    Anyone who's followed the Dungeon Seige series needs this expansion pack!

    Not a great expansion pack – it's puny, has a thin, meaningless plot, and generally feels like it was thrown together in a great rush.

    Unfortunately, this expansion fails to add any worthwhile new gameplay mechanics or modes (multiplayer, anyone?), proving that some worlds are harder to repair than others.

    This expansion did a great job of continuing the story set out in DSII. It had many much needed improvements and was very enjoyable. Highly recommended!… Expand

    Dungeon siege 1 was a great game. Then they released the expansion - Legends of Aranna . Still ok. Then they released "Dungeon Siege 2" with the SAME graphics engine AGAIN. What started out looking nice is now years behind the curve. Basically, they've been using dungeon siege as a cash cow to provide money for the development of "Supreme commander". Those of us who actually liked Dungeon Siege have been short changed. Don't be fooled by the names; what you have here is Dungeon Siege 1.3 (Broken world). Just more of the same -- at full price! If they want more money let them try venture capitalists; they shouldn't try to hoodwink us.… Expand

    What good is an expansion for an already broken game? Well, it can fix things. Or it can add more dumbness. "Broken World" does the latter. It changes nothing of the fundamental gameplay flaws of the main program, it adds only more stuff to NOT play with. I was so deeply disappointed with DS 2. No, i'm not talking of the graphics. They're ok. It's the gameplay, the balancing, the terrible, terrible savegame-system. Nothing feels right, the interface is cluttered with unreadable fonts, tons of nearly sensless gameplay features are making navigating through the interface and the actual combat often a very frustrating experience. And yes, i've mentioned it. The savegame system! My "favourite"! For God's Sake, dear Developers! Why do you insist on implementing a savegame system, fitting for online play on remote servers FOR A SINGLEPLAYER GAME??? When i am playing with myself ( ;) ) i want so restore the game right at the place and moment i saved it the last time. With DS 1, you got it right. DS 1 was nearly perfect. A little fun arcade hack'nslash game. DS2 and its expansion are complete failures. And no, complexiy does not stand for making everything complicated!… Expand
