For those unfamiliar of the Spellforce series, gamers can also recruit allies in their travels that are also linked to the various plots and subplots that are littered throughout this massive and wondrous gaming environment.

Graphically, Spellforce 2 - Dragon Storm is extremely reminiscent of the previous title, however with the addition of new areas and characters, it does have a fresh and unique feel to the title. Match that with some extremely realistic special effects from spells to lighting and you have one extremely impressive title. As with the graphics, the sound is also a first class experience that really makes you part of something epic.

In conclusion, Spellforce 2 - Dragon Storm is a worthy addition to the saga that features new exciting storylines, new gameplay and best of all, a return to one of the most wondrous gaming worlds of the past few years. Great stuff!
