I have seen other games and the last baldur's gate was good but this one is better. Better graphics. Better spells and even better areas. It's just better all around. Those of you who like bg one {and who dosn't) will love bg2. It's all u want and more.

This is going to be a great game! No, I don't work for Interplay (unfortuantly). But I played Baldur's Gate I, Tales of the Sword Coast, Fallout 2, Fallout 1, Odium which are all roleplaying games by these games. They all are great games. Baldur's Gate 2 is going to be even better. Look out RPG world! Here comes Interplay.

I have not played Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn, but from what I have seen at Interplay's website, It will have 200+ more spells, More characters races to choose from, and will leave you trying to figure out the puzzles for days. With an improvment over Graphics, Interface, and playing it online, it's going to be one of the best RPG games yet.
The best game ever made better

I have not yet played Baldur's Gate 2:Shadows of Amn, but if Baldur's Gate, TOSC, Fallout, and Planescape are any indication of what this game is going to be like, IT WILL BE GREAT! It will look much like Baldur's Gate, one of the best games ever, except everything will be improved. It will have many more spells, items, and monsters, and all will have improved graphics. If you loved Baldur's Gate, you will love this one even more. It is longer than the epic BG 1, and if you do all the side-quests, assuming you know exactly what to do, it can take three hundred hours without the expansion pack that it's bound to have. The great story that enveloped the BG 1 world will be nothing compared to this game. With old characters - Minsc and Boo, Jaheira, and Imoen - new features - strongholds, different sized monsters, and the improved Infinity engine - BG 2 will be the best RPG ever. It was all you loved in BG 1, plus much much more.
can you say: "CHA CHING"?

First off, Baldur's Gate is BY FAR the best game I have ever played. The gore of Diablo, The depth of the Final Fantasy series... it is the one game I own that I can continually play without getting bored with. It got a great overall rating from gamers and gaming networks alike, and Bg2 is a bigger, better Baldur's Gate. Anyone in their right mind would love this game! (unlike others around here...)
its the bomb

If all you want to do is hack and slash through life (your character's life, that is) and wear out your mouse, go with other titles that can do that, and just that, well. However if you are a role-playing traditionalist who wants more then hack and slash, one who appreciates a deep non-linear story, one who wishes to lead an adventuring party and considers the consequences of one's decisions, Bauldur's Gate II is for you.
The great graphics doesn't hurt either.
ABSOLUTELLY GENIOUS

This game is with out a shadow of a doubt one of the best games ever created. With a predeceser like BGTOSC, you can expect this one to be on the top 10 list for a long time. People who dont like this game are ussually not familiar with the AD&D rules and probably have never played the game themselfes. BUY IT, you wont regret it
Baldur's Gate2 seems really nice

As a owner of DiabloII one of the greatest hack and slash games, I must say I wanted more feeling that I am really in the game. I always tried doing like I'm going to a bar in act2, but no one talks back to me :( I think that as soon as this game comes out I will buy it. Will I be able to talk to people?!
