Baldur's Gate fans rejoice! The wait is over. Baldurs Gate 2 promises to bring you back into the world you loved in BG1. New monsters, new spells and plenty of new missions should keep you happy for hundreds of hours of play. Im gonna buy it twice !!

What a role-playing game should be.

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.

Best Game Ever!!!

Eeeee. I bought BG2 on Friday, Sep 22. From that day to this, all I was doing is playing this game. I got a "zero" in one of my projects 'cause I was fighting evil monsters instead of doing the project. :) Cavaliers do not need C programming, right? To get back to the game, it is the best!!! The graphics, the story, the battle system, the environment, all too good to be true. Even the music and voice acting are intriguing. If you think there is no such thing as a perfect game, wait until you've played this game. (It does have a lot of memory leaks though). I recommend that you get the Versus guide book 'cause the number of quests in the game might overwhelm you; you need the book to know which one is optional and which one is required. Now, let me go finish that darn game so that I could get my normal life back. (Minsc and Boo! Rangers and hamsters everywhere. Rejoice!)

:)

Anyone who has played any of interplay's role playing games, such as baldurs gate or icewind dale will love this game. This game allows you to continue your journey that ends in baldurs gate and continues in the land of amn. There are many new character portraits and many new races and classes. SOme of the new classes include sorcerers, monks, and barbarians. There is also a new half-orc class. THe games graphics are impeccable and the surrounding areas are finely detailed. Even the voices and crisp and clear. The animations and character responses surpass that of Baldur's Gate 1. Also, with the new addition to kits, your hero can choose his or her own special abilities. Kits are somewhat like sub-classes for your class. FOr example if you choose to be a fighter you have 3 choices as to what kind of fighter you want to be. One example is a fighter beserker. The quests in this game are also unsurmountable. All of the quests and journal entries are more organized, and the new AD&D rules allow for a bigger variety of gameplay such as dual wielding weapons. There are many new eapons in the game also. A an added bonus, if you buy the special addition, you get a bonus disc which adds a npc vendor to the game named Deidre. She can sell you rare items that cannot be found in the regular game itself.THe special edition also comes with promotional adds, 10 dollars of your purchase of icewind dale, and also trading cards of the character npcs and monsters. Overall, If you loved Baldur's GAte or like a game with a great story background, get this game. NOW

I have been an avid gamer for 20+ years and have never before experienced a computer product as detailed and engrossing as this.Its amazing to me that Black Isle/Interplay were able to not only incorporate all of the D+D rules, characters, classes, items etc. but they also gave us that D+D "feel" that those of us who have played pencil and paper style with d20s lying around know what im talking about. Even if your new to the genre i'd strongly recommend this product. And for all you vets out there this comes from one hardliner to another: GO BUY THIS GAME!

Near perfection

BG2, as soon as i heard of it, had my interest. I played BG1 avidly, as well as Icewind Dale. I was totally expecting my high epectations to be completly dissapointed. From the second i installed the game, i knew my expectations had been completly surpassed. I had a small hard drive, and i had alot of problems due to it, but if you can install the full game (like i did after i bought a 30 gig hard drive, just so i could play the game better), then you will have bascially no problems with it, and load times wont be bad at all. The game itself is just completly huge. There are so many areas, and in every area there is so much stuff and attention to detail packed into it that it would be near impossible to know everything about this game. The game treats veterans of this genere well, as well as slipping in tips during the load screens to help the newbies. The game is absolutly spectacular, and i was apalled when i found that it did not recieve game of the year in PC Gamer. But anyway, to anybody who has had even the mildest of interest in fantasy at all, pick up this game and be prepared from the time you get home from work/school untill way past the time you should be asleep, like i do.

I want it now!!!!!!!!
