well to start it off, dragon age is an rpg game, which got the rpg game of the year award by ign for the xbox 360.

when the game starts you choose your race.

you can be a human, an elf, or a dwarf.

if you become human, you can choose beetween a human noble, or a mage.

as a human noble you can become, a rogue or a warrior.

as an elf you can become a city elf, or a dalish elf.

elfs can become any class

as a dwarf you can become a noble or a commoner.

dwarfs can only become wariors( i'm not sure as i never played with them)

your status changes your ability to persuade people.
for example as a mage when you go back to the circle of tower, you will get the help of the templers more easily.
and as a dwarf or an elf your old freinds will give you more information about a quest, and they will act more politly with you.

each character has a diffrent quest at the begining until you reach ostagar

the graphics are simple and very dark, the cut scenes are amazing. The bad thing is that they differ on consoles. The texture is much better on the ps3 then on the xbox, but it reaches its full potential on the pc.

the game play is complicated on the 360 and ps3, but very simple and the pc, On the game consoles you have a total of 6 spells per character, which include talent spells, bombs( which are hand made ) and potions.
you can control one character at once and chaning spells causes you to pause the game. But you can change btw characters by the click of a button, the console version requires patience and very precise timing in order to win the game on a high difficulty,

on the pc version you have an unlimited amount of spells to use at once withought switching beetween spells, and changing beetween characters and activating speels is much more easier.

i loved the game i give it a 9.5/10, i finished the main mission in about 25 hours, the side quests are beautiful and long, in all finishing the game once requires about 40 hours of playing. i started the game again and it still feels amazing, i hope to finish the game 7 times in order to experience the thrill of the game with all possible characters.

ps: i suggest the pc version
Did you buy it for all 3 systems? ps3, xbox, pc?
true enough, you can't really say one version is better than another unless you've tested all of them.
He could just be relaying information he got elsewhere.

Erm, where does he say one is better than the other? He's mentioned the PS3 has better texturing and the PC version has more variety - but in truth that's the same in any game that comes out on all 3...

I'm all for a bit of George bashing, but only when he's being retarded.
On a side not that game is actually pretty good. Dark plot, killing, sex, all kinds of fun.
the game is amazing.

about the games being diffrent on the consoles gamespot gave the xbox version a 8.5, the ps3 version a 9. and the pc version a 9.5.

the diffrence in the ps3 and xbox version isnt much and it should be ignored. but the pc version is better

So you own the 360 and are insecure about it not being as good as the PS3. It's ok, everyone else knows.
I would love to be playing my brand new copy of Dragon Age for the 360. However, Microsoft sucks dick and can't be bothered to make a product that doesn't break after 1 year.
hehe, after a year your system was already out of warranty?
