BALDUR'S GATE

Baldur's gate is one of the most addictive games you can come across. If you are someone who is interested in advanced dungeons & dragons games this is the game for you. Although there are some minor flaws (ie. the graphics aren't all that great) this game is worth the money.

It's good, but...

I just played it with a friend. It's kinda hard to get the characters where you want them in a battle. Making characters is fun. Anyway.....It's good. -Hylio

This game has excellent graphics and sound. It's fun at first, but then choosing tons of options andd stuff gets really tedious. I don't reccomend this game.

Not a good game!

I spent so much for this game thinking the graphics would be as people have stated, what a joke! This is a game that looks as though it was devrived from the early 90's! With the tech now graphics could have been better for the money! I rather spend my time playing the old Dungens and Dragons then wasting time on this boring game! I regret buying it, I wish I could return it!!! I hope this helps you make the right chose on buying this game ;)

super!

I really enjoy playing this game, there is a lot of action, the weapons and spells are awesome, and it isn't too easy! The only thing I don't like about it is how the characters in your party will just leave to go take care of their own business.

Great fun, but some minor issues

If I could, I'd give this game 4.5 stars. It's very immersive and the depth and complexity of the story leads to some great game play. Just getting started in the game is alot of fun because you have so many options to choose from. I've also found the quests and goals in the story to be more varied than in Baldur's Gate, which makes it all the more interesting and more fun to play. Granted, I am a fan of fantasy, so this is biased.
However, I had alot of trouble installing it. I have a 3dfx Voodoo 2 and it's never given me troubles, but this game won't accept the non-certified OpenGL drivers. So I play without 3D acceleration, which is fine. I don't notice too much difference in the screenshots posted by Interplay with what I see on my computer.
A second issue I've noticed is that with a PII 233, the path finding isn't very good and you may find yourself doing alot more micromanaging in movement than expected. That's really the only noticeable issue with having a minimum specs machine to play on.
Still, this game is one of my favorites and I think with its replayability, it will be for some time.
(Also, I didn't really understand what the Collector's Edition had that made it different. Later, I discovered that the extra CD in the Collector's Edition contains two additional stores where you can buy expensive but very powerful magical items. Might have been useful info when I was deciding which to buy.)

Death to the mis-believers!

This game is one of the best games I've ever played. It takes a long time to beat, and it has great replay value. Once you beat it, you can play it again with another character class and it will be just as fun. I like the 'Stronghold Quests', which you can get depending on your class. The spell graphics are greatly improved from Baldur's Gate. This game is really fun, and is funny at some points, such as when the mad mage says 'Death to the mis-believers!' Overall, I found this is one of the best games I have ever played. It is a must-buy.

Once you start playing, you will be hooked.

This game has to be one of the best rpg games out there.
Go through this game with up to six people on your team. Each player has their own unique skills to offer the team. The game play will have you on many different quest at the same time. Fight against ogres, dragons, wizards, and much more. A must have for any gamer.

Black Isle does it again!!

Okay, where to start? Well, first and foremost this is the Gold of the PC RPG's! If you built a character in BGI then you can import it into BGII. From there you have a whole new world to explore with NPC's that interact on a personal basis and actually provide conversation with your character to interact with. The level advancement is great, taking your character up to Mastery level in class skills. I am talking really powerful!! New monsters (including three dragons!!!!) to fight, an awesome story line and plot, and specialized quests for every character class! New spells, mind-blowing graphics, weapons, beautiful new character portraits and artwork, and more specialized classes all in 3rd ED!! If you consider yourself a hardcore gamer, this is it!! The only thing about BGII is a lot of the story and the majority of the quests happens in Athkatla, which is the city of Amn. This is nothing like BGI's in-city, changing discs every five seconds. The maps are very organized and easy to navigate through. There is more to do and every thime I play it I find something new that I didn't see before. The only thing that continues to remain consistent is the cookie-cutter style of the characters, but everything else is top-notch! Definately A+!!

Great Game

Baldur's Gate II was a very addictive game and can be quite tedious at times, since the gameplay can be boring if you have to do several tasks (like doing a bunch of other people favors). I recently finished the game and now that I have finished it, you can replay it in so many different formats like instead of having your main character as a fighter, you replay the whole story again as a mage. I have also played the prequel and this game beats the prequel in so many ways. There are more spells and more monsters in the game, providing better challenge along the way. The world is very interactive and you could also develop a romance with some of the female characters. I am looking forward to the expansion when I'm able to get it. This game does not have very good graphics but it is still a great game with small system requirements. Warning about the game: You could lose your friends if you are easily addicted to games like this!
