    In a fansite take on the game, <A href="http://www.gaspowered.com/ds2">Dungeon Siege 2</a> has been <A href="http://www.packmule.org/forum/index.php/topic,47.0.html">reviewed</a> by <a href="http://www.packmule.org/">PackMule.org</a>. Here's a bit of the fun:
    <br>
    <blockquote>The movement control scheme feels almost primitive after playing GW. Click. Click. Click. Can't even click+hold as you could in Diablo II. =( Far better would have been a scheme closer to that of GW where you press a key to walk forward, left, right, or back -- and use the mouse to look.</blockquote>
    <br>
    Um, clicking and holding seemed to work for me with the demo.

    Yeah, they're wrong. You can definitely click and hold without letting go of your mouse button. Your character will automatically go to attack whatever it is you're highlighting as long as you've got the mouse button held.

    Surprisingly ignorant review, considering that it's from one of the bigger DS fansites out there.

    You can't click-and-hold to just move, though.

    Yeah that's too bad. The game would be a lot slicker if you could do that. Diablo 2 allowed that but they didn't use 3d, either, so that's probably why.
