Review by IGN

“Every modification to the gameplay and structure of Dragon Age II is a clear improvement over the previous game. The combat is more responsive and bloody, you don’t need to fight the inventory system anymore, and conversations are more engaging thanks to the adapted Mass Effect wheel. There are downsides though; the semi-linear story and repetitive environments have a negative effect on what is otherwise a great role-playing game. Despite these complaints, Dragon Age II is a game I’m eager to replay.”

IGN RATINGS FOR DRAGON AGE II (X360)
8.5 Presentation
The menus and interfaces have been cleaned up, so everything’s easy to understand and the screen isn’t as cluttered. The map is pretty slick, too. The framerate can get pretty choppy though.
8.0 Graphics
The environments are extremely pretty, but you’re looking at same ones for most of the game, which sucks. Low-resolution textures plague weapons and costumes. Pre-rendered cutscenes appear blurry.
9.0 Sound
The voice acting is really impressive, especially Varric’s. The sound effects and music are also nice complements to the game.
8.5 Gameplay
This is a game that lets you play the way you want to: be a jerk or a saint, play it like an action game or employ your own strategy. It’s up to you, and that’s great.
8.0 Lasting Appeal
Keeping you in one area for almost the entire game means you’ll probably get sick of looking at Kirkwall after the second Act. Still, I want to replay the game to develop different relationships.
8.5
OVERALL
Great
