any game that on the lowest difficulty settings ( the one that says not much chance of dying) then pits you in one of the first quests against things 5 to 6 times more powerful then you should be avoided. I feel cheated out of an hour of my life from playing this.
Do not waste your time with this game. It would be far better spent sending a nasty letter to the programmers.

If youve played skyrim and got that felling like you needed more games like that then this is definitly not your game reasons why? shure

1. you have a set character dont get to create your own
2.the screen is always aiming down on you you can zoom in but it dosent really help
3.combat blows attack enemys they wont even flinch sometimes

this is why i hate it
my reason=its just misleading bye the way it looks and how kewl it seems in reality it sucks :D

Graphics look... old, not great not new. I don't understand some of these reviews stating that the game looks great. Those reviewers need to upgrade their systems because they don't know what they are missing from other games.

Gameplay is massively massively boring. I can't imagine sitting and playing it for the 8-10 hours it supposedly has w/o side quests. The movement of the characters felt sluggish and the moves did not look polished. I was unimpressed by the talent trees. A choice of 3 initial skills total of 9 (wow guys don't strain yourself there).

As a player of the first Dungeon Siege I feel like the game has done nothing but go downhill from there.
Here gamefly you can have your game back.

I got this game expecting a fun co-op game that would keep me entertained for days upon end. But sadly i played this game for a few hours and relized just how bad it is.
The Fighting is god awful.
You cant acctuly "Cusomize" your character
seemed more of a PSP game than a PS3

THIS IS NOT DUNGEON SIEGE...

This game tries to convince you that it is dungeon siege, but it isn't for several reasons! 1. First off, it doesn't play like dungeon siege, but instead it plays more like a lousy Sacred 2 port.. 2. Tradition Most dungeon siege games don't tresspass on the story of the others, so as to tradition this isn't dungeon siege.. 3. The flexibility-- this game does not offer flexibility with your equipment... 4. the history and back-drop for the story is not dungeon siege.. According to this games history Azunai supposedly existed BEFORE THE EMPIRE OF STARS.. In the actual series history, Azunai was an ordinary mortal who challenged Zaramoth the UNMAKER, and the two of them died when Zaramoth's sword struck the shield of Azunai the defender the shock wave brought about the First Cataclysm which destroyed the Empire of Stars and laid waste to the world.. Azunai's shield was special just like Zaramoth's sword... also according to the series history the Azunite church was founded in the aftermath of the First Cataclysm to honor Azunai the Great Defender... According to this games history the Azunite church was founded in the early days of the Empire of Stars after some lady saw a Blonde haired child who had a piercing gaze in a Vision??? Huh? what??? According to this games history there was apparently no Zaramoth or Cataclysm in fact, from the "in-game" books I have read, so far the Empire of Stars collapsed when the different Imperial Legions went to war with each other.. and one of the main legions to cause the collapse of the Empire of Stars was the.......third legion??? Who tried to usurp the throne??? In the series history Azunai in his time was a ordinary person who stood up to a genocidal giant Zaramoth.... In this game Azunai is a Blonde little ghost kid who likes to invade peoples minds, so they can do great things??? Square Enix do us a favor and leave the dungeon siege universe alone.. Supervillain and gas powered games did a better job! Try before you buy!

This game was horrable! Unsatisfying fight sequences and finding items and gold looked as if it was frm an old nintindo game were the coins pop out. I give this game a 2 out of 10 for being a bunk game. dungeon siege came first and dragon age made it better gratz dragon age. over all bad game hate it wouldnt recomend it dont buy it.

Commercials always make things look better then they actually are. Yes, i'm talking about videogames, not McDonalds or whatever fast food joint you frequent. When i saw the commercial for Dungeon Siege i saw a cool, new, re-awakened genre of dungeon-crawling. Im not a big fan of dungeon crawlers, as i prefer more open-world RPG games like Oblivion and fallout 3. But i thought i'd give DS3 a chance.

Sound/Visual: Sound? Not bad. I didn't realize any faults in it big enough to put in this review. Visuals? Thats another story. When i started playing the game, my first thought was, "This is a Playstation THREE game?" as the graphics looked very PS2-era to me. This may not bug people as it did to me, but i like pretty games.

Storyline/Gameplay: The Storyline wasn't anything too amazing, just the usual RPG elements- some ultimate baddie raising an army to take over the world, some really na'ive heroes, and enemies that feel very recyclyed. Character wise, there are about four different types: an agile scout-type person (who looks very like Megan Fox. Hmm...) the bulky tank-like warrior, a mage specializing in offensive magic (blowin' stuff up) and then a defensive-favoring mage (preferring to cast shields and distractions).

Replay Value: None whatsoever. Because the levels have no variety or different paths, there's no reason to replay levels in my opinion. As much as it strives to be a "classic dungeon-crawler RPG" it feels more like a "Iron Man-esque dungeon crawler with a few different character types". You may like it, however i didn't. DEFINITLY DONT BUY... unless you like it that much.

when i first loaded up the game and saw you only had 4 characters to chose from i was highly dissapointed. then i had a thought that i you limited in selection then you should have some amazing abilities but you only get 9 total :-(. calling this an rpg is an insult to all the good rpg's out currently. i've had this game for 4 hours and have already prepared it to be sent back. Please do not waste your time on this game and go play an rpg where you can decide how you want to play your character and ignore this insult to the genre.

