Not as good at origins, but I loved it still (:
PostedMarch 21, 2011
Ever since the release of dragon age 2, it has been getting nothing but horrible reviews and disappointed fans, but in my honest opinion, it wasn't a bad game. Sure it wasn't as good as it's predecessor, but it had me hooked and I overall enjoyed playing it. I think that Bioware and EA games should have spent an extra month or so to work out the kinks, and to give a more filling ending. I was a little disappointed, but it was a fresh game, and it was still fun despite the obvious flaws. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoyed origins, and encourage players not to compare DA2 to DAO so much, for while it is a sequel, it's not a sequel, kinda like the final fantasy franchise. Here's a simple breakdown:......................................................................................... PROS: -Main character was voiced -Graphics were improved -Interesting storyline -Enjoyable and diverse characters -Simpler (and in my opinion better) battle tactics -Plenty of side-quests -Icons that told you how your character was to respond ..................................................... CONS: -Lazy on the map design (same maps for different areas) -Not as much character interaction (the worst flaw in my opinion) -The ending was disappointing, and I hope they add some downloadable content to "finish" the game -Main story was a bit rushed I still loved it (:!

Don't buy all the negative reviews.

This is a superb game. I am astounded that so many people would give it an negative score. Yes, the story is not as epic and there are not as many dungeons/maps as in DA:O. But in everything else, DAII exceeds DA:O. It is a solid rpg game and an even stronger stand-alone game. It's one of the best rpgs available on the market today. The gameplay itself is more simplified and character interaction is stronger. It is indeed Mass Effect with swords. 100% recommend this game.

A BIG comedown from Dragon Age: Origins
PostedMarch 20, 2011
I played Dragon Age: Origins and all the DLC through like 4 complete times. I don't know if I would even replay this once. The combat is much improved and looks great, but really that's it. The sheer amount of times they copy and pasted an area and reused it was sad. Every cavern looked the same.. I mean not the same colors and plants - but it was the same map with different areas open/closed. Very, very lame. Kirkwall got old, too, after a bit. There wasn't a strong human warrior-type man that I could get into, either. Anders was ok, but he's no Alistair...

I can agree with most
PostedMarch 20, 2011
OK first of all alot of the reviews are right on it. Its nothing like Dragon Age except it brings back some old lore and characters of the first one. I also agree they made it alot like Mass Effect 2. But for some reason I am still compelled to play this. This game is fun at points and it does have flaws to it. What i would have recommened that bioware did was rename this title. Shouldnt have named it Dragon Age II, it should be named something else and said it was a story during the events of Dragon AGe 1.
