Dragon Age 2 on 360

Dragon Age 2 Screen Shots

Dragon Age 2 is a Adventure game available on the 360. It can be played in Thirdperson Singleplayer modes.

Dragon Age 2 is a Adventure game. Shooting games present a world in which the character must shoot their way out of dangerous situations. They provide the player with an array of weapons tailored to specific tasks. This unavoidably involves a combination of fisticuffs and gun based fighting that dictates the violent nature of these experiences. Beneath this harsh exterior though is often an intricate tactile game - and this is usually what drives the player.

Dragon Age 2 can be played in a Thirdperson mode. Third Person games view the world from over the right shoulder of the character being controlled. This enables you to see the character you are controlling as well as their surrounds. Although not as immersive as first person, third person games enable more complex moves and interactions with the environment.

Dragon Age 2 can be played in a Singleplayer mode. Single Player Campaign games focus on one player's experience. Rather than collaborate with other players either locally or online, players progress alone. The campaign style of gameplay offers a connected series of challenges to play through. These chapters work together to tell a story through which players progress. Single player games are able to focus on one experience of a scenario, so that it is usually a richer, more visceral game.

Returning Gamer review Tue, 10 May 2011

Dragon Age II has deep, character-driven subplots but to find them you have to deal with a tedious, repetitive world. I'm too old now for games to feel like this much work.

There are some constants in gaming, things that have remained unchanged even on my return to the medium. For example, the studios that excelled when I was growing up are still the ones leading the way. I know I'll enjoy the next Valve, Blizzard, Nintendo EAD or Rockstar game.
