Summary:
This is a very well-done sequel to Bioware's groundbreaking Baldur's Gate 2. I think BG2 is a better game largely because it's bigger and has deeper character development. Many of the aspects of both games are the same, such as graphics, interface, sound effects, etc. The story line for BG2 is a bit easier to follow than the first game, but at the same time allows you to do a heap of side quests. If you liked BG1, definitely check out BG2: Shadows of Amn.

Summary:
man, I feel so horrible for not liking this game. To start off, this game is so bustling with life, with an insane number of carefully crafted side-quests, an incredibly large game world with wonderfully drawn background art, a massive list of spells and equipment to outfit your character with, enough character classes to fill Diablo ten times over, customization like you wouldn't believe, wonderful voice acting, immersive and deep storyline that is very mature in its themes and more atmosphere than all the Resident Evil games combined plus Freespace 2. The world of this game is so complete it's miraculous, downright jaw-dropping. That's why I feel horrible in saying I do not enjoy this game for a few particular reasons. I got up to the very last disc of this game awed by its story, but the horrifically boring gameplay made me leave it alone. If you're the type that has miraculous patience for an incredibly slow-paced, ultradetailed RPG, you will adore this game. It's a very love it or hate it sort of game in the regard that it has intense strengths and weaknesses, and the weaknesses got to me too much to enjoy its strengths. I personally do not enjoy this game. Better multiplayer support may have added some variety, but clicking from place to place and talking to people, no matter how pretty the atmosphere may be, gets old after a while.

Summary:
I purchased this game 2 years ago when I first got my computer. I was uniexperienced,impersistent, and quite lazy. So when I booted this game up I didn't know what to expect. I played it for a little while and didn't really take my time or read any dialog. I stopped before ever doing much and quit the game. Two years later, after gaining much experience and age (I am now almost 15) I thought to give this game a try. Especially since I finally made a promise to myself to do my very best to beat every game I have. After really getting into the game I have a completely new perception of this game. It is brilliant,wonderful, and everything more. Read on.

Summary:
Best game I have ever played. Never have I seen a game with such a story line and as good game play. The game has far surpassed my expectations for an RPG. I'mn working on a guide right now for this amazing game. E-mail me if you want it and I'll give it to you before I post it on the web.
