Dragon Age: Origins Reviews

Since it’s a pretty slow news morning, I thought I’d go ahead and round up a few more reviews for BioWare’s Dragon Age: Origins.

RewiredMind gives the game a 4.5/5:

There’s a huge amount more that could be covered on Dragon Age: Origins, but it’s the sort of game that players really need to discover for themselves, no matter how much I want to continue gushing. For the RPG fan it’s an absolute no brainer and something that I am certain they will enjoy. Even those who liked Mass Effect but were previously put off by Elves and Dwarves in other RPGs should still give this a shot as despite the increased difficulty level, Dragon Age: Origins is very easy to get into. The content that is available now is vast, but with Bioware already offering 2 pieces of DLC (one included free with new copies of the game), it looks like there’ll be a fair amount of support for the future making this an even more tantalising prospect. Simply put, you’d be mad not to get this.

All Age Gaming gives the game an 8.5/10:

What Bioware have produced in Dragon Age: Origins is a solid game that rests it laurels on a good story with great character development. They have created a gaming experience where you feel in control of the story and that there are true consequences to what you say and do. There are a variety of races and classes each with their own subplot to keep you coming back. The fighting is fast and action packed and for the most part works well. The graphics won’t win any awards, but get the job done with the only real issue being some frame rate drops and loading freezes. If you’re looking for a game with a long campaign, some grit and plenty of blood then block off your holiday weekends because you have found it.

And GamingBolt gives the game a 9.5/10:

The radial menu in the console version is similar to Mass Effect while PC version of Dragon supports a classic hotbar configuration. The console versions certainly aren’t bad, but PC version by far is the better one. It looks significantly better than the console versions. Dragon Age: Origins reminds of good old days of PC role-playing epics. This is definitely not the game for those frightened of the idea of micromanaging a game to a great deal of extent. Ultimately its a fantasy RPG that will keep you up late at night because you have to see what happens next. Dragon Age will sweep you up in its world and when you are done, you’ll still be left wanting more.
