Incredibly deep and expansive, Dragon Age: Origins is one of those titles that can easily swallow up dozens of hours of play and keep you coming back for more. The fact that BioWare chose to include downloadable content, including a new character and side quest, on launch day proves that they have an extensive plan for supporting the game. Couple that with the fact that each character can be developed in radically different ways, and you have an adventure that earns its own place among BioWare's expansive RPG collection. While the visuals are a bit underwhelming and the difficulty is a bit easier on the consoles, this is still a great title. This is the kind of adventure that fantasy RPG fans have been hoping that BioWare would deliver – a game with a ton of re-playability and an incredibly vivid world that is the start of an impressive franchise. 9.0 Presentation A rich and vivid world, loads of mature themes and story expand the tale of Ferelden in front of your eyes. Inconsistent Origin elements and the gift feature weakens believability though. 7.5 Graphics Muddier textures and framerate hitches wind up making the visuals on the console a rough experience. Animations are fine, if a little stiff at times. 8.5 Sound Voice acting can be hit or miss, and some effects can go on for too long, but the music and the majority of sound effects are excellent. 8.5 Gameplay Gameplay is definitely action focused, and the radial wheels do a decent job, but the difficulty level is scaled down. 9.5 Lasting Appeal Set aside a large amount of time for this one – beating the game will frequently make you want to pick up and play again to see just how a decision or a conversation would be different. 8.7 Great OVERALL This game is available in my eBay Store at a good price: http://stores.shop.ebay.com.au/Mariio128-GamemateRead full review
Dragon Age is probably the best RPG made for a console system. I may be a bit spoiled since most of my RPG time has been on the PC spending hours playing games such as Diablo/D1/LOD and similar, but I have not seen one decent Role Playing Game for the console - until Dragon Age. The Awakening expansion adds countless hours to game play and even at full retail, playing on the easiest mode (casual), you will still get your money's worth with game time. An outstanding story line, great character customization, and the ability to really "choose your own adventure", making many moral decisions that effect game play instead of the typical, do this - do that don't forget this - style of game play. The rating of Good (4 stars) is simply because I think there is room for improvement. Overall, a very good buy for anyone looking for more of a true RPG on the console.Read full review
The story is deep and keeps u guessing. I am only half way through and am excited to see what happens next. it is a good rpg game, and i love the idea of making up a group, the best group, for the mission at hand. And the woman are hotttt!!!. The action and scenery are amazing, the characters all look somewhat different. On the down side, the load times are a bit slow, but, not to the point that u die from wait times. the only downfall i don't like, is that it is not a true open ended game per se. u have to take the jumps on the map and it drops out if there is an encounter, so, there is no looking for items or places that don't show up right away (like a fallout 3 or elder scrolls had), so, that is a bummer. However, the rest of the game from the interpersonal relationships with your group to your overwhelming task at hand, is a lot of fun. For my money, and this is the most important thing i can say: IF I COULD GO BACK IN TIME AND HAVE THE OPTION OF BUYING IT AGAIN, KNOWING WHAT I KNOW TODAY, would i buy the game again, and the answer is YES. I would most certainly buy the game again. It is that good.Read full review
This game has great graphics, good game play though some of the controls and weird it still makes for a good story and gives you tons of opposition. not only that but its one of though few games that have great story and lets you make your charter to be what ever you want you get to pick their look gender and everything right down it the eye color and cheek bones and even the name. its a mid evil game and it may not have as much free room but it gives you diffrent story paths base on what you pick your avatar to be and they are completely different from each other. its a great game for anyone who just wants to able to write their own story and have control over a lot of aspics of the game. you feel like its really your story.

This game really good rpg game by bioware which make great rpg all the time like Star Wars Kotor. If you like that star wars game than you would proberly like this game which kind of like it. The only thing is that the grapics is not the best I've seen from an rpg game on the ps3. The story is good so far and classes you can choose is from are good and you have cool magic you can learn. I like rpg games that have different choices to choose from and each one will efect the game and your characters that come along with you. If you love puzzles in your game than you also love this game which this game has. This game got good amont of replay value because you can and you must complete the game several time to get the different endings and to get the platinum trophy.
