User opinions of Dragon Age: Origins

I have enjoyed the suprises and the immersive story line. I don't find anything wrong or dated about the graphics but I have upgraded from a PS2 and am not used to graphics as good as this.

The characterisation is excellent and you get a real feel for the different personalities in Ferelden, esp. your own party of adventurers.

I'm not keen on the controls, I still make mistakes every now and then despite playing for over 40 hours. I think that's more likely to be my lack of experience with the X Box controller though because I'm also clumsy with Modern Warfare.

I enjoy the combat tactics system but I think it takes quite a lot of mastering. It's fun to experiment with though.

Overall an excellent game and certainly my favourite ever single player rpg.

Thoroughly recommended be but careful because this is addictive and used up all of my Christmas week (I have still only explored 30% of Ferelden).

I'd give it 90%+
