Video Game Reviews of Divine Divinity

Customer Review: Addictive
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great game, yet it is so addictive and takes a long time to finish. I still like it though.

Customer Review: Excellent Role Playing Game
Summary: 5 Stars

Divine Divinity is a fun game. You start and soon your character is knee deep in quests. Have you ever washed dishes to
do a quest? It's a large game with a huge number of quests.
Larian supports the game on it's web forum. There are a lot
of walkthroughs because it's a huge game.
The graphics are beautiful, music has won an award, and the AI is
a slight challenge.
But whether you like easy or hard games, this one will work for you. Notice to Christians---has pentagrams otherwise clean.

Customer Review: Great game with nVidia cards(not with Radeons)
Summary: 5 Stars

Divine Divinity is as sweet as Christmas candy as far as performance goes with my old Win98 system(nVidia Geforce III) but on my brand new computer XPPro 3200+ Athlon sixty bloody four for goodness sakes(ATI Radeon 9800 XT) Its slower than MAKING Christmas candy(Divinity) in an underpowered mixer! This is not the fault of CDV nor Larail Studios but ATi's loused drivers(as usual) it seems users of ATI's card sit out the good times once again. D3D doesn't work in the test so I wouldn't count on keeping your drivers from being corrupt in the game! Direct Draw seems to work but it is blurry and will make your eyes hurt because of the lack of consistant drawing when the screen scrolls horizontally.
The game it's self is a lot like Diablo II(not like D1 which was boring) but has a bit of sub-plotting even in dungeons. Thier is always something going on that's intersting like in Ultima series. Thier are only three character types, fighter, Wizard, and Survivor(thief), but it is what you do with them that counts. The skill trees eliminate the need for "elite" classes like Undead Hunter, Paladin, Ranger, or that kind of nonsense that's required in D&D or other RPGs. Unlike Ultima(or Baldur's Gate for you D&D people), however, thier is no comradary between compainions like Iolo, Shamino, Dupre, just a henchman or two to keep you from dying all the time.(no dialogue between NPCS in party) Any palling around is you and a little white cat.
As far as NPCs V/O talant it isn't bad considering this is not a graphic adventure(it's actually acted better than most graphic adventure games these days), This a hack'n slash RPG with a very good story and sub-plots to give you insentive to well, hack'n slash and do a lot more. I've heard that Beyond Divinity is worse but that's another story and CGW Mag is not to be trusted anyway when selecting a game.

Customer Review: Pretty good. Definitely worth the money.
Summary: 5 Stars

I've played Diablo II for many, many (way too many!) hours, and if you liked Diablo II, you'll like this game. There's a little bit more of a story there, and there are some unique items that make the game special. The only major complaint is the accuracy of pointing on items with the mouse - I think others have mentioned it before. But if you keep a finger near the "Ctrl" key for attacking your nearest foe automatically, that helps alleviate most of the risk associated with the difficulty of some of this. Also, this game isn't as hardware-intensive as some of the newer games, so you don't need the latest-and-greatest cards and chips to play it. And at the current price, this game is definitely worth the money. Since the part of my life with Diablo II, I've bought and tried Baldur's Gate II, Neverwinter Nights with all the expansions, Gothic II, Dungeon Seige and the Legends of Aranna, Morrowind and Icewind Dale II. Of all of these, I've only completed the original Dungeon Seige, put aside all the others, but I'm going to spend some time with "Divine Divinity". Good luck with it.
