    This is a fantastic title, and should score points both for Diablo-style dungeon crawlers as well as adventure/RPG hybrid lovers. With no load time between levels, it’s also good for those with shorter attention spans.

    Considering you get all this for thirty bucks, I see no reason why every action RPG or DS fan shouldn't go out and grab this one right now. If you're into addictive games, I can almost guarantee you won't be disappointed with LoA.

    Legends of Aranna’s best selling point might be how much of a bargain it is, at least if you never bought the original game. Since it’s priced as an expansion at $30 but actually has two full games, it's one of the best PC deals this year.

    It's a welcome and entertaining addition to an excellent game. [PC Zone]

    Multiplayer has been greatly improved, with characters' journal state now being saved, so playing through one of the campaigns with a friend or two is a much more satisfying.

    It's a maddeningly beautiful game filled with the tedium of being an observer more than a player. [Feb 2004, p.81]

    The $29.99US MSRP seems somewhat reasonable, unless you object to spending that kind of money on different versions of a two year old game.

    OK, so it is linear and violent and repetitive. I loved the original and this expansion cost me a few sleepless night too!

    I consider this a great game for the time. Great RPG elements with a very immersive history. I remember I could be playing for hours and hours!

    I agree. Game has some glaring faults that are even worse than in DS1, I.E. the combat stances kinda suck. Unless you set it to "hold I agree. Game has some glaring faults that are even worse than in DS1, I.E. the combat stances kinda suck. Unless you set it to "hold position", your entire party will take off after anything that comes within visual range and will continue chasing it until 1. it goes out of vis. range, 2. they catch it and kill it, 3. something catches and kills you, 4. you stop them. You'll be stopping your party a lot.… Expand

    If you didn't play the first game, this is your chance. If you know Dungeon Siege think this only a weak expansion compared with original game.
