Dungeon Siege 2 Demo Released
Gas Powered Games and Microsoft have FINALLY released a demo for the upcoming Dungeon Siege 2. I downloaded last night and was able to try it out today. If you are going to attempt this feat, make sure you have a good solid connection, the demo is 1.4 gigs in size. That’s right, Gigs. This sucker is huge.
Although the game takes place in the same land as the original, this new release bears little resemblance to Dungeon Siege. No longer are you a hapless farmer thrust into the middle of evil events. This time you start off as a mercenary working for the wrong side. From this beginning, the adventure unfolds.
Once again, Gas Powered Games has created one of the most impressive games I have played. I am currently playing Guild Wars as well, and Dungeon Siege 2 beats it hands down. The best part of the game—no load screens. I have no idea how they do it, but this is still one of my favorite parts of the gaming experience with this game. In addition, the special abilities that characters develop throughout the game are amazing. However, learning how and when to use them takes sometime.
I can not wait for the final, full version to be released. It should prove to be every bit as addictive a time waster as the first one was. Heck, I am still playing the first one.
