Everything else is exactly the same as the original. The graphics hold up surprisingly well for a year-and-a-half old game. The sound is still great, with a good score, plenty of clanging metal and fighters that don't shout their battle-cries too often. The most impressive part of Dungeon Siege's technology is still very cool: no loading. Once you start playing, you'll never see a loading screen, ever. Very nice.
However, Legends of Aranna's best selling point might be how much of a bargain it is, at least if you never bought the original game. Since it's priced as an expansion at $30 but actually has two full games, it's one of the best PC deals this year. So go buy yourself an early Christmas gift and get this party started.
And the second is at Just RPG with a final grade of 82%:
It's a tricky business writing an expansion review since you are essentially reviewing the first game as well. Legends of Aranna continues the non-stop hack & slash of Dungeon Siege while adding some nifty new utilities and plenty of near-uber items to make an already newbie-friendly game even friendlier. Since the expansion comes with the original game, it's a great gift for someone who hasn't already played DS. Those who have may feel the $30 price tag is a bit steep.
