I had played a demo of the game, it was great so I thought that I would get the actual game. It was better then I thought. On my first try I got massacred when I tried to leave the first region by mid-leveled bandits. Still love the game, but that had me suprised at how different it is. I like playing these games, that's why I thought on getting it, it was fun to play.

Theres a steep learning curve, which is hard to get over at first but once you get a hang of the navigation and hotkeys the game is godly. Theres a loose storyline which you are destined to follow (although you dont really have to). The game is very open ended and you can pretty much go where ever you want straight from the beginning which is a nice thing to be able to do. Recommend playing on easy the first time around. Character creation determines how you will interact with your surroundings and how you will play the game giving it excellent replay value.
a good buy.

This Game Is even Better than I remember and Tales of the Sword Coast Add on makes it an totally incredable game the graphics the voice overs the background music I love every aspect of this game I have the entire Collection and several other BioWare made titles If you are at all a D&D fan then this game will not let you down it is the closest to the pen and paper as you can get and the multiplayer is just awsome hands down the only complaint I have with the Game isnt even a complaint really and that is that it is much harder than I remember but I have been playing BG2SOA for so long I forgot what its like to be so low of a level other than that the game is overall my all time forever most Faverite game only followed by its sequel if you are a RPG fan get this game you will not be dissapointed it has almost nearly unlimeted replay value and each time you play you will get a different play each time......enuff said

I received this on time. No scratches, works great. Really fun game, you can do a lot more than just play it, you can play with it.

I love this game because of it's complex trategies and the fact that you have to use your head at what you do plus you can choose who you have in your party and you can build up your characters as you go but you should build them up early so its not so hard to do later on in the game when you get stuck.

lots of fun

The game would not run on my Windows XP based computer. Although the game loaded, it was not able to run. The seller was helpfull in giving me ideas; however, he ultimately agreed to just take it back.

A classic RPG

This is a must-have for any RPG fan, and this is especially true for those of you that enjoy the lore behind Dungeons and Dragons. The original Baldur's Gate alone will take hours and hours to complete. Add to this the expansion Tales of the Sword Coast, and you have a game that will take you months to complete (unless you do nothing but play video games, then it may only take you a few weeks to complete). The storyline is really good, and the graphics, although now dated, are still very good. I enjoy the over-the-top view that this game offers, rather than the first person view of some other games. The only game I have ever played that offers the first person/over the shoulder view that works well is Morrowind.

Needless to say, pick this game up and enjoy the old school RPG at its best.

Overall = Excellent

AWFUL-Boring-SSSSLLLOOOOWWW

When i purchased this game i thought it would be fun to play a classic game such as Baldur's Gate, but when i got to play it, omg, it is so, so slow and the graphics are incredibly horrible. I couldn't beleive what I was seeing. It's horrible. The battles are the most awful thing, the characters are the ugliest thing, the gameplay just makes you want to hit your head with the CDs and the box of Baldur's Gate and throw up on it. IT'S THE WORST RPG I HAVE EVER PLAYED. It's a disgrace to the RPGs.

I like the board game, but this, this is simply a bad, bad PC D&D game. Amazingly boring. Absolutely awful
DO NOT BUY. I REPEAT, DO NOT BUY. I'm almost sure that you'll regret it.

Do not buy!!

For those people like me who were looking for a good pc game like dungeon siege just turn away. I know it looks good from all the reviews but it is absoulutely impossible!! It's good for awhile but then your guys are fine then boom they're dead. People are constantly dying and leaving if you take too long to go somewhere!! Plus it suffers from countless flaws. The battles are the worst part so just stay away from it and get a good game!!!
