Well...I must say that this game is just that: it's not the best game ever, but it is really fun and you'll play it a lot supposing you like D&D/AD&D or RPG's. That being said, allow me to get to the nitpicky stuff.

One major gripe with this game that I have is teh experience system. It divides up the experience rather then give each party member an exact copy of the amount recieved. Another problem is the amount of "Cosmetic" strikes and how you miss a lot. I guess that is for "realism" but it just annoys me. Also, sometimes the game is REALLY non-linear so you have to get a guide or talk to EVERYONE in a place to see where you need to go.
Other than that, this game is really good and will keep you playing it forever. The story is really good and the rest of the game is good, I will not spill details, although most of you have already gotten the game and beaten it. Well i must go, hope you enjoyed the review...

Good (for the first 30 mins)

Okay so a couple year ago I bought this game hearing all the rave about it I thought I would be in for loads of fun. I was wrong I only got to the mines (one of the first levels) and kept dying. This game has a good story and characters but it takes forever to grow a level (get stronger) and the levels are close to impossible. If you want a real RPG get Diablo 2 it has great multiplayer and loads of fun. Or for those of you that cant play M rated games you should get Final Fantasy 7. Peace out and I hope that I just saved you the grief of buying this extremely boring game.

horribl game, at least

This game is down right horrible, i mean i couldn't install it because the cd's were all scratched, i had to buy a new copy and luckily that worked (not to mention the 3 times it froze while installation)the battle system is horrible and the questes are so stupid the monsters are the same through-out the whole game and there is like no action at all. if u want a high action easy battle system andgreat online play get Diablo 2 and/or the LOD (Lord of Destruction) expansion set

Good Game, not for Impatient players

I found this game to be very entertaining, though I found it frustrating and dull at times, but is enjoyable. It is a good role-playing game, but the ending was not what I expected at all. I liked the little quests and enjoyed the multiple choices you could make, I like the fact that there are many spells and weapons. This is a great game entertaining but slow, not for impatience players. Usually many of the important characters die so if you don't want to pay money to revive them, you should save all the time. It is recomendable for people who enjoy a long sharp game. Yet again I repeat not for eager players. This game is long and you won't win the first time you play. But it is a witty game.

THIS IS THE BEST GAME I HAVE PLAYED. ESPECIALLY SINCE I LOVE AD&D SO MUCH. THIS IS THE CLOSEST TO THE ORIGINAL IDEA THAT HAS COME ALONG. I AM GOING TO BUY THE OTHER BALDER GATE STUFF TOO. HOPE YOU HAVE AS MUCH FUN WITH IT AS I HAVE.

It's been about 3 years since this monster role-playing game came out and it's still in most people's top ten.

This game totally redined the RPG once again like only the people at Interplay can do. Extremely detailed in every way possible. Graphics, sound, atmosphere, wilderness, monsters...there isn't a bad thing to say about this. Best of all, it has an engrossing story line that makes you want to keep playing (without sleep) for hours to get to the next chapter.

A wonderful achievement!

The 411 on Baldur's Gate

Bauldur's Gate is the game that we all look to as the standard in computer Live-Action RPG's. You could never tell that you are playing with the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons rulebook right on your PC. This game is for every one who has ever thried to play an RPG but found it to boring. You can choose a character from one of 7 different races, and then choos one of 14 different character classes all with their own special abilities and weaknesses. You roam in the Forgotten Realms world to conqure evil (or be evil if you like, but that game is much harder) wit up to six people in a multiplayer game or by yourself wit 5 other NPC's (nonplayer charichters.)

If you liked playing AD&D in high school, as I did, Then you will probably love Baldur's Gate. The game is huge, over 2GB at full install. If your hard drive is big enough to hold it all, so you don't have to change disks periodically, this game is amazing. Once I got used to the interface, I was hooked on BG. BG was the first computer game I ever owned so I can't compare graphic etc. to other games. Since I'm not one to get hung up about an extra nanosecond of load time here or there, I found BG to be extremely addictive. Some people like to whine about graphics here or plot line there, but I'm not some people. BOTTOM LINE. THIS GAME IS FUN!

This game is fun, until you figure it out

I loved this game a lot.. i mean a lot. It was, by far, my favorite game i ever played. Until i beat it like 3 times and made about 20 different teams, i figured out how this game works. first off, i'll explain the obvious. You can choose from 6 races (Human, Elf, Half-Elf, Dwarf, Gnome, Halfling). the you choose from 8 classes (Fighter, Paladin, Ranger, Mage, Cleric, Druid, Theif, Bard). Then from 6 attribute points (Strangth, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma), to further make your character more personalized. Problem is, theres only 3 good races (Human, Dwarf, Halfling), about 3 good classes (Fighter, Mage, Theif), and only certain races are good with certain classes( Huamns are good at Fighter, Mage: Dwarves are only good at fighters, and Halflings are only good at Theives), so that just destroyed most of the customizing. The other clsses are pretty much worthless, as they are vastly inferior to the three main classes. The races other than those three have disadvantages that greatly outweigh their advantages. Items are also poorly made, as many items are clearly better than others, even at the same price, it was like the makers decided to put trick questions in the game, it almost makes you think your being put in a test, because if you read the entire description about the waepon, you can clearly see they are much better than other weapons that are alike. the puzzles made in here could have been put together by a person with no imagination, as 99% of all the puzzles area as follows, "I got robbed (or lost) this item right over there. Can you get it for me?" Everybody it seems, can't keep track of anything, one person asks you to get his boots back, because he dropped them! There is very little originality to this game, because the characters you meet are very much the same in all aspects. You can create a team of up to 6 people if you know how to work multiplayer, just make a game, and make all your allies computer, that way you get to control all 6 people, and you get to make them all! But soon enough, you'll find out, like i did, that theres a very strict teams you have to create if you want to win. Theres like 3 variations of a team that you should make to win, or else you'll lose very quickly. I wont spoil the fun out of finding the right combo of race/class, but its a very easy choice once you see how the game works.

Overall, I think this game is fun, but to me, this game is definatly not addicitve, as most RPG's are. An it is not a game in which you can keep playing over and over.

Good, but a bit dated

This is an awfully good game, but I'd suggest to the publisher that a new version be issued using the updated engine used in the sequel.
