    Great game. Some hard parts (like in the thieves guild, my friend keeps dieing) but a good and competitive game.

    It's an above average game. the repetitiveness of battles is reminiscient of diablo. there's no skill really involved. you kinda walk up to them and press the a button rapidly for the most part. But even with the repetitiveness, i found the game a bit too short. it will take you about 10 hours to get through - very small for an action rpg. overall it was quite enjoyable. i did It's an above average game. the repetitiveness of battles is reminiscient of diablo. there's no skill really involved. you kinda walk up to them and press the a button rapidly for the most part.

    I wish the gamecube would make more games like this. Fun to play multiplayer, and it never runs out. THe only complaint that I have is that they didn't make DA 2 for gamecube!

    Your classic uninspiring dungeon hack and slash "Rpg". note the quotes around rpg. as far as hack and slash collect treasure games this one is ok.

    Far better than the original Playstation 2 and Xbox Versions, see my review on the PS2 version to see what I mean. Sure it doesn't run at 60 FPS the whole time, sometimes even going down to 10 FPS, but it ahs far more saves which mean far more possibilities.

    Does have a few stumbling points, but challenges and entertains with exceptional graphics, and wonderful sound.

    Manages to walk the line between hardcore RPG and straight action. It’s fun and it’s polished – definitely worth your time as well.

    If you like your RPGs heavy on the action, Dark Alliance provides some great monster-kicking gameplay.
