Why Diablo II doesn't compare

I bought D II first. I played it and I liked it. The improvements from Diablo were good and I was pleased. Then a few days later Baldur's Gate came in the mail. Holy geez! As a computer gamer, I was impressed. But as a long-time RPG fanatic, I was blown away. A game like this could replace the traditional RPG. Listen to this, you generate your Player Character just like you would in an RPG, no having to chose from a standard 5 PCs as you must in D II. And you can customize the actual appearance of your PC. Not only that, but you must think. It's not your typical hack-and-slash game. Those of you who are bitter about the late arrival, well, GET OVER IT.

A very, very good game

Take notice - this is an excellent game, thoughtful and non-linear, and as true to the AD&D spirit without losing the fun as I've ever seen. Worth its money, and head and shoulders above anything else that I've seen in its genre for a long, long time.

The long awaited Macintosh version of BG has arrived and it is fantastic. I am running the game on a Graphite IMac with 128MB of RAM. The graphics and sound are excellent, 24bit runs faster than 32bit. The game ships on 5 CD-ROMs and is only available (at this time) as a single-user game. The multi-user game should be out in 4 to 6 weeks. The game loaded in about 2 minutes under easy install. If you like following the AD&D print rules (2nd edition) you are really going to love this game.

Blown away

Bang for the buck! This game has kept me rapt for hours.I haven't finished but am going to play it again with a new character once it's over. There is SO MUCH to explore. I can't wait for another version to come to MACs. Much better than Hack & Slash and I enjoyed it more than Myth II. Although a combination of them both would be even better. One problem is limited items that the player can carry. They should allow more items. I like that you need to think about it and figure out options to violence to solve the problems in certain places.

Awesome game!

I don't own this game as of yet, but every time that I see it I wish it was available to me. This game from the moment I saw it advertised on the Internet grabbed me and made me want it. I have been waiting too long for it to be released. I just have to get my wife to let me buy it. I love roll playing games. Very well thought out plot and awesome graphics. Put this game out quickly please. Joe Aliso Viejo, Ca.

Great Game!!!

If you are a fan of Dungeons and Dragons role playing games, either the pencil and paper version, or the Gold Box series computer games, then you will love this game. Simply put, it is the greatest computer game I have ever played. Much better than MythII.

Nearly as good as gaming with friends....

I take that back. With this, you've eliminated the petty arguments about who was doing what action at which time, if a druid really can cast a protection spell and who ate the DM's last piece of pizza. Deeply engrossing and easy to learn the controls. Just need more %#!@ memory on my computer, but that's hardware, not software.

This game rocks!

When Baldur's Gate was (finally) ported to the mac, I bought it and haven't stopped playing it. Anyone who was/is/will be into D&D will love this game. It runs great on my G3 upgraded mac, and a factory G3 or G4 ought to make it fly. Very good job on graphics and adaptation of 2nd edition D&D Advanced rules.

Awesome roleplaying game! Kept my attention for months.

Really great! Buying part two today. Cant wait to take my character from part one to the next game. Awsome feature that you get to keep your character across different versions.
