Games Extreme have posted a review of Gas Powered Games/Microsoft - Dungeon Siege. They gave it a final score of 90%. Here is some of the review:
Chris Taylor’s group has created a lush and rich world, graphically, it’s all very detailed and all nicely put together. They’ve obviously taken the time and trouble to look at the various styles of architecture that would have been around in those olde days and pick up different key points. I must admit to wondering if they were somewhat inspired by Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings movie of the Tolkien classic when you look at some of the locations, indoors and outdoors. The texturing and lighting is nothing short of superb, and lends a gritty atmosphere to the game…you have to spend some time looking around at the lush foliage and dark stone walls of forgotten crypts just to see how magnificent it really is.
The models are all excellently created and animated, with lots of varied combat animations to go along with the fine texturing. I’m not going to spend hours talking about it though, let’s just say that I’ve often spent a fair few minutes staring at the details and grinning like an idiot as a skeleton attacks and battle begins…top marks for the level of model, object and world detail. I can find no faults with it.
