 ZOMG GREATNESS!!!! May 2, 2009

If you played it before, buy it again. Still that good after all these years. If you are too young, go play Halo or Crysis. I am sure that is more to your style.
Baldur's Gate for XP March 29, 2009

It's old style, but I love playing, still ongoing on the game, and I luv the hack and slash games. So until a new PC version of D&D comes along this set is excellent. This set makes game playable on an xp os, and I DO NOT HAVE TOO, IE I'm not forced to go online to play, of course if you like the online experience it's set up for that too.

Using BGTuTu (Google it!) you can play through the entire saga in one seamless adventure. It's an amazing game that lasts a LONG time (40 hours if you rush!).
This experience should not be missed by anyone who is a fan of classic PC games, Dungeons & Dragons, or RPGs in general.

First off let me just say that I have played all of the games included in this package except the first expansion.(Tales of Sword Coast) And I loved every minute of my adventures. I noticed some people talked about the graphics of the game as being bad when compared to Neverwinter Nights. The Infinity engine (Which all of the Baldurs Gate games use) is a 2d isometric engine and neverwinter nights has a 3d engine BUT, personal preference here, for an isometric top down scrolling game I enjoy the artistic quality of the 2d engine better... Its not 3d but for some reason I think its cooler; maybe its nastalgia but I think that because the 3d perception is done through 2d bitmaps painted to give the allusion of 3d and not texturised 3d models, it gives it more of a classy feel. I only feel this way about top down scroller style games; of course. I think the 3d models used today in games such as neverwinter nights and age of empires 3 for example (cotrasted with Baldurs Gate/BG2 and Age of Empires 2 respectively) feel more "chessy". The older 2d games have more personality and feel realer in a way even though they are dated and 2d. But that's just me. Oh, the only thing is that if you are going to play these games, I recommend playing them on a CRT monitor at like a 1024x768 resolution (I think BG2 supports 1024.768, BG1 only supports 800x600 or 640x480 but CRT's scale really well). Or play it on a an LCD with a lower native resolution then what most models have today. Let me just say that playing these games on new high res LCD monitors basically ruins them. The bitmaps, which can't be rendered at higher resolutions natively, just don't scale good enough to do them justice.

Baldurs gate 2 is probably the best game ever. Great storyline, great gameplay and memorable characters. If you want the full experience, you need to play all four games, which is why this pack is perfect.
