Dungeon Siege 2: Preview at Gamershell

“With all of the anticipation of Dungeon Siege II, my thought before starting to play this preview build was that it would be hard for DS2 to live up to my expectations.

At first glance, this upcoming title looked almost exactly like the first with a few tweaks to the graphics engine, but as I became drawn into the game I noticed the real difference the storyline and game play is amazing. Yes, the graphics are good, but if there is no plot no game play … then whats the point?

The first installation of Dungeon Siege was enthralling, the graphics engine was seamless and the scenes were beautiful, but it lacked in game play. The level/class system was simple, and the plot was very linear (read: monotonous). Thankfully, Dungeon Siege II doesnt look to by any of these.”

The preview lacks screenshots, but is still a good read. Check it out at Gamershell.
