Good, hack-and-slashing, treasure hording fun.
Customer Rating: 




Dungeon Siege II Deluxe Edition, which includes the Broken World expansion, is a good dungeon crawl experience. If you are familiar with the first, the gameplay hasn't changed much. Point-and-click to move and to attack. The party system allows for different tactics and approaches to the many boss and mini-boss battles you'll encounter.
There are, however, some rough spots. Just like the first Dungeon Siege, once you have chosen a character progression path for your character, you're pretty much stuck with it until the end since the game itself discourages spreading yourself too thin.
Another gripe with the game is the rollercoaster difficulty level. You'll be coasting along quite well until you encounter a particular boss that has some particular trait that makes him nearly invulnerable. You'll die often as each death drops whatever equipment you were carrying making you race towards your tombstone to retrieve your good gear and hoping that you can make it there before you are cut down again. It can be very frustrating.
Overall, Dungeon Siege II is a solid dungeon-hack RPG. The graphics are good, the sound design is good, and the gameplay is familiar but still good. If you like trudging through forests, swamps, and, of cource, dungeons, in search of the hottest loot, this game will suite you just fine.
