Video Game Reviews of Beyond Divinity
Customer Review: Boy, that WAS fun!
Summary: 1 Stars
Well, I finally took the plunge and purchased Beyond Divinity at its outrageous $50 DSRP price tag, and fortunately, I was able to return the game to the store and receive a full refund. The store owner commented that all of his customers that purchased Beyond Divinity were returning their purchases as well. Why?Starforce Purchase Prevention! Larian's ingenious solution to the problem of legitimate customers.
After doing some research, I found that Starforce, especially the latest version, causes many problems on NT/2000/XP systems including but not limited to constantly random reboots. These problems have pushed indie programmers to develop software that removes Starforce from a system completely. What's neat is that the removal software is called Starforce Cleaner, which enforces the view of the people in the disc storage and duplication industry that Starforce is like a computer virus.
While many active Larian forum members have not suffered the same issues, many Larian customers have, and like many of them, I've sworn never to buy any product that assumes I'm a criminal. Unfortunately, I'll never be able to play Beyond Divinity unless Larian wises up and removes (or replaces) the Starforce Purchase Prevention scheme. I thought the game looked like a lot of fun from its screenshots. Oh well...
By the way, you cannot play the game with a backup disc.
Customer Review: Warning - does NOT include Divine Divinity
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're like me and are planning to play both Divine Divinity and Beyond Divinity in order, you may have heard that Beyond Divinity actually includes the original Divine Divinity as a bonus. While this is true, it's only in specially marked boxes and not all merchants sell them. I ordered Beyond Divinity from Amazon, assuming that it was guaranteed to include Divine Divinity, but my box didn't have it. I don't mind paying for the original game (I just ordered it a few minutes ago), but I wish I had known that Amazon was not selling the bonus edition before I ordered Beyond Divinity.Customer Review: could've been better
Summary: 2 Stars
This game's interface was really annoying. I hated having to keep both party members alive at all times.
The voice acting could've been better.
Reminded me too much of Diablo.
The graphics were mediocre at best.
You can't adjust the difficulty once you've started the game, and this game is HARD!
If Taco Bell is still open go there instead of playing this game.
This could've been a good game if they would've designed it better.
I gave it two stars because I have played worse.
My grandpa died while I was playing this game.
He liked football.
Customer Review: Beyond Divinity Divinity
Summary: 5 Stars
This game is such a refreshing change from the dry and listless RPGs that have been released of late. Humor abounds, and once again, I am loving the Divinity universe. New with this game is the ability to play after finishing the main game - one can visit the Battlefields for new quests indefinately. It is so wonderful to be able to interact with most everything in the game and to hear the comments of the Death Knight, imps or skeletons - that know you're the not always so bright hero. Professionally done voiceovers make it decidely better than the demo, and kudos to the Larian team for listening to their fans.The background music is again composed by the most talented Kirill Pokrovsky, and it is a delight. This game can be played by a newcomer on the easy level, or on the most difficult setting by the most adept, with two settings in between. Don't miss this one!

This is for those people who complained about the voiceovers in the demo. Apparently, you haven't been to Larian Studio's website recently. Several days ago, they posted that they hired completely new voice-actors and re-recorded all the dialogue, so stop complaining. Bring on the game Larian Studios!!!
