This trip back in time to the glory days of the PC is welcome, but it makes you appreciate the advances made by modern day RPGs Mass Effect and Fallout 3.

| Good review.
I do like a gritty, fantasy game such as Dragon Age to really sink my teeth into. I prefer playing games such as this or Oblivion to be honest. I'm more at home playing these type of games.
I do have a question though Wes.
Have you played the 360 or PS3 verison at all? If so, how are the controls? I'm assuming the PC controls are easy to pick up for this type of game but I wouldn't mind knowing the controller responds to pick up this game and get underway. |

| The information you're talking about is already in the public domain and has been discussed in many previews. |

| We've only been sent the PC version for review. I have played the 360 version however at various preview events. Obviously there's no tool-tip and the UI is different. There's no top down perspective either. Instead, radial menus, like those seen in Mass Effect, allow you to select party member powers and what not. It's perfectly playable, but in truth is best on PC. |

| Cheers for that. The menus and etc was fine with Mass Effect via the console. Sounds like Dragon Age wouldn't be no problem with the controls. Just the matter of which verison shall I pick! Xbox 360 or PS3. 360 with the DLC which can also work for ME2 or go for the PS3 verison and get future Dragon Age DLC....
Toughie! |

| Out of interest what spec was the PC you tested it on and how would you rate it's performance?
I'm also trying to decide between which version to go for, though PC and 360 are my choices. If the controls are similar to those of mass effect then i have absolutely no quams about that, but i get the feeling it'll just look sub-par on my laptop as opposed to the 360 version. |

| Single worse review I ahve ever read, like it was written by a 12 yr old console gamer? How is it archaic? How is the ME radial wheel better? The me radial wheel made it to easy to know how your response would go over, in DA, you never know how someone will react to you. The combat is vastly more involved, complex, ME was a RPG shooter, but good at neither. How is Dragon Archaic? Please explain, it is both more complex and deep, if by Archaic, yuo mean not dumbed down for the console masses, then yes I guess.
every other site has this game @ 9-9.5. Go back to your little console. |
