Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance II Review

The folks at GamersInfo.net have put together a review of Black Isle Studios’ Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance II, and while they don’t give the action RPG sequel an overall score, they clearly liked it. See for yourself:

I have thoroughly enjoyed myself every time I’ve played through Dark Alliance 2. It even inspired me to pick up some other, very similar, titles. Unfortunately, none of these have been able to stand up to the great overall presentation and fun of Dark Alliance 2. RPG fans who don’t mind a light storyline with some heavy dungeon crawling will definitely enjoy this game, as will those who routinely enjoy more action-packed games. Forgotten Realms fans will get a pleasant surprise when they complete the game, as guest character Drizzt Do’Urden becomes available. Even better, those who bite the bullet and complete the game on “extreme” difficulty will unlock Drizzt’s mortal enemy: Artemis Entreri. These special bonus characters were just icing on the cake for me, and are a much better reward than the game’s totally incomprehensible ending. The bad ending didn’t surprise me though, by that point I’d learned: Dark Alliance 2 is simply about action, and plenty of it.
