Dungeon Siege 2
When Dungeon Siege came out in early 2002, it was praised for having amazing graphics and a fast-paced, accessible combat system. However, for a role-playing game it was a bit shallow in terms of character development and story. Also, the game lacked the challenge to appeal to veterans of the point-and-click dungeon crawler. Developer Gas Powered Games took the criticism to heart, and set out to fine-tune the gameplay, as well as make the game a bit more challenging and involved for experienced players. The result is Dungeon Siege II, a solid effort that manages to improve on the first game to deliver a lengthy, combat-heavy dungeon hack that will certainly please fans of the genre.
Dungeon Siege II does a good job with its setting and maintaining the fantasy atmosphere. The environments are detailed, and although some of the textures look a bit blurry and faded, the assorted areas are varied enough to be interesting while still feeling like they belong in a cohesive fantasy universe. From shadowy forests to dark dungeons and barren deserts, it all looks natural, even down to the enemies and interactive objects that appear in each area. The character animations are a bit awkward, but the characters themselves are high quality, and all the equipment is represented cosmetically. The spell effects are hit or miss. Some of the status effects add a nice glow to your characters, but the elemental spells look rather weak.
In addition to the scenery, the sound goes a long way in enhancing the atmosphere in Dungeon Siege II. The fully orchestrated soundtrack from Jeremy Soule helps set the mood for each area, whether you're exploring a dungeon or just chatting with people in town. The sound effects are consistently enjoyable as well, and although you hear battle noise almost constantly in the game, it manages to avoid sounding canned. The only weak spot in the sound is the voice work. Just about all of the characters in the game have speaking lines, and although a few characters are done well, most of the acting is pretty bad. To give the voice actors credit, though, they didn't have the best dialogue to work with.
Dungeon Siege II is a solid game with plenty to keep you busy for hours. The biggest problem is that the game is just too easy, and even though there are increased difficulty settings, you have to put in a good 40 hours just to unlock the veteran setting, and another 40 hours to reach elite. Unfortunately, the story and gameplay really aren't deep enough to warrant that many trips through the game. But, there haven't been a lot of good dungeon crawlers lately, and Dungeon Siege II does a respectable job of filling that void.
I think the powers are perhaps the greatest addition as compared to the previous installment. I really liked the first dungeon siege but its combat could be awfully boring and automated at times. Powers is a great way to spice things up. As your character levels up you will soon notice that your powers are recharging a lot faster as well. Especially using gear that is enhancing power regeneration and putting skill points into such skills.
Gas Powered Games and Microsoft Game Studios created the dungeon-crawling fantasy romp Dungeon Siege for PC. The game was released in 2002. What did Eurogamer think? "Dungeon Siege can be fairly entertaining in short bursts, but given the total lack of plot and character development there's little to keep you playing in the long run except the promise of more pretty graphics, new trinkets and more powerful enemies to kill."
