- Baldur's Gate2: The Ultimate Collection
Wonderful! Really great story lines & adventures. I couldn't wait to get the next adventure, Neverwinter Nights.

Rating:

- Decimate some free time!
Like RPGs? Computer not quite up to recent standards? You shouldn't miss this, provided you don't mind eating up a few weeks (at least) of playing time. An excellent game- especially as far as role-playing games go. It's a little more action based, in the vein of the Diablo series, but with a decent plotline. And very customizable.

Rating:

- Older game, still very entertaining
As others have said, the graphics are dated but the storyline and structure are not.

A few other reviewers stated that there was no manual and no reference card included in this collection IN PAPER FORMAT. They do, however, exist as PDF files in the "BG2 Manual" folder of disk #1. I prefer the printed manuals as well, but for the game plus expansion and bonus disk I paid only $13.77, including shipping that took 3 days. In other words, I can live without the printed manual when everything else works out in my favour.

I purchased from "playongames-com" from within Amazon's site, first time purchase from them. Well boxed, fast delivery, and arrived in an original box (still sealed). What deal.

Very playable and fairly easy to learn; perhaps a little constrained in what you can do, but a nice balance of characters and styles. The graphics are a dated but the action is good and the story line -- as far as I have gotten -- is interesting.

- Addictive Fun
I remember playing the original Baldur's Gate many years ago and loving it. Since then, technology has obviously advanced a lot, and I have enjoyed playing many of the modern games. However, none of today's games seem to have the same charm as Baldur's Gate. So, when I decided to purchase Baldur's Gate 2, I somehow knew I wouldn't be disappointed.

I'll just list what I feel are the pros and cons...

PROS:
- It has an intricate plot that will keep you entertained. In addition to the main quests, there are tons of sub-quests to keep you busy. A self-updating journal keeps all your quest information organized.
- You have a lot of flexibility when it comes to arranging your party and creating your own characters. There are plenty of unique characters you can recruit and you can dismiss party members at anytime. You can import images for your own personal character portrait.
- The amount of items (weapons, armor, potions, scrolls/spells, gems, etc.) is incredible. You'll certainly never be bored with this aspect of the game. The item illustrations are very beautiful and detailed. The item descriptions are also interesting, and usually little stories within themselves.
- The game scenery is nicely intricate. I really enjoyed the designs of the towns/buildings and landscapes. The character portraits and brief cut scenes are also well done.
- LOTS of different monsters/creatures to battle. This challenges you to come up with different fighting strategies, because the creatures have different weaknesses.
- The soundtrack is pleasant.
- The dialogue is always clever and often amusing.
- Personally, I feel you have more control over the characters and storyline in this game, than in others. You can plan and initiate your attacks in pause mode, you can control the actions of up to 6 party members, and you always have several dialogue response options.

CONS:
- Well, obviously, the graphics are dated. However, that doesn't make it any less fun or beautiful. I've enjoyed Baldur's Gate more than some of the most graphically advanced games out there. It is, after all, a fantasy game, and I personally believe that some things should be left up to the imagination of the player.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this game as much as I have!
