And once again, the dev's posts get lost. Really good stuff some of you missed. Particularly:

In DA2, the combat is definitely more responsive, and especially on the Xbox 360 and PS3, you'll be able to take direct control of any party member, move them around the battlefield, and have their attacks and special abilities respond quickly and naturally to your button presses. Mike Laidlaw calls this "fighting like a Spartan". Standing around and watching your character do all the work is not recommended, as it often turns into watching your character get pummelled if you (the player) aren't participating in the fight.
On all platforms, you can still exert tactical control over your entire party by pausing the game, checking the status of your party, surveying the battlefield, targeting enemies, issuing orders, and then resuming the action at the touch of a button. Mike calls this "thinking like a general". You can do this as often or as infrequently as you like. The higher the difficulty level you want to play at, the more you'll likely want to take advantage of this style of gameplay, but it's up to you.
edit: rephrased to clarify that you can't take control of "any character", just the ones in your party

I'll brave the rage. I would ask that people please read the whole post. It won't be long, I promise:
Yes, you can play DA:2 like a hack and slash game. Briefly.
And then Varric stops making stuff up about you, and you will have to play for real. At the beginning it won't be that hard, so you could elect to hack, or slash, but you won't be as good at it, so you might want to use an ability or two. And then later, you're going to be facing some tougher stuff, so you might want to buy and equip new armor. And eventually, that armor might not be quite tough enough so you might want to not only get some new armor, but craft some runes that you can use to enchant that armor to make it better.
So, yes. You can play DA:2 like a hack and slash game, right up until you no longer can. When is that point? Really depends on your difficulty level.
But it's still going to play faster, and it's going to feature people rolling and leaping and it's going to make noises that are very much like you are hacking and slashing, because that is what you will be doing. With a mix of brains, tactics and style. I very much think that even people who are bound and determined to hate it will start to see that there's more going on here than God of War.
And dare I say, there's even more going on in God of War than you're prepared to admit. Red orbs aren't that far off from experience points, after all.
Commenceth the rage if you must! But discussion is encouraged instead.
