Dungeon Siege is an action fantasy role-playing game featuring an immersive fully 3-D environment. The game plunges players into a continuous 3-D fantasy world on a quest to stop a mysterious evil that has been unleashed. Beginning with a single character, players can travel through the world and gather a party of up to eight characters, or choose to face the challenge
alone. The action role-playing in Dungeon Siege propels players into one over-the-top battle after another as the storyline unfolds. For more information about Dungeon Siege, visit the official Web site at: http://www.microsoft.com/games/dungeonsiege/
