    I'm really debating on this game because I don't have a good gaming computer(I just stopped playing pc game in general). I love rpg and stuff but I really don't think this game is going to be good on console(I have PS3). Is it good on console? GIve me your honest opinions. I'm looking for opinions from people who have this game for PS3.

    Yes it's good on consoles. It's just simply better on PC. But if you don't have a PC good enough to run the game it's still a fine game on consoles.

    It works perfectly fine. Obviously the interface isn't as smooth and the battles aren't as tough, but it's worth it.

    I played it on PS3 and it plays fine.  It's a great game overall and nothing popped out that was a detriment to my experience.

    I played it on 360 so I can't offer any opinion to what it's like on PS3, but it's fine on 360 and I see no reason why it wouldn't be on PS3. The game itself is incredible and is easily my personal choice for GOTY.

    Gamespot said that the PS3 version was superior to the 360 version, can anyone confirm this?

    I've played the hell out of it on PS3, and I've thoroughly enjoyed it.
     
    In fact, I'm going to go play it right now!
     
    In the end, what does it matter which platform it's on? If you like RPG's, you really owe it to yourself to play this. PLAY IT NOW.

    I think everybody is a little too worried about the console versions, just go out and buy the game

    Indeed it is, the controls are easy to learn and using the radio-menu can take a lil getting used to, least it did for me, but eventually becomes natural when u want to perform a certain skill or spell.

    they did, ps3 got a 9 and 360 got a 8.5 but i remember it was over some very stupid minor detail, like the graphics were a little better or something. is that worth the .5 less? i dont think so. but its gamespot so i dont care.

    I think its all fine. Although the UI might feel a little clunky, once you get used to it then it works fine. You might need to tab on the radical menu a few times to perform combos or save your party member's ass a few times however.
     
    Nothing beats the horrendous UI for Fable II. I never want to see that UI ever again.

    Its a great game, obviously it would be better on PC, but I played it on the 360 and I was surprised how easy it was to manage inventory and spells. The one thing that can be bothersome is clicking on stuff, since you can't click, you have to use the auto-select thing, which is fine when you aren't in a big battle.
     
    I bet it would look good on a good PC, but it looks fine on consoles too.

    it's  decent, the 6 spells hot-key  and the spells/abilities/etc wheel it's pretty decent and good, gameplay feels like kotor but more strategic , it's definitely a good way to play this game too.

    @nohthink: I have it on PS3 and PC. While the PC is definitely the superior version, its still fun for the consoles. Playing Dragon Age is better than not playing it.
