6.0
The graphics are based on the same engine as before and thus have shown little improvement since the last iteration of the franchise. This is an expansion but not an overly long one.

About
Dungeon Siege II: Broken World picks up right where Dungeon Siege II left off with an all-new campaign mode, a new playable race, more items to discover and a brand new multi-class character development system. Players must hunt down the Dark Wizard to exact vengeance and undo the evil brought to the world of Aranna during Dungeon Siege II.

Critic reviews
- 5.0Dungeon Siege II: Broken World isn't a standalone game, so can't be judged as one, but even diehard Dungeon Siege fans will be disappointed by the new content that's on offer. The main quest is totally underwhelming and can be completed in a fraction of the time it took to complete last year's full game. When combined with some severely dated visuals and an almost thrown together storyline, there's little reason to pick this up.
- 6.3If you really crave more of that Dungeon Siege II action, you'll definitely find it in Broken World. The problem is, you won't find enough of it to last you more than two or three days. And while there are some interesting additions here, the main arc of the story just isn't dramatic enough to support it all. I like that the combat is hard enough to force you to outfit your party properly but the action still winds up being little more than a clickathon.
- 6.3Dungeon Siege II: Broken World feels more like it should be the first act of a game rather than the last act. It doesn't bring anything to Dungeon Siege II in terms of the story, and it's too short to stand on its own as a separate campaign. The new character classes are a welcome addition, but they alone aren't worth the price. Broken World also doesn't add any multiplayer-specific features, so that part of the game remains unchanged.
- Titan Quest a fait prendre un sacré coup de vieux à Dungeon Siege 2. Le jeu de Gaz Powered Games est moins joli, moins rythmé, moins intéressant à jouer, bref, il n'a plus grand-chose pour lui. L'extension Broken World apporte certes son (petit) lot de nouveautés et une campagne inédite, mais cela ne sera certainement pas suffisant pour relancer l'intérêt des joueurs pour ce titre décidément bien fade.
