    Anyone who’s followed the Dungeon Seige series needs this expansion pack!

    This expansion is nothing more than the quintessential extension of the base game. [Oct. 2006, p.106]

    The graphics are based on the same engine as before and thus have shown little improvement since the last iteration of the franchise. This is an expansion but not an overly long one.

    The lacklustre story plus the dated look and feel of Broken World spoil Dungeon Siege II’s reputation a bit.

    While the expansion improves gameplay in a number of important ways, including the inclusion of two new cross-classes, the actual campaign and story leave much to be desired.
  6. Total Video Games
    60
    Additions such as the re-emergence of the Dwarves as a playable character class will be welcomed by gamers disappointed by their omission in the main game, and the extra spell classes at least widen a player's armoury.
  7. Game Revolution

    Unfortunately, this expansion fails to add any worthwhile new gameplay mechanics or modes (multiplayer, anyone?), proving that some worlds are harder to repair than others.

    Dungeon siege 1 was a great game. Then they released the expansion - Legends of Aranna . Still ok. Then they released "Dungeon Siege 2" with Dungeon siege 1 was a great game. Then they released the expansion - Legends of Aranna . Still ok. Then they released "Dungeon Siege 2" with the SAME graphics engine AGAIN. What started out looking nice is now years behind the curve. Basically, they've been using dungeon siege as a cash cow to provide money for the development of "Supreme commander". Those of us who actually liked Dungeon Siege have been short changed. Don't be fooled by the names; what you have here is Dungeon Siege 1.3 (Broken world). Just more of the same -- at full price! If they want more money let them try venture capitalists; they shouldn't try to hoodwink us.… Expand

    What good is an expansion for an already broken game? Well, it can fix things. Or it can add more dumbness. "Broken World" does the latter. What good is an expansion for an already broken game? Well, it can fix things. Or it can add more dumbness. "Broken World" does the latter. It changes nothing of the fundamental gameplay flaws of the main program, it adds only more stuff to NOT play with. I was so deeply disappointed with DS 2. No, i'm not talking of the graphics. They're ok. It's the gameplay, the balancing, the terrible, terrible savegame-system. Nothing feels right, the interface is cluttered with unreadable fonts, tons of nearly sensless gameplay features are making navigating through the interface and the actual combat often a very frustrating experience. And yes, i've mentioned it. The savegame system! My "favourite"! For God's Sake, dear Developers! Why do you insist on implementing a savegame system, fitting for online play on remote servers FOR A SINGLEPLAYER GAME??? When i am playing with myself ( ;) ) i want so restore the game right at the place and moment i saved it the last time. With DS 1, you got it right. DS 1 was nearly perfect. A little fun arcade hack'nslash game. DS2 and its expansion are complete failures. And no, complexiy does not stand for making everything complicated!… Expand

    Before you consider this game you should consider that you cant convert your multiplayer characters from DS properly without incurring what Before you consider this game you should consider that you cant convert your multiplayer characters from DS properly without incurring what is apparently a a known bug referred to as the "inn bug". Rather than explain that in length here let's just say its a showstopper and GPG has issued no fix for it. Its such a showstopper that it makes the game virtually unplayable. I'm amazed they are even allowed to continue carrying it on the shelves with such a major bug. I would advise NOT purchasing this expansion until they release a patch. Since it doesnt appear they are going to release a patch I would advise writing them to request your money back maybe that would get them moving and fix this POC.… Expand
