Customer Ratings & Reviews

I absolutely love this game. I'm over 80 hours into it and find the stories interesting and compelling. This is definitely a mature game for mature people. There is a lot of blood that gets thrown around the screen and it actually sticks to the characters. There are some "bedroom" scenes; so please be aware before letting your children see/play this game. The story is extremely parallel to Lord of the Rings fare, which works to its advantage. I love the anticipation of building my character up enough to fight off dragons. I have found the game to be most enjoyable on the easiest difficulty setting, and still find myself dying from time to time. Probably the most annoying thing for me is that it was definitely made with the PC as the target platform and there are some menu screens that don't work as well as they should because of it. In the menus, there is often a scrolling list which you cannot scroll through without highlighting every item which causes the items to be marked as read. It makes it difficult to go back through and read the ones you've missed because there is no way to scroll and see which ones are left to be read. Difficult to explain, but it was obviously made with the mouse in mind. They could have resolved the problem by forcing the list to scroll when the selection reached the middle, or by allowing the movement of one of the controller sticks scroll through without selecting. While annoying, I certainly wouldn't avoid the game because of it. It plays great on the PS3 and sounds fantastic through a surround system. I highly recommend this game. Beware if you have a family, it will suck many unintended hours away from you. You will need a minimum of an hour for each play session; otherwise you wont get anything accomplished. Be thankful for the save-anywhere anytime feature.

I felt like I was in the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy! (dwarves, elves, dragons, walking trees, a dark force sweeping over the land...) But I thought there were really creative storylines, and it has long playablity (I'm at hour 28 & I'll guess about 30% through the game) if you try to complete all the little side-quests. I'm sure if you just play it to get through the main storyline it would be a lot less time. But I love being immersed in this little world, really fun & definitely recommend for any experience level! I'm playing as an elven mage and next time plan to be a warrior, casting spells or sword slashing, there is something for everyone.

Once I started playing this I can not stop. As a old time role player this is a GREAT game. It reminds me of some of the old role playing games I use to play on much older systems with up to date graphics and sound. It is not hard to figure out all the controls and I am very new to PS# games so that is a big plus> I have had hours of fun and still have not finished my first run through. The game has many options for skill level and roles to play so it will get played many more times.

Game is nice substitute from WoW and all those online jerks. If you want a game to just run about solo then this is it. It's not as repetitious as Oblivion but it lacks the open roam like in Fallout 3. It is a nice change of pace and the battle system is easy to set up once you get used to it. You have a choice of characters to set up and what you want to specialize in. And you always seem to be getting people to choose from in your party to mix your combat group up. As I said before though it lacks that open world wandering. I myself love to explore the world and look for new things and areas. This game however has a set path for you when you are out in about. One thing it also doesn't have is any online or co-op play. I myself don't mind the online action but sometimes it would be nice while in a group battle to have a real person watching your back. A.I. sometimes targets something you don't want them targeting but that might be my set up. Still getting the feel for battle system. All in all great game. Nice that there is expansion stuff out and as long as they keep doing that and little tweaks here and there the game will be fun to play for a long while.

I am a big Oblivion and Fallout fan. It took me a while to embrace this game, comparing it to those two. Once I became familiar with the menu's and game play, I began to enjoy this game for it's differences. The thing that captured me the most about this game is the development of your character and relationships with your party members. You are faced with choices that will drive the direction of your relationships throughout the game. This is one of the things that gives the game replay value for me (what if I choose this, or did that differently). This made me more engaged with my companions and I found myself chosing my party based upon the relationships and not the skill sets. The conversations between other party memebers as your traveling is telling and sometimes clever. Graphically the game is under par for PS3, combat is typical for an RPG, digalog/reaction between characters is good.

