Dragon Age: Origins (Platinum)

From the moment you press New Game you begin to shape your own story, whether you choose to be male or female, or a human an elf or a dwarf. Throughout the game as you encounter people you can decide how your character chooses to answer questions, all which effect the outcome of events in the future.
This game is very addictive and, because there are so many options, you can't help but want to experience them all!!!

Dragon Age: Origins is an RPG that really immerses the player in a massive world. The story really grabs you from the start, and continues along as you progress.

The game is pretty big, having clocked up 30 hours of play with only 50% of the world explored so far, it will definitely keep me entertained for a long time to come.

The combat system on the PS3 is easy to use, being able to switch between characters in combat and take direct control of them really makes or breaks some of the tougher fights. Leveling feels natural, doesn't feel like you have to grind to get levels. Enemies scale as you level, so you can really explore anywhere at any time.

The only issue I've had with the PS3 version of DA:O is the intermittent freezing. Apparently caused by the 3.30 firmware upgrade of the PS3, Bioware are working on a patch to resolve this issue. Can be annoying at times, but I've found it hasn't hindered me too much.

Overall Dragon Age: Origins is a very solid RPG for the PS3, lots to do, fun to play and has an engaging story and characters. Definitely a must have for any RPG fans.

Great game for rpg fans
Its got great graphics and a long story, havn't finished it yet
Very easy 2 get sidetracked in other side quests
The game freezes sometimes during normal gameplay, several times at the same place

But really, there's so much more to this game than making your party members fall in love with you. I guess that's the brilliance of it – there's so much to do! I'm a hardened JRPG fan, and after toying with the idea of purchasing this, I took the plunge. The first surprise was that the story is actually decent. I haven't finished it yet but I'm firmly hooked. The world of Ferelden is huge, and there's just so much stuff to do that you'll end up sinking hours into this shiny piece of plastic. The combat is typical WRPG, and there are frame rate issues, particularly when things on screen get hectic. Still, you'll get over it in the first hour or so. If you've got the PC for it, I'd definitely recommend that version, although the console one isn't broken by any means. Highly recommended!

If you are into hard core RPG then this is for you It may take a little time to come to terms with the leveling and skill/tallent systems but once you nail those the possibilties are endless. The quality of voice acting is good and the charater interaction is excellent. Hours of fun here and plenty of reasons to go back for a second and third run through. Also with all the DLC available for this game you can keep it fresh and it just keeps expanding!! Buy it, love it.
