Dragon Age: Origins For The XBox 360
This is the game I asked Santa for last Christmas. From the little bit of time I have had to play Dragon Age: Origins, I can say it is the coolest RPG for the Xbox 360. It's as great as everything I've read about this game said it would be. I am going to show you all the reasons why I think this video game is so cool!
I do want to add that this may not be a game you want your children including your teenager to play. It does have some mature content.

Product Features

- Dragon Age: Origins will give you deep character customization options including: class, race, appearance, abilities, and equipment.

Player Reviews
Check Out The Excellent Reviews On Dragon Age: Origins
I know you may need more than my opinion, so here are some excerpts of actual player reviews. To read the full review just click the link.
- Ignore the naysayers, THIS is the RPG experience of a lifetime
- "What counts is the story and gameplay and man, BioWare have outdone themselves on this. The brilliance is how it overturns the classic cliches of fantasy adventures. Elves aren't superior beings but divided, the city elves second-class citizens in slums while wood elves are wild and considered myth. Dwarves aren't drinking comic relief but hold to ideas of honor while in truth holding to an ultra-rigid class system that keeps the commoners down. And magic is considered something to be feared rather than used. Twists like that give the entire genere a nice kick."
- So what if the graphics aren't perfect? Highly recommended!
- "Dragon Age is a fantastic game. Deep characterization and playing fundamentals/strategy (on higher difficulty levels), lots of looting and blood and gore, romance with a pretty guy or girl, long-term support from Bioware (hopefully) as evidenced by the downloadable content available on the day of release, and huge "bang for your buck.""
My Game Review
My Thoughts And Opinions
The ability to have party members and control them during combat is pretty cool. I like the fact that you can set your tactics and it's not just a hack and slash with you hoping they aren't just running around in circles while you take all the beatings.
I also like that the world will view you differently depending on which race you choose and the choices you make during your game. You also get to choose your beginning story line which is where the word Origins comes into the title. The Origin Story sets your character's history and can have an impact on the story line and game ending.
From what I have read about this game it has the potential to have great re-playability. If you change one decision you make in the game, you may have a different ending.
