Dragon Age II Reviews Are Now – Good, Not Great

Dragon Age 2 reviews have hit gaming’s web like a blast from the dark days. And according to critics all around, the game’s a good one, just not great.

In fact Eurogamer, which scored the RPG 8/10, said at the end of its review “For all the ideas that don’t quite take flight, for all the design decisions that feel restrictive rather than liberating, when the credits rolled I was already itching to devote another 40-odd hours to reliving it all again.”

Adding: “An enduring classic? Not quite. A satisfying epic? Absolutely.”

Get the full quencher past the break.

Eurogamer – 8/10

Videogamer – 7/10

Gamepro – 4/5

CVG – 9/10

RPG Site – 80 percent

GameInformer – PC – 7.75

IGN 8.5/10

    disappointing.
    was expecting this to get much better scores then that!
    but, then, the last time i actually agreed with a review score, was, well, never!
    still picking this up tomorrow.

    LOL!
    last time i listened to a review i ended up getting GTAIV.
    was already really excited for it, but everyone was giving it a 10/10 so i was expecting it to be really amazing!
    was not even close!
    not even as good as san andreas, 3 or vice city!
    alpha protocol a prime example, got really poor reviews but i loved it!
    deeply flawed, but the character customization really sucked me in and kept me coming back.
    neir another perfect example, got poor reviews but i really enjoyed it.
    just cause 2 another game which got poor reviews but i really enjoyed it.
    or even mafia 2.