Dragon Age: Origins will make a great addition to anyone's game collection. With an original storyline, different available game paths you can take, and the ability to customize your playing strategies, Dragon Age is one of the best games I have played. In addition, there are several available add-ons that you can download in order to keep the fun coming. I will say that the graphics during gameplay are not what I was expecting. However, if you need state-of-the-art graphics in order to enjoy a game, then I think you would be better off buying a blu-ray movie. My wife got me this game as a Christmas present and as she watched me play it she started to like it. Since then she has started to play on her own. Now, I have to battle her for the rights to play. This game, with no doubts, will provide you with hours of entertainment.

Dragon Age Origins is my first venture into the realm of console RPG gaming, and it has not let me down. The characters and locales are memorable, the gameplay is a sinch, and there are virtually endless possibilities for quests and future expansions. I found myself doing a LOT of saving just in case I messed up a conversation that would get me an item or a codex, but this pales in comparison to all of the positive aspects of the game. I was skeptical of the product at first, but after trying a friend's copy of the game I was hooked! This is a wonderful game that will keep you coming back for more!

I dont know what that other reviewers issue is, but i have not had a single problem with this, the graphics look great, i have had NO loading time at all, NO lag, it has run perfectly. It is a lot of fun as well.

Everything about this game is awesome. The story is open ended so you can choose your moral and quest paths. The graphics are great. The gameplay hasn't lagged or frozen.

This is a must game - I love this game. The interaction is great and the statements are funny - mature though which is great too. No kiddy stuff.

I am a really big RPG fan and Dragon Age:Origins is a must have for any RPG fan. The storyline is great, the fact that there are six unique beginnings spells a long, exciting, and interesting and well promised game

Honestly....out of all the other RPG's like Oblivion and Fallout, although fun games....this one took my cake. Its fun and challenging having to makeup strategies on how to fight as a team. I enjoy the Movie scenes....it sets the mood for the game. All in all...i cant get off the game unless its to use the bathroom, eat or got to work....and ive called in a few times. HA HA HA Great game!

I was hoping this game was online to play with other people, but it's not.. so there was the first downfall. Secondly, the graphics for a ps3 game are pretty lame.. and it lags constantly to where sometimes it even freezes and says loading in mid-fight which annoys the hell out of me. my ps3 plays every other game fine so i know that it's not my ps3 that needs fixing. Also, the fighting style in this game is boring. I click X and it fights by itself unless i use a "move".. overall i wouldn't recommend buying this game like i did unless you play it first.. the first couple hours you will see for yourself its not worth the 60 bucks..

I have personally only played a few RPG games but of the few that I have played this is the best!!! it is an amazing game with a non-liner plot of funness... (yes that isn't a word but it describes it perfectly) anyway I would recomend this to anyone who likes all of thouse fantisy themed RPGs

I'm not sure why the first reviewer gave it a bad rating. This game is amazing it is a mix between oblivion, neverwinter nights, and many more great rpg's. I strongly suggest you buy this game and play it.

This game is amazing, I've had it for less than a week and I've already spent over 24 hours playing the game. The only reason I gave graphics and sound a 4 out of 5 is because the speech is sometimes off and sometimes you will see a suit of armor, two eyeballs but no face/hair. Some basic glitches that likely should have been fixed imo. All in all though the value you get from such a long game is ridiculous. Having spent all that time I really haven't gotten that far in awhile. If you are sick of spending 60$ for a "weekend" game, you owe it to yourself to pick this up.

It took a while for it to get to me... but that could hev been the fault of the post office. I LOVE this game! i havent stopped playing it .

Awesome game, lots of gameplay with different origin stories. Very fun and challenging.

great game, actually lost track of time when i was playing it! only thing is that stats are factored in for defense.

This game has a great story line and keeps you actively interested. The game allows for a wide variety of ways to play your character so there is a nice customization factor. The game is challenging so since a wipe is game over remember to save often, but the challenge is welcomed! I've logged about 40 hours of the game so far and cannot wait to get back to playing it. There are many side quests and the downloadable content increases the gameplay length. GREAT GAME!
