combats, most of which require no strategy other than kill the other guy first, sounds like fun.

    Yes I know its a 10. This one deserves it. I used to play dungeon master and eye of the beholder, and this is simply what a game should be like. FUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNN!!! Expand

    This is a good game. Sure it had some balance issues, and a few AI problems, but in terms of what it was, a hack and slash RPG, it did that excellently. Was it the best game, no, but it doesn't deserve a 1 or a zero. Oh yeah, K. Dog, you need to get your facts straight, Microsoft didn't make this game, they just produced it. Gas Powered Games was the developer. And they did a good job here. Expand

    Pros: Amazingly nice 3D graphics. Some cool levels (such as the alien level) Cons: A bit too easy. Lots of copycat stuff from Icewind dale, Diablo II, and Baldur's Gate. Expand

    Wow, is this a gorgeous game or what? The models, animations, textures, the freeze-frame action - just superb. Unfortunately, the game itself is completely tedious - it's basically just killing the same monster over and over again, with little room for tactical innovation - but I can't wait to see what else is done with the engine.

Everything you've heard about the genre is true: there are a lot of terrible movies, and a lot of Uwe Boll movies. (And those categories are definitely not mutually exclusive.) We look at the "best" and worst examples of games-turned-movies.
