I realize that the erotic fantasies of 14-year old boys must move a lot of product, but DS2 is ridiculous! I've seen busty femme fatales peppered throughout an RPG game, but come on! The Dryads don�t have any pants!! The Dryad city of Erulan looks like someone attacked a Victoria�s Secret store with a leaf blower! It�s completely out-of-place and detracts from the rest of the game, especially for Women Gamers(.com). It�s incredibly stupid looking when you stop and think about it.
Hopefully, when the MOD tools are released, someone will design a "Dryad Pants MOD" with some more substantial Dryad and armor skins for all the women gamers out there. My wife for one, an old-school Diablo fanatic, would really appreciate it.

|
| 2.0 | Presentation Some NPC and party characters "present" WAY too much! Nothing is more disturbing than looking at a bunch of half-naked blocky polygons for an hour. *shudder* |
|
| 10 | Graphics The scenery is gorgeous, as always! |
|
| 9.0 | Sound Gorgeous, like the original, and even toned down a bit so that it is never overpowering. The voice acting and dialogue is corny, but that's almost expected from action RPGs these days. |
|
| 8.0 | Gameplay Solid. Except that archers shoot the ground a lot and there are too many tabs in the Journal. |
|
| 7.0 | Lasting Appeal I've only played the demo, but it can last a long time if a good modding community crops up (like it did for Homeworld 2). |
|
| 7.0 | OVERALL (out of 10 / not an average) |
