Product Description:
Return to the frigid north of the Forgotten Realms in the sequel to the critically acclaimed Icewind Dale. Will you heed the call to arms and face the greatest threat to the Spine of the World?

Amazon.com Review:
Return to the Spine of the World, that famous mountain range deep within Dungeons & Dragon's official world, the Forgotten Realms, for party-based adventure par excellence. Icewind Dale II is a throwback to an earlier time when D&D simulation meant six party members, 2-D graphics, and a heavy focus on story and real-time strategy game tactics.

Icewind Dale II plays like Baldur's Gate with one major difference: you create and control your entire party, which leaves you free to experiment with the huge array of options D&D 3rd Edition makes possible. Halfling paladins, wizards with thieving skills, it's all possible because Black Isle dutifully added all the new skills, rules, options, and feats given to D&D characters in the tabletop game.

The story line is long and epic and maybe too focused for its own good. You can experiment with any character combination you want, but you can't really range far and wide, adventuring as you wish. The story concerns a goblin army that is threatening human settlements far to the north. Infernal implications quickly surface as you learn that the goblins' masters might not be of this prime-material plane. The combat is fast, furious, constant, and extremely challenging. One of the reasons Baldur's Gate II worked so well was that your priest always had enough healing powers and Raise Dead spells handy. In Icewind Dale II, you begin at first level, so for half the game you must trudge homeward whenever somebody dies, which is frequent. The enemy appears in large numbers, usually with a spell caster in tow--and just beyond one group of enemies is another one. It's relentless and strategically satisfying, if more than a little frustrating too.

Fans of the earlier games who were perhaps a bit unsatisfied with the single-PC focus of Neverwinter Nights will delight in another chance to play party-based D&D. --Bob Andrews

Pros:

Full implementation of D&D 3rd Edition rules
Same old glorious tactical gameplay as the Baldur's Gate series

Cons:

Retro looking in this 3-D age of Neverwinter Nights
Often too difficult for its own good

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

- I loved it
Old school ad&d with a deeper story than Iwd. I just finished the Icewind Dale trilogy book and had to pick this up. It is good and if you loved Baldur's Gate 2 this is up your alley !

Rating:

- Check it out!
This game is definitely worth getting (especially now since the price is low), the game is very immersive. Interesting NPCs, stunning graphics, rich character system. Tons of abilities for your characters to learn. Some interesting and complex labrynths. What keeps it from getting the full 5 stars is certain sections of the plot and quest can get somewhat tedious and slow. Other than that, this game is a good balance of battle strategy, monster bashing, and story line.

- Icewind Dale II
A pretty good rpg game Not as good as Baldurs Gate 2 But still a good game Considering it's age and that it can be purchased rather cheaply It is well worth 10 bucks :)

Rating:

- Loads of Fun
I am having a great time playing this game. I play it almost all day. I like the fact you get to choose your own people to play. I get to arrange the different people to my best estimate of a challenging game.

- Could be a lot funner.
Playing Icewind Dale II reminds me of all of those novels written by American authors in the late 19th century. Though many of the novels were very well written, they never seemed to suck me in and continue reading the book. Icewind Dale II is like that. It looks nice, it supposedly improves gameplay, and it gives the player more character creation options, but I just don't really want to play it. Why? Well, at the end of the day, it seems as if Icewind Dale II is hurt by a extremely corny story; ... Read More
