Dragon Age 2 - Reviews at GameCritics and Kotaku

Gamecritic's Brad Gallaway has reviewed DA2. The score 2.5/10 - and here's why.

Defying all expectations, BioWare managed to take one of the most memorable Western RPGs in recent history and completely destroyed everything that made it so good. I have absolutely no idea how such a respected development house could have made so many colossal mistakes and turned out such an unpleasantly rushed, shallow, utter waste of time... but they did, and it is.

On Kotaku, there is another sort of review. It is written by Thomas Muller in Kotaku's Let's Rant-section. Here's a snip:

Core storytelling that reeks of professional polish, with genuine characters and not a word out of place. And city that is devoid of life and character,that changes far too little to hold attention, surrounded by lore and history that only presents itself in written slabs of texts and in the offhand dialogue of NCPs. Still glued to our screens.

Thanks to galvdogs on the Bioware DA2 forums for finding this.

Do you think Brad Gallaway's review accurately reflects DA2?
