I know this version is having problems. I have not done internet research on the other versions. I am currently playing the Xbox 360 version. I have not had any problems personally, except minor glitches while in the fade. While in golem form, you have to stand at the correct distance to knock doors and have to be in spirit form to get one of the stat upgrades. Minor glitches. For a game of this size, I'm surprised that there weren't many more glitches. I wasn't expecting much from this game. I picked it up to hold me over till Mass Effect 2. I was pleasantly surprised.

Robertson Fri, 20 Nov 2009 03:24:18 +0000 http://www.bscreview.com/?p=41802#comment-7301 It's a fact that neither the PC nor 360 versions are experiencing the frame rate issues that the PS3 is. I'm just stating facts, not a preference for one version over another. This is a review of the PS3 version, so what I will say is that I would probably score the 360 version 0.5 points higher in graphics than the PS3 version because of the frame rate. I would take muddier textures for solid frame rate - if I had to choose at all. On both consoles, there isn't a graphical standard compared to the PC - neither console can compare, I'd say. We don't have the toolkit, which is understandable; we have worse graphics...again, understandable; and we don't have the user community for mods and DLC that doesn't come straight from BioWare. Time will tell if all these issues really are non-issues, but for now, enjoy it on the consoles because it's a miracle we have it at all! :) Thanks for reading. I stress again this is one of the best RPGs I've ever played, despite any issues. It’s a fact that neither the PC nor 360 versions are experiencing the frame rate issues that the PS3 is.

If you look at some multiplatform sites, like GameSpot, the general consensus is the PS3 version of Dragon Age is the better, more-refined version, not the 360 version. So, what are you going on about when you write the 360 version isn't experiencing these problems, when it is AND more. To be fair, the same sites reviewed Borderlands a .5 better on the 360 compared with the PS3, basically because of the PS3's online issues with the game, which have been rectified. LOL.

But, overall, I'm reading about a ton of bugs overall in this game for the PC platform, too, so in my view it was a rushed game. I'm quite certain the PC will get patches galore, but we'll see how they handle the consoles. If they just forget about us, that'll leave a mark. ;) True, you’re exactly right.

I'm fairly sure that a PS3 version was EA's idea. It shows. The problems with this version is already legendary. I have played the Xbox 360 version and it does not have the same problems. The 360 version gets a 9.9, in my humble opinion. In the past Bioware has not released their games on the PS3. I’m fairly sure that a PS3 version was EA’s idea. It shows.
