  1. I loved the small hidden references throughout the title that made be just laugh to myself or in one case tell by friends about.
  2. The wait to live as a dragon has been worth.
  3. The pacing is poor and it's a technical wreck. [Feb 2010, p.82]

    I can’t recommend the Xbox 360 version of this product to anyone. The occasionally glitchiness of the PC version was much more pronounced on the console, particularly when it came to enemies getting stuck in the environment.

  1. I was searching for a good RPG game,so i saw some videos on youtube about this one - Divinity II: Ego Draconis.I found it interesting so i got it and let me tell you what - it went beyond my expectations.In the beginning the game is not so much attractive (i can say it was rather boring),but as i was going further (when i actually started to figure out things) i started to like it.First thing to notice is that,it's not a game where you just click on enemies to attack them.It kind of gives the feeling that it's a mixture of hack 'n slash with rpg which is very cool,by saying that i mean you can just dodge attacks by jumping backwards or even jump and attack your enemy,and on very intense battles where you are weak against the enemy you can just jump off a cliff and escape (it won't get you killed).Another thing i liked - a LOT of quests to do,you aren't doing a single quest in the game,you can talk to other people in the game and help them (if you want),and then you get rewarded for it.Also this game is huge and it's not just for show,you can actually find some secrets everywhere (as well as more quests) ,but in some other cases you have to search a lot in order to find something that is needed for a quest (which i find cool in video games like this one).Also the music in the game is brilliant,it totally fits with all the places.

    One thing i didn't like : When i'm low on health and mana,and i don't have any potions left i can't rest like to sleep somewhere or to get healed from somewhere,i gotta wait till they restore,and another bad thing is that not all traders sell potions.But anyway that's not a big problem once you become better in the game - actually this game gets way less rating that it deserves and i really don't know why.

  2. A solid RPG at a resonable price. Good graphics, sound and voice acting, sufficient depth. From reading reviews, I believe it must have been patched- I am 4 hours into it and have not experienced any glitches. This is the game to fill the gap until Skyrim comes out. Seems more like a Bioware or Bethesda release. Bravo Atlus! Keep it up- you could be a contender! Expand
  3. Starts out strong and shows a lot of promise in the first few hours. and yes you can turn into a dragon!! and its a cool looking dragon! unfortunaly its also a weak and pretty useless, cant fight enimies on the grownd and i keep flying into invisable walls kind of dragon. neat concept, but I lost all interest after I realized that the dragon gamplay was unfun and more like a crappy mini game than acctuall RPG combat. Plus the ending will really piss you off. Expand
  4. Yet another game with good idea's and no execution. It's lack of polish is criminal as it's full of bugs, glitches and other game ending fun. It has a interesting story but due to the spotty voice acting and tedium you really have to grind it out to care. Graphically it's regular Xbox quality, gameplay wise it's repetitive and clunky. Enemies don't scale with you or respawn, instead areas are either weaker then you or much much stronger and often wandering or exploring a new place will result in fighting a impossible battle (Open world? Laugh) The supposed saving grace of this game was supposed to be the dragon combat however it's entirely boring and uninspired. Rent if you must but be warned. Expand
