Diablo II is quite simply a legend, an effortless, elegant condensation of every compulsive act known to man. Dungeon Siege II is a variation on that premise, and an excellent one. But its biggest drawback is that it doesn't have a Battle.net to fall back on. Sure, the new skill tree system (which allows for more character-building flexibility) is a neat twist, and the streamlined inventory system represents a wonderful addition. In short, it's a great game, but it needs a more persistant online community to truly shine.
And the second is at GameZone with an overall score of 8.3/10:
You tend to see most everything coming, which means there are few plot twists that are not either foreshadowed or anticipated. Still, it is a good storyline, and the game is entertaining. For those who have yet to experience a role-playing adventure of this nature, DS II is a good one to begin with. For those who enjoy the Neverwinter Nights-, Baldur's Gate- or Icewind Dale-style titles, this is somewhat similar. Conceptually the game may not offer much that is original or new, but it does offer solid adventure and entertainment value.
