 Good game, but a bit dated nowadays September 9, 2009
R. Schelbe
Well, even though the game is a bit older, I would definitely recommend this game to anyone who enjoys a good dungeon crawler. Has LAN and Gamespy for multiplayer fun, and there has been modding done so when you complete the original game, you can try out a good mod. 7.5/10
 ANOTHER BOTCHED SEQUEL's EXPANSION... September 17, 2008
NeuroSplicer (Freeside, in geosynchronous orbit)
When the original game is a groundbreaking masterpiece, its sequel rarely lives up to the unavoidable hype. There are notable exceptions of course (BALDUR's GATE II and MAX PAYNE II spring to mind). However, NEVER had I been so DISAPPOINTED with a sequel more than DUNGEON SIEGE II!
Following the innovative and brilliant original DS, the anticipation was so great that minor flaws would be forgiven. With DS2, though, it was one big blunder after another.
Contrary to the original DS (for which one had to physically tear himself from the computer screen) this one is a boring chore. Running back and forth to the base camp to barter equipement is a tedious procedure with all the fun sucked out of it. Moreover, no matter how much you improve your character (either leveling up or equipment-wise), your enemies simply match your abilities (or resort to crowding) resulting in NO CHANGE in the gameplay. I am not talking new enemies, but aren't higher leveled characters supposed to easily wipe out enemies encountered many hours before? This way, the whole game is nothing but a even-leveled blandness.
On a similar note: why was it necessary for **minor** enemies to have so much life? I was bored out of my skin hacking and slashing FOREVER! Increase the damage they can cause and keep it interesting - do not give them a longer life only to artificially increase the game's duration!
Oh, and the enchanting system was a joke - since the items found were much better than anything one could pay to have forged.
Graphically, DS2 is not even one step higher than the original DS. Shadows and particles may have increased, but characters (and equipment) have not. As a result, the heat of the battle (even on high-end systems) will find you in the midst of a disorienting...blur.
This is the...unavoidable expansion. It does not offer much more than a short campaign and some new trinkets. Importing your character from DS2 is a much better idea than choosing one of the badly-balanced pre-created ones - only...a persisting bug will not allow it!
This was the chronicle of a botched job foretold. With the exception of OBLIVION (which was an excellent game), one can count on 2K GAMES to...ruin any game franchise and kill its successful progress once and for all. Gaming history is littered with the relics of their failures: STRONGHOLD II, CIVILIZATION 4 (not until its expansion did this one became a playable game), SID MEIER's RAILROADS - the list is endless...They should probably stick to consoles.
My advice: avoid this stinker and, instead, try the original DUNGEON SIEGE (and its expansion). It is a MUCH BETTER GAME!

this expansion is fun but very hard. if you're in for the long haul,you'll like it. i started at level 45 and by the end of part 2 it was real hard. i feel it's worth the ten bucks i paid for it. bush hog

I loved the original Dungeon Siege and Dungeon Siege 2 and naturally the expansion was a no-brainer for me. If you like these types of games, you probably will like this one. If you've never played any of the Dungeon Siege games, you should try the demos first. Some people love them, others hate them. I like the type of fast-paced play and the combat that DS and ones like it (Titan Quest) have, but some prefer a slower pace.
Dungeon Siege Broken World February 9, 2007

This was a let down from the 1st part. I finished the 1st part at level 84 and found that Broken World was either to easy or hard. You need it to be right in the level or it was to easy or hard. Their was not an even leveling system in place which made the game un-fun or boring. Game play was very short for the money too!!!!! About a weeks play 3 hours a day or if you where not leveled correct just sucked!!!! Graphics excellent, interface very good and overall feel very good....
