I loved BG1, thought Planescape was a pretty cool game (didn't like Icewind....too much hank'n'slash, too little RPG, but thats just me) But this game has blowin' them out of the water. in the first 48hr I owned it I bet I got 6hr of sleep, if, and burned a couple sick days from work =). If role play's your bag you need this game. Laterz

Great Game

I really love this game. It is very addicting. However, with my older PC I do get a few problems. The game says "reccomend speed is 266mhz". When you get inside it is 400mhz something. That didnt stop me though, I kept playing though it was rather jumpy. I have another problem, that was my older PC blew out its CD-ROM drive, so I am tortured waiting for a new one. Good game however, I hihgly reccomend it.

This was the LONGEST the MOST FUN game I have ever played! And, mind you, I am not an easy customer (feel free to browse through my reviews, you will see what I mean...)

The original BG series was excellent in all of storyline, gameplay, music and stability. Now, nowadays, sequels usually mean a graphically-improved expansion (at best). BG2 is a rare exception of the sequel clearly SURPASSING the original. And in the case of such great original, this means a lot!

Words fail to describe the perfect harmony of brilliant ideas, interweaved story-lines and detailed coding that makes this game an unsurpassable classic! Do not let the slightly outdated graphics discourage you. They were cutting edge only some years ago - and you will be able to unleash their full potential even on mid-range PCs!

I have yet to meet anyone who has played it and not raved about it! Hard-core D&D funs will find the character building, fighting checks and balances and overall experience very close to the actual pen-&-paper games.
Casual computer gamers will notice none of the tedious stuff of other cRPGs as the gameplay runs smooth and beautifully.
You even have the choice to turn it into either a turn-based or an action game by tweaking the auto-pause options! I am telling you: this is how computers games should be!

You will let yourself get lost in the deep dungeons of the labyrinthic story; you will be laughing out loud to the humorous dialog; you will be surprised as to who is a double and triple-agent.
There is an evil beyond imagining unleashed and only you with your party can stand in its way.
Party members offer a multitude of unpredictable balancing points and diverging story-lines of their own: side quests, conflicts and love affairs enrich the story in so many original ways!

An unsurpassed classic!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

everything was wonderful, the only problem I had with it was the last battle. It was rather anticlimactic. with proper technique and strategy, the bad guy won't even touch you. And I didn't cheat.

Can You Say Perfect?

Black Isle has expertly combines Story, Graphics, Gameplay, Sound, and Action in this game. Taking almost directly off from where Baldur's Gate, the game which brought the RPG genre back from the dead. The storyline is by the same people who did the Planescape Torment story, and unless you've been living under a rock for hundreds of years, Planescape Torment's story is one of the bests ever. It has the story equal to Planescape, action of Icewind Dale, and the gameplay and intrigue of Baldur's Gate except it perfects every aspect. Imagine Almost Endless Replay Value, Tons of different endings, hundereds of sub-quest, involving story, great gameplay, relentless action, 250 hours minimum of gameplay, and just PS:T, Icewind Dale, Fallout 1&2, Baldur's Gate rolled into one perfect game. Ahh... a Word of warning, don't buy it if you live under a rock or if you don't like playing long games because of 250 hours of gameplay plus endless replay equals a deadly combo. Even a RPG hater or Computer game hater or Console game lover will love this game. Trust me. *o*
