5.0 out of 5 stars WHEN cRPGs TOUCHED THE SKY, May 6, 2009

By	NeuroSplicer (Freeside, in geosynchronous orbit) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This was the LONGEST the MOST FUN games I have ever played! And, mind you, I am not an easy customer (feel free to browse through all 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! This COLLECTION contains all the sequels, patched with the latest fixes. Do not let the slightly outdated graphics discourage you.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!

A collection of unsurpassed classics!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Any video game fan MUST own this, August 16, 2008

By	Charles P. Frederick (Cambridge, MA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This game, along with about four or five others (thief, deus ex, homam2, ff7, jedi knight), are the only really good single-player computer games.

Why is Baldur's gate so high up there? Huge game world full--really full--of things for your character to do or not do with plenty of consequences either way, tons of characters to interact with, some very difficult and challenging sequences, and huge replay value for the wide variety of characters the game lets you create. It even has a fairly good-quality story to go along with it.

Get this game from whatever source you can.
