   finishing Dragon age: Origins made me feel like I'v played a true RPG. I don't usually play RPGs, so when I decided to play this game I wasn't exactly feeling like a "veteran" of the genre. The game has a predictable "Lord of the rings" tale that has that "good VS evil" feel to it. The real meat of the game lies in it's dialog/story and combat system which are all fun and interesting. the characters and the dialog options you have in a conversation are all brilliant, and probably the high point of the game.The combat itself on the consoles is decent, but seems like it doesn't fit console controlls to say the least, but it get's better when you know the characters well,especially after having so many conversations with them, and knowing their desires and conflicts.The RPG elements are all here, and while there is nothing groundbreaking, I still feel like the game is fresh, seeing how many cheap action games are coming out nowadays.The game is 2 years old but still kicks most RPGs that i'v played this generation in their butts. The console versions are genuinely worst compared with the pc version, so if you are playing the game on a pc add another point to the score. The game let's you role play and make decisions as you go. The game almost never forces you on one way to do things, and your opinion allways counts. This defines DAO for me, and is really what makes it stand out as a true RPG experience, at least in this generation.… Expand

   It's such a shame that the PS3 port of this game is so technically flawed. The tearing and unacceptably inconsistent frame rates on the PS3 are such a surprise given the average look of the game, and several audio issues plague what is fundamentally a great RPG when taking the story, gameplay mechanics, and characters into consideration. Thankfully those are what most RPG fans are focused on, so all the technical issues can almost be overlooked... almost. Bottom line is after playing a game like Demon's Souls, or Uncharted 2 (such is the way of first party titles) getting this disappointment of port of an otherwise solid RPG makes me wish Bioware/EA would have held off the PS3 for the extra time it was originally dated for if it would have meant a more polished product for PS3 owners. If you have an Xbox360 or adequate gaming PC I'd say pick up that version and pass over this craptastic port for the PS3, because the game is enjoyable at it's core; it's just the nasty exterior finish that makes me totally regret making this a 0-day purchase. Here's hoping that future patches can address some of these issues and deliver on my now dashed expectations.… Expand

   Unplayable on PS3. No isometric view, framerate issues, clipping issues, texture issues. Fugly overall. Also lag after battles, during dialogue sequences, and even sound effects lag when using menus. Disappointed @ BIOWARE for caring less.… Expand
