If you liked past bioware games like mass effect, kotor, baldur's gate, etc this game will rock your socks off!
Graphics 9.0 : This is the least impressive aspect of the game even though I still love the graphics and art style. The facial expressions are a bit off and the textures are pretty dated. Comparing it to a game like Mass Effect that was released more than a year ago it is pretty lacking in the graphics department. Definitely not a deal breaker though and this game is still amazing.
Story 10.0 : The story of this game will take a hold of you and not let go. They start you out with a mini origin story to get to know your character better and it evolves into something way bigger after you complete that. The plot twists, political intrigue, different paths you can take, will all keep you wanting more and more.
Gameplay 9.0 : The game play is very fun though can get a bit repetetive at times. You basically control your party of 4 characters and have to manage to keep them alive in long battles. Managing your party and keeping everyone safe is very important. The loot you collect during the battles keeps things fun and you are constantly getting gear upgrades.
Sound and Voice acting 10.0 : The soundtrack and environment sounds are really amazing for an rpg. You really feel like your in the battle bashing someone with your shield or firing your bow. The voice acting is probably some of the best I have ever heard in an RPG. They used so many different voice actors and it seems like you never hear someone with the same voice.
Overall, Dragon Age is the rpg to get this holiday season and will last you a long time if you are like me and want to explore everything. I guarantee if you are a fan of rpg's you will love this game.
