Dragon Age 2: BioWare Signature Edition (Xbox 360)

So here’s another Bioware RPG franchise back for a second go. I’d actually forgotten a lot about Dragon Age: Origins by the time I got round to this. That doesn’t really matter, though, as this is an expansion of the world of the first game, rather than a direct sequel. The world It’s one of those ‘like Tolkien only fun’ vaguely D&D style worlds full of elves and monsters and such. You play as a young hero named Hawke, who can be a fighter, a mage or a rogue in typical RPG fashion – you don’t play as anyone from Origins. You’re first seen fleeing one of the events from the first game, but ... more

Dragon Age II (Xbox 360, PS3 & PC) Tested and reviewed based on the Xbox 360 Version Review by Ben Nacca XBL GT: Darkeyes2k7 PSN ID: Darkeyes2k11 There are some developers that never fail to impress.

Thankfully your character has a name and a voice this time around, upping the immersion factor considerably on the last game. However ... more

In all fairness, the first Dragon Age (Origins) Was an absolute flop in my opinion, I hated that game and got bored of it really quickly. I decided to rent this, I really don't know why when I KNEW I hated the first one. And I absolutely loved it, The story was great and the graphics were amazing. The gameplay was fun and fluid, unlike DA1. And it is the best RPG I've played in a couple of years. Except Fallout New Vegas. This is a really good game and people don't appreciate it enough. Dragon Age is a great experience overall. I'm no RPG fan either. So it's a plus. Gameplay/Playability- The ... more
