The Definitive D and D Style RPG of Our Time
User Rating: 9.5 | Dragon Age: Origins X360
Bioware has done it again. DA Origins is incredible. It follows the formula they are famous for and can be compared to the likes of Baldurs Gate and Neverwinter Nights. It is a deep, complex experience that you likely won't forget. With a large cast of characters and classes and the option of controlling each independently within battle, means that you will have a myriad of choices in battle. And trust me, you will need every resource you need to come out victorious against some of this game's tougher foes. Though not as tough as its PC counterpart, the game is still plenty difficult and it will challenge you during much of your 60 hour trek. Battles function the way they did in KOTOR, which is a great thing because pausing in and out of battle is the only way to survive the game's dragon battles. Not only do you have tons of choices in battle, but Bioware's dialogue system returns and thus you are faced with many choices that effect the outcome of the game. I won't go into the plot, but I will say it is spectacular.It often times reminds me of The Song of Ice and Fire series, which is a good thing. Anyways, I am gonna keep this short and sweet: this game is amazing. It only suffers poor fame rate in a few spots and the graphics are not the greatest, but neither of these hurt the game at all. Buy it.
