Best RPG ever for console ... period

A fantastic combination of action and character development, Baldur's Gate - Dark Alliance comes through as the best RPG for a console to date. The graphics are superb, the fighting is top notch and the music and sound effects are brilliant.

One of the best things about this game is that the fighting is not so easy that it gets dull but it is not so difficult that you get discouraged. Every boss is beatable but not without a great deal of effort and the beasts populating the world are as much fun to destroy as they are to watch. A helluva lot of fun.

The worst part about this game is also the best part - I won't tell you the ending but there will be a sequel. And it can't come soon enough as far as I am concerned.

Good buy not Final Fantasy good

I'm not really a gamer, so i'll say this. It atleast got me playing untill the end. However, i RENTED this game and BEAT IT before i even had to turn it back in. So it gets 1 star for keeping me playing untill the end...but the end was too near. There really wasn't much to it.

So yes, finally, i beat a game. Yah for me. However even i know a horrible game when i see one. Its not worth the money. Rent it if you must because you probably won't have it longer then that.

Overall a good game

Overall this is a great game, the graphics are clean, the animation sequences are smooth, and gameplay is great. If you are going in expecting the same type of game as Baldurs Gate I or II for the PC, you might be disappointed. The story line follows the PC games, however the gameplay style is more like Diablo 2. The only real drawback is that the game is quite short.

way to short

This is a fun, entertaining game with lots of action, but not a lot of variety. Basically, you're doing the same thing over and over: hacking and slashing. Has a Diablo kind of feel to it, as many reviewers have stated, so if you're expecting this to be like Baldur's Gate for the computer, you might be dissapointed.

Great feature is that you can play two players at the same time, adding to the fun. My brother and I played through it in four days, so it's not particularly challenging, but it was engaging and quite addictive.

The one drawback to the game is the storyline. It's totally convoluted and makes no sense. Things do not connect, giving you a logical story arch with a satisfying resolution. The characters seemingly get involved in missions at random and I couldn't fathom why the main characters even continued on their quest. But aside from that confusion, the actual gameplay was engaging.

Awsome,+Drizzt ROCKS

When i got my ps2 i said"I will try the games before i buy them" but not this 1. I bought it because i knew it would be good and it was. This one is more like diablo2 though. I just completed this game and boy was it fun. my advice is GET THIS GAME AT ONCE!!

Baldur's Gate series is awesome!

I played the Baldur's series on the PC, and then when I bought my PS2 I saw this. The controls are easy, the story good, the graphics are really, really beautiful. It reminds me a great deal of another favourite of mine, Gauntlet. The only thing I did not like was the limited selection in characters. But I must say, the sound effects for the Sorceress spells are really terrific. Even my 9 yr old daughter plays this one with ease.

Another good (if short) game for the PS2

Not a lot to think about except have fun it is to smash hundreds of opponents to smithereens non-stop in a Diabalo-style game. I got attached to making my characters butt kickers which was engaging. The only problem was when I beat up some woman in a castle I was informed that my 'journey' had come to it's conclusion. I must say however, that it was enjoyable while it lasted...sign.

Decent but below potential

I expected much more. I played this just after Summoner2. The graphics in Baldur's gate were much less attractive, and the product felt a little canned due to the lack of choices in the game. The zoom-in map feature was good, but it was annoying that it couldn't be panned. The storyline was fine. Overall a mediocre experience.
