WHEN cRPGs TOUCHED THE SKY...,
By NeuroSplicer (Freeside, in geosynchronous orbit) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME) (TOP 10 REVIEWER)
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn (Video Game)
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, emerging story-line 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 Do not let the slightly outdated graphics discourage you.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!!!

This review is from: Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn (Video Game)
great game. if you have a mac that can handle it i recommend pushing the setting all the way up and doing a full install. it seems to run much faster than running on minimum graphics (not sure why, logic would say otherwise). hours of endless fun.

A classic that never dies,
By K. Kramer - Published on Amazon.com
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn (Video Game)
I'm not going into too much detail about the game, I think other people have done that well enough.This game is an undying classing. If you are a D&D fan, you will love it. If you like roleplaying games with an engaging story, you will love it. The Infinity engine is dated, yes, but brings Baldur's Gate II alive. The dialogue is great, the story is great, the characters are sublime, you can't go wrong with this game. Simply put, if you own a mac OSX system and don't have this game, you're missing out. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

The greatest game of our age,
By Stuart R. Harrington - Published on Amazon.com
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn (Video Game)
This game, in my professional opinion, is the greatest RPG ever created. Especially considering its several years old, and it is still putting games like WOW or Diablo to shame. If you dont know how to play 'Dungeons and Dragons' (neither did I) it will probley take you alittle while to learn the ropes, (especially when it comes to complex mage battles). But hang in there, pretty soon you will be jammin through it, and destroying faces!
