Dragon Age: Origins

Dragon age: Origins you play as a Grey Warden one of the last ones and it's up to you to build an army and defeat the Darkspawn! Dragon age origins may be old but it's one of the best RPGs out there if you like playing games that are story based and have choices that really affect the world around you and the story you will love this game! You are able to Customize your character and you can choose your characters backstory. The combat may be repetitive as you most got to press A then your character does all the work for you. But the game really focus on world building. Your companions have great backstories you will grow to love them. You can also Romance them. This game really gives you the best role playing game. Overall really great story driven game!

I don't know why the score for Dragon age has been dropping the last couple of weeks because it is a brilliant game. The amount of things you can do is just amazing,you'll need to play the games at least eight times (which i have) to do half of the possible things in the game. the companions that you travel with are all unique with their own back stories. and personal quests that are emotional and tell us more about their characters. the romance system is also awesome and shows us a more human side of the game. The choices are brilliant and question are morals and what we believe is right. The story is fantastic, it is classic fantasy with a dark evil god coming to destroy everything, it does this in a way that makes you think it is the first time you are experiencing it. This is my favorite game of all time because of the choices game play and characters. Also the epic emotional story that makes you want to keep playing again and again. Now Finally i will talk about what makes this game amazing. the origin Stories. you get to pick your back story which all are emotional and show loss and sacrifice. I Recommend this game and think it is a brilliant, fantastic experience.

Amazing! Diverse and unique locations, full customization of your entire squad, extensive dungeons with creative designs and enemies, an engaging story plot, companions with complex personalities and real weight in the story, and TONS of loot!

Dragon Age: Origins is an outstanding game on all levels, one of the best in recent years perhaps. If there was one thing that wasn't quite so good, it was that some of the outdoor background art were a little flat-looking. Other than that, the graphics were not bad at all despite the numerous criticism it has gotten on Amazon. The characters look well-modelled at least, the colours are atmospheric and help make the world and adventure believable and the voices do sync well with the lip movements. The music has moments where it is rousing and others where it's eloquent, overall it's well written and synchronises with everything with never a jarring note. The story is rich in detail and characterisation, totally immersive in its blend of fantasy, adventure and action and you are genuinely transported into the world the characters inhabit. The game play is varied and not overly-simplistic or overly-complex(even if at times Alistair was perhaps too easy to kill, but really that's part of the fun). What was also impressive was the balance of game play and story, they added so much to one another and there wasn't a time where there was too much or little of one. The writing and the voice acting stood out the most. The writing is incredibly intelligent and thought-provoking with some well-judged light-hearted humour for contrast, doing wonderfully in giving the characters distinctive personalities and emotional impact. The character interaction is strong and never stiff. And the voice work adds so much to those qualities, everybody is wonderful and nobody bad but in particular Kate Mulgrew is quietly firm and authoritative and Tim Curry has that subtle smarmy malevolence spot-on. All in all, an outstanding game. 10/10 Bethany Cox

For those looking to truly immerse themselves into an RPG experience this is it. Combined with amazing visuals, unique combat settings and varied character building options. Players face a multitude of decisions that shape the storyline (sometimes more so than others) but at the very least change how your allies interact with you and even how they fight. I can admit that there were times I felt like I had to step away because I faced so much decision, but this is a testament to how emotionally engrossed the game kept me rather than seeming forced or excessive. Dragon Age - Origins is simply everything you want in a Fantasy-based RPG. It's a pleasure to both watch and play on the PS3. Here's my money, BioWare, take of it as you please provided games like this keep coming.
