Tags: Dungeon Siege II: Broken Worlds; Gas Powered Games1UP has joined GameSpot and <a href=http://www.1up.com/do/reviewPage?cId=3152545&did=1>trashed DS2: Broken World[/url], giving it 6/10, finally admitting that despite all the extra stuff, both the expansion and the original game are shite.
All this begs the question: Taking into account the length, graphics, and massive content of its competition (aka Titan Quest) and the inevitable Diablo III), is it worth 30 bones to expand an aging action-RPG? Broken World does offer everything an expansion should, after all: new game elements, new characters, tons of content, and fan-suggested tweaks. But, somehow, it still isn't all that much fun. The only conclusion to draw from this evidence is that the base game isn't very compelling in and of itself.No arguing here.
