It sounds really cool.  Two player mode is where I\'ll spend most of my time.  I\'ll probably start off as the mage girl, then the second time through I\'ll be the Dwarf.

Combine this with J&D and FFX, and this is going to be one December to remember.

Yea I\'m with you iron I will probably log the most time with me and one of my buddies on 2 player co-op. I love playing with another person, it jus adds so much to the gaming experience.

 Anyone know how long this game is supposed to be? And do you level up kinda like in Diablo and then buy skills or do you just aquire them in order or through buyable items?

It\'s only around 12 hours, but it will be a great 12 hours.  And unlike MGS2, it\'s all gameplay.

I have seen a picture of a leveling up screen.  It looks like you can buy skills like in Diablo, but I\'m not 100% sure of that.

yea i love playing with a friend

i cant wait to pick this up - finally a game my friends will like to play

they get tired of watching me play heheh

this is one fine review! I\'ve got the demo at home and the graphics are really gorgous. It\'s very crisp and clear and I didn\'t see any jaggies at all. The effects and spells are very nice indeed.

I\'d probably buy this one just for the graphics and 2-player mode which seems to be a lot of fun.

The best part is that it got more freedom than Diablo,you can leap and block rather than hack and slash mindlessly.

Well written review! It sounds really good but the only thing which puts me off is a big thing - its an action game. Like Heros of Might and Magic it seems that BG: DA has had its RPGness towned down and replaced with more action for the PS2 version. This is a shame really as essentially it makes this game a straight forward action game - fun yes - but it could have been much more if they kept it more RPG like.

I won\'t be buying it off the mark now but I will still consider it depending on other reviews.

Rich.
