The game is the best one available for the PS3 as a dungeon crawler, and that's not really saying much. There are several glitches throughout the game that can make it extremely frustrating to play, and is virtually unreadable on a SDTV.
Some of the most daunting glitches are, primarily, the freezing issue, though the game tends to save after every quest and when returning to a rez shrine, it can still be annoying. The next would be the voices, as they sometimes just repeat (especially noticeable when creating a character.) There are also several graphical issues that haven't been touched base on in any of the two or three patches the game has had. (To be honest, the two-three patches made no difference in the game from what I saw...)
Other downfalls land in the lack of customization, the lack of much enemy variety, the fact that while playing co-op, loot is grounded to one of the two characters, and it often ends up with one character picking up loot that goes for the other character, and having no way to give it to the other player. Lack of quest variety, and immensely challenging side quests also tend to become a bother.
Upsides though, are that, all in all, for a dungeon crawler, it's alright to play, and takes forever and a half to get through the first play through, much less when going back on harder difficulties. With a max level of 200, 6 different classes, and skill choices, it will at least be a game that won't be completely mastered anytime soon.
At least worth renting, if you like dungeon crawlers, and definitely more worth it than Dark Kingdom in length.
