Dragon Age: Origins Leliana's Song DLC Reviews

Category: News ArchiveHits: 2011
Great new music is another highlight of Dragon Age: Origins - Leliana's Song. The crooked tunes you hear during the first hour suit the gleeful malevolence of "the game," and somber music enhances the emotional resonance of multiple scenes. It's nice to see the Orlesian bard get her due, though the by-the-numbers clashes and restricted party size keep this three-hour slice of downloadable content from hitting consistent high notes. But if you like the prospect of seeing the impish side of Dragon Age's most pious party member, this $7 add-on is a solid proposition.
Big Download gives it a verdict of "Wait":
The items and story make the campaign worth picking up, but Dragon Age fans may be a bit put off by the limited gameplay and brevity. It certainly doesn't hurt to buy it now, considering it costs less than $10, but it's just as worthwhile to wait and see if it's ever bundled together with other expansions in a complete DLC pack.
And then TheSixthAxis hands out a 7/10:
For your own rating it should probably lose at least a point if the main attraction of DA:O for you is the tactical combat and at least one more if you never met or did not like Leliana. Even DA:O-owning PS3 trophy whores will find it an expensive way to buy three bronzes.
