If you have money to burn, why not?

My opinions of DS:

The Good:

- Pretty graphics
- Semi-interesting way of "leveling up"
- Appeals to the Diablo/DiabloII crowd
- Pack mule
- No load time between areas

The So-so:

- Music. Not even particularly noticeable
- Voiceacting

The Ugly:

- The game all but plays itself
- The leveling treadmill is repetitive as heck
- Melee vs. archery balance is so off
- Combat magic vs. nature magic balance is off, too
- Trite storyline
- Little effort to make the storyline anything more than an excuse to go out and slaughter monsters
- NPCs that join your party have all the emotional depth of a very small, very shallow puddle
- Bland, bland quests. Fetch this, kill that; the dialogue's nothing to hoot for, either

Bottom line? I found DS unutterably dull, more so than I found D2. And that's saying something.
