Like RPGs? Computer not quite up to recent standards? You shouldn't miss this, provided you don't mind eating up a few weeks (at least) of playing time. An excellent game- especially as far as role-playing games go. It's a little more action based, in the vein of the Diablo series, but with a decent plotline. And very customizable.

Wonderful! Really great story lines & adventures. I couldn't wait to get the next adventure, Neverwinter Nights.
Loved the prequel, the sequel is even better

This game is so much fun. It's much more free and not totally channeled into the storyline as Icewinddale is. You have to use caution while playing because you can encounter dragons and liches early on in the game when there is little chance you can beat them. Choose your quests wisely and save often.
Incredible Value for Great RPG!!

If you have not played this title and are a D&D fan, or even just an RPG fan, I would highly recommend adding this title to your collection. I purchased this game for around $[...] for the entire game WITH the expansion. Even though the graphics are starting to show some age, there is far more to this game to make it a wonderful experience overall and for that kind of price you really shouldn't have to think twice about it. This game is huge, has top notch sound and a deep immersive story. There is easily a few hundred hours of gameplay here for most people, after all this is, and probably always will be, one of the largest games ever developed by Bioware. If you have ever played Baldur's Gate 1, you will notice a lot of improvements in almost every aspect and it supports importing characters from BG1. However, it isn't in any way nessesary to have played BG1. The only regret I have with purchasing this game, is that I didn't do it years ago, but either way im sure I will be ejoying this game for a long time to come. Not only does this game have a lot of replay value, but there is also still a large online community for it, and a lot of mods and addins. Overall, this is one game that I am glad, I didn't let slip past me.
A great game both for its time and holding true today

Baldur's Gate 2: Ultimate Collection (Shadows of Amn and Throne of Bhaal)
If you start to play this you'll soon see that the above statement is true. Following the ruleset of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (version 2.0), this game is highly addictive and allows for a great deal of customization (within reason) of your character and the party that follows you on your quest to learn more about yourself. This is not a chessy storyline in any way as there is good reason to "search for answers". I'll not give it away but if you haven't played the first it could blow your mind. The fact that this game comes with the expansion for it and costs not much more if not the same as just the game itself this is a very good deal. The only flaw is that its multiplayer community doesn't exist anymore as most people have added modifications to their own copy so be forewarned, unless other people you know in real life have this game, don't get it for it being multiplayer.

I love this game. It's action packed and It takes time and patience to build up your characters in order to defeat this game. A walkthrough comes in handy too. lol.
A very good classic

I have been playing this game since i was 16 when it first came out.
Basically you can do anything in this game, be anybody, or actually just do nothing. If you get this game i recommend getting throne of bhaal because it makes this game even more fun.
Funnest game ever

I think this is one of the funnest games I have ever played. I am addicted to it. I have already solved it, but I am going back through it again non stop to try to find things I missed and different routes the game offers.
