Product Description
From the makers of Mass Effect, Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic, and Baldur's Gate comes an epic tale of violence, lust, and betrayal. The survival of humanity rests in the hands of those chosen by fate. You are a Grey Warden, one of the last of an ancient order of guardians who have defended the lands throughout the centuries. Betrayed by a trusted General in a critical battle, you must hunt down the traitor and bring him to justice.
As you fight your way towards the final confrontation with an evil nemesis, you will face monstrous foes and engage in epic quests to unite the disparate peoples of a world at war. A romance with a seductive shape-shifter may hold the key to victory, or she may be a dangerous diversion from the heart of your mission. To be a leader, you must make ruthless decisions and be willing to sacrifice your friends and loved ones for the greater good of mankind

Fun:
In terms of story line, Dragon Age's is the tried and tested evil-horde-threatening-the-kingdom plot, with a dash of Machiavellian political ambition thrown in. But although the basic premise is pretty generic, the sub-plots, characters and locations are interesting enough to keep you engaged, and a good job has been done on fleshing out the NCPs who make up your party, particularly the often inane banter that goes on between them whilst you're wandering around exploring.
The game looks gorgeous, particularly on a nice big HD TV, with good textures, facial animations and motion-captured movements. Voice acting is also done well, and the background noises and echoes establish atmosphere nicely. There are also some good cut sequences early on, which help to drive the story along.
The default difficulty level (which can be adjusted) I found to be pitched just right - in the early stages your characters feel pretty puny, and you need to take care to save often (actually this is a good tip generally), but it's not long before the levels start racking up, along with improved equipment and allies. If you lose a battle it's often because you've got your tactics wrong rather than being completely out-classed, so a quick re-think often pays dividends. The distribution of goods is also well-handled, and when you find a good piece of kit, it's usually because you've done something to deserve it.
I had my reservations about buying Dragon Age on the PS3, as I've never played an RPG on a console before, and wasn't sure the PS3 controller would allow the kind of control that a mouse and keyboard do. However, having played about ten hours of this game I think Bioware have done a good job of creating an interface which gets around the limitations of console controllers.
The radial menu which is used in combat and for creating items or using skills is well-designed (I found it easier to adjust the settings so that it stays open when activated, and can be toggled close using the L2 button), and allows the player to make multiple tactical decisions during combat. This is especially important against tougher opponents and for queueing up spells. Those that prefer to avoid menus (even the graphic, easy-to-use type) can assign up to 6 specific talents and skills per character to the controller's hot keys instead though.
I'm giving this game four stars - it would have got five if the story and world of Dragon Age had been designed with a tad more originality to it. However, if you're a fan of fantasy RPGs I doubt that this will bother you, and either way Bioware have promised to release plenty of additional downloadable content over the next couple of years and, away from the constraints of the game's mega-plot, I'm expecting them to use this opportunity to create smaller, quirkier and more interesting new stories in future.

If you like the look and sound of this game then you should take a few things into consideration,firstly its by no way a pick up and play for an hour while the Missus goes shopping,it does require your full and undivided attention,secondly there is lots of story,I mean dialogue,reading notes,and backround to N.P.C's so much so that you will know what they had for tea last night! And thirdly if you are new to to this genre like me then you need a great deal of patience,and you will be rewarded with a game that you actually feel involved in,which actually gives a sense of reward and at times will suck you in and destroy any social life you had!
Ok,the graphics are not up there with say Uncharted 2 and Modern Warfare 2,the voice acting is in parts shocking(the first few hours are the worst),but as the game unfolds like a good book it draws you in and will leave you wanting more when you finally realise its gone 3am!
Give it time and I promise it will take over your life,oh and I give my humble opinon after playing it on my PS3,and take my advice and get Wardens Keep,its an ideal place to stash your equipment.

Fun:
This will be a rather short review so anyone looking for a bulkier effort should head on over to gamespot for the most accurate review i've seen online for this title.
THE GOOD.
--Deep, deep, deep: from outstanding flawed but awesomely cool characters to a huge backstory that you can delve into at your leisure by picking up and reading in game tomes and literature. This is one that you can get lost in and you'll never want to find your way out again.
--The voice acting and emotive characters are second only to Mass Effect.
--Huge map with glorious locals you actually want to explore in great depth - so it's a good job you can!
--Interesting quests that can go many different ways depending on your actions and reactions.
--Depending on your class, gender and race you will be treated differently everywhere you go - i've only tested the difference between city elf and human noble so far but you'll soon be getting into character and getting up in arms as you're looked down on for being a certain sex or a knife ears (elf).
--The first battle cut scene is massive and stunning!
--The music also follows suit and adds to the atmosphere no end.
--Great abilities, skill, spells and all manner of armour and weapons.
--Amazing party dynamics - you choose how you get along with each character (you can even offer gifts) and each character interacts with each other through a myriad of travel conversations that range from the serious to the hilarious.
--The gore, as childish as this may seem, adds a nice viceral feel to combat - trust me I never thought a beheading could be so extremely satisfying!
--Loads of nice downloadable content already which bodes well for future support in expanding this amazing rpg experience and world.
THE BAD
--A lot, and I do mean a lot of the graphics are seriously dull and even stretch into being down right awful at times - this doesn't go for it all, there are moments when the game shines but it's never going to contend with some of the prettier titles out there.
CONCLUSION:
Love RPG's - buy it now, don't like RPG's this will change your mind for ever. The best thing since Oblivion!