Worst RPG/Dungeon Crawler I have ever played

The title speaks for itself. What it doesn't say is how disappointed I was when i played this game. When the commercials for it first started playing, I was really excited. But when I got my hands on it and played for 10 minutes, that excitement turned into disappointment. This game is an embarrassment to RPG/dungeon crawler fans worldwide.

Do not rent this expecting a sequel to 2 of the better rpg PC games out there. Despite the name this game has nothing to do with those quality games aside from the kingdom of ehb being mentioned. Another game in the very disheartening line of thinking :we can make a boring game, slap a respected games name on it and advertise "for the ps3!" and well sell thousands of copies before word gets out. This game is a cookie cutter pick your legendary character and hit the X button alot while using your magic skill every so often to win. Its not even a well polished one. Nine skills per character (yes nine and some are uselss)and weak feeling combat make this a avoid title masquerading as a continuation of the dungeon siege line.

So many things wrong with this game, I just can't bring myself to even play it. If they had just redone Dungeon Siege II, it would have been fine, but they just had to mess with the formula.

Skip this game for sure.

Nothing about Dungeon Seige III could keep me from remembering the painfuly stagnant style of gameplay present in older video games of this genre, such as the Playstation 2 hit Champions of Norath or Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance. Gameplay gets a 1/5 due to lack of originality and repetitive combat styles.
The fact that the characters are non customizable and class locked doesn't help either. Miscellaneous Attributes gets a 1/5 for that.
The graphics are nothing like what I expected from the trailer, but they are not far off. Visuals gets a 3/5.
Another redeeming quality would have to be the voice acting; while it doesn't always match up with the character's mouth movements, the pitch and tone of the voice acting itself is spot on for the various situations that arise. Dialogue gets a 4/5.
The music for the game was weak to the point of almost non-existence, so Music and Sound gets a 1/5.
There are many other things about this game that just irk me, but I'll let Dungeon Seige III limp off for now. All in all, not worth buying, but rent to your hearts content if you wish.

Local/online co-op only

First off the graphics will not catch your attention. Nor will the endless, repetitive, linear story and missions. What will get you attached to this game will be the amount of fun playing with others. When all characters are being used by other players something familiar happens, something fun. Then it goes away when you start on the story, and hear the voice acting. However the sound graphics did tend to dull out the pain of watching what happens on screen. Then the action dies down, and your left pointlessly replying, to pointless questions. To top off this disaster that does get people playing together, save this game for someone else to rent or buy. Then, if your their friend, go over and play a few minutes to show your support of your friends awful decision. Then, look them straight faced and say, "it was a fun game to play together... wanna play battlefield 3? Im goin home and logging on, Ill send you an invite. Whats that? You spent your $60 on DSIII. Go and trade it in with some others and see if you have enough to get BF3."

Before picking up this gem, I read some of the mediocre reviews as well as a glorious 10 minute venting festival from a close friend on how terrible the game was. But my friend isn't graceful with words and I had looked forward to playing this game for very much, so I picked it up anyways.

The good

-The game is gorgeous. The lighting, shadow effects, scenery, armor/clothing/weapon detail, and levels all look fantastic all the way through.

-Easy local drop in and out. If you have a significant other or friend you enjoy playing next to, this game makes it very easy to sit down hit a couple buttons to figure it out and start hacking away. (Not exactly what most people who play this game are looking for I know)

The bad.

-Cookie cutter skill trees. You are given the chance to "choose" the skills every set amount of levels. These skills are already chosen where they go and what they are. The only choice you have is when in the game you want to unlock one skill over another. In the end though you are stuck with the same skill set in the same place. They attempted to customize each set skill with a branch of 5 points per skill you can choose for it. Each branch only has two choices and they all tend to either be more offensive or defensive. Though it does make the skills more powerful or staying alive easier, it is still the same skills with the same set up.

-Very slow start and boring overall story. Seriously, the first two hours was like watching the end of The Lord of the Rings for the 17th time.

-Short. If you avoid the the side quests, you are looking at maybe 8-10 hours tops. With all the sides, 12- 14 tops. Sent back faster! :)

-Coop = useless. Coop in this game simply means drop into someone else's game and give them hand for a while, then leave with nothing. Whoever is the party member joining the game is keeps no EXP, no loot, and no progress.

-Customization? DENIED. Don't like how you look, where your stats go, or how you skills are set up? Too bad.

Don't be a fool and buy this game like I did. My daughter wanted to get it because she liked the demo. Well the AI is really strange in this game. Whenever I would play with her it seemed like the AI was really super hard. We both died several times and frustration kicked in. She finally gave up Alas, then I learned how easy this game was. I beat it, after she quit, in about 5-6 more hours. Total must have been about 10 hours. Why a programmer would make it so hard to play local co-op on one screen I do not know.

The video quality was not good at all. About a 3

The sound quality was decent. About a 6-7

The voice acting was poor. I actually had Fallout fill-in actors. About a 3

Replay value is ok if you have the intend to tough it out and get the other trophies for finishing with each character. Personally, when the credits rolled I turned it off. There were a few trophies I could have achieved if I had played just a few more minutes, but to me it was not worth it. Replay score? About a 3

Multiplayer? Just plain stupid. If you join somebody's game you do not get to level up your own character. Why? About a 1 rating.

Overall Rating: 3-4

So again, I bought this game on pre-order. It has been out less than a month and I only got $18 bucks in trade-in value. Lamo Pokemon B&W is getting $20 and it has been out since March. What a joke of a game.
