After playing the ps3 demo, I'm completely turned off to it. FYI, I didn't like the first Dungeon Siege very much and did love the Diablo series. The demo zones seemed pretty linear with the terrain giving more an illusion of freedom than anything else.

Dungeon Siege III offers fun combat with limited RPG foundations in what is a radical new direction for the series. There's certainly fun to be had, even if it is vastly different from its origins. However, it doesn't do anything to entice you to keep playing.

What is it about shiny new loot that makes action role-playing games so enthralling? There's something perpetually rewarding about seeing a heroic warrior graduate from lowly rags and a rusty sword to gleaming gold armor and a katana so sharp you can lop a cyclops' head with it in a single swipe.

Smooth flow of loot keeps you pressing forward; Your choices steer certain story elements; Simple but entertaining combat for up to four players

A fraction of the length of previous Dungeon Siege games; Absurd co-op limitations; The camera can be a pain

An interesting; skill based combat system that keeps things visceral and satisfying

A short adventure and busted multiplayer limits the game's scope and appeal to a niche market

Dungeon Siege III is an ok RPG that had so much potential going for it. Considering there are other RPGs on the market today; the likes of Torchlight and Trine, requiring someone to pay $60 for this RPG experience seems a little too much.

But achievement has obviously clashed with time; the studio has had not enough of the latter to fully hammer out it's ideas. The third Dungeon Siege continues in the footsteps of its fore-bearers, revolving around the the Kingdom of Ehb.

Third game in the Dungeon Siege series. Brings the series to consoles with a PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 release. Meet all the playable characters in your journey. Choose a companion to join your adventure. Impressive item system with plenty of item hunting.

Strong dungeon crawling gameplay – Loot

Not as good as previous games – Could use some more depth

Dungeon Siege III will likely make you question your expectations of a fantasy action RPG, and more specifically, whether you believe a single-player lootfest is worth sixty dollars today.

Satisfying; solid combat; Cascading system of abilities; Good graphics and animations

Adequate; albeit cliché; storyline; Predictable

I have to say I love nothing more than when an RPG lands on my desk. Sure, I enjoy other games, but RPGs are where it's at for me. It's especially exciting when an RPG I know nothing about turns up; with no idea of what to expect you can play the game with an entirely open mind.
