Dragon Age: Origins Reviews

The very first review of the Xbox 360 version of Dragon Age: Origins is up at NowGamer, and it certainly doesn’t fall into any sort of unfavorable category. The score is a 9.4/10, with this enthusiastic conclusion:

Like playing one of the most engaging games of your life on an emotional rollercoaster suspended between an excitable pair of moral pendulums. An engaging, emotive, thrill-packed joy ride of an RPG whose quality exceeds anything we could have possibly expected.

Can you feel the anticipation building?

UPDATE: They also have a review up for the PC version, with the same overall score:

Dragon Age will throw up the odd blemish, fleecing you of minus ten points in Lelania’s favour for asking for a cheeky kiss from a pretty peasant girl, while taking a mere five for the cold blooded murder of an old soak. You’ll need to nanny your group too as they have a tendancy to dither in combat. But such is the accomplishment of the Dragon Age story and the charming idiosyncrasies of its characters that it ties the game seamlessly together.

This is a masterpiece of a roleplaying game that thoroughly deserves to rub shoulders with Bioware’s archive of classics.
