Frustrating fun that I can't stop playing.

This is a weird game to explain becasue while I enjoy the hack and slash, the RPG elelments, and the ability to jump from one character to another, there are level endings that become a battle of repetition. The level bosses I've faced so far aren't impossible to kill, it just takes forever. For example, I had to kill a Queen spider, which involved my wizard blasting it with lightening over and over and over until my fingers got numb and it finally died. I actually had to change from normal difficulty to easy to try to shorten these end level duels. The graphics are cool (great dragon), the voices are fine (Patrick Stewart is one) and the action is plentiful. There has been a lot of talk on the forums about bugs, but (fingers crossed), I've not had any and the game has been very smooth. I do have the DVD version, if that matters. Anyway, if you like RPG's, fantasy, and hack amd slash with minor puzzels, this is a good one to get while we wait for Dungeon Siege II and Dungeon Lords.
