Want to know more of what the experts think? 2404.org and Gameshark both give Broken World a 75%. G4 gave it 3 out of 5 stars, and Broken World received a 71% score from Gamerz-edge who said:

"The most exciting part of Broken World for me was the two new classes, the Blood Assassins and the Fist of Stone. These classes are awesome, and combine might and magic like few others. The Blood Assassins have some hellacious blood spells that will set enemy blood ablaze, while the Fist of Stone, not surprisingly, have some fantastically brutal strength attacks. Adding a pair of these to your group will have an immediate impact. Furthermore, not only can you import your DS II character into Broken World (this is obvious) but you can also take your Broken World characters back to the original Dungeon Siege II, and go through the game again. This is an interesting option that I think a fair bit of Dungeon Siegers are going to take advantage of, as it adds a nice, albeit not ground-breaking, change to the original game."
