A fun and adventurous title. Plenty of sidequests, although I'd like a few more allow for as long or as short of a campaign as you want. Story isn't too bad, and while it's of a decent length by todays standards, traditional RPG lovers will find the story short and undertold. Battle system seems simplified and easy.
I loved Origins. But I'm generally untrusting of sequels. This had me pleasantly surprised. The cinematics are very nice. Love the voice acting. Combat system took a little to get used to but once you get a few cool moves it really becomes intuitive. All in all I would say this is a buy (not a renter).
Huge fan of DA1. But not sure what they were thinking with this sequel... Completely changed the fighting style, theres limited/no story line... Overall, less in depth as its previous.
Being a sequel to an amazing game is usually a curse and means the next rendition in the series has to high of a standard to live up to. I feel like DA2 could have been better then Origins if they took their time instead of pumping it out. Recycled dungeons and quest types brought this from a 10 to an 8. Rent it but you'll be sick of it sooner then the original.
Great looking RPG, with an updated combat system from the original. A few too many side quests for my liking, personally, and not as epic of a scope as the original. Great characters though, and very decent, though over-done, story.
