Dragon Age 2: A quality role-playing game

Featuring a riveting new storyline and eye-catching visuals, Dragon Age II, a sequel to Bioware's 2009 fantasy, role-playing hit, has already been hailed as a success by video game critics around the world.

The game, published by Electronic Arts, has received a 9 out of 10 from both the official Xbox and Playstation magazines, and has been proclaimed by PC Gamer magazine to have "the best RPG combat ever."

Dragon Age II is an impressive role-playing game that draws you into a world of dungeons and dragons, while adding BioWare's signature element: the decisions the player makes can drastically alter the experience of the game.

The game allows players to experience the rise to power of Hawke, a refugee who survives the destruction of his homeland, to become the Champion of Kirkwall. Hawke's rise to power is shrouded in myth and rumor, and these mysteries are the driving force in a story that spans an entire decade.

Players experience how the legend unfolds by gathering deadly allies, making tough moral choices and amassing fame and fortune.

Great voice acting and clever writing bring the characters to life and create a worthwhile gaming experience for just about any skill level.

Dragon Age II is available for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC and Mac. The game is rated Mature by the ESRB.
