- Baldur's Gate II Shadows of Amn
If you liked the old Ultima games you will really enjoy this game. While not as good as Ultima, the game is still excellent. My only complaint is not with the game but with Amazon.com. The game came without any manual or instructions. The game continually refers to the manual. The game is simply not complete without this manual. I will not buy another game from Amazon.com

- one of the best role-playing games ever
I bought the Baldur's Gate 2 Ultimate Collection from Amazon for Christmas of 2005, and I've been nothing but pleased with the game itself. It certainly lived up to my expectations, having played the original Baldur's Gate many times since 2001. If you're interested in an engaging, party-based Dungeons and Dragons experience that will probably chew up at least 60 hours to go through once, I would highly recommend it.

Gameplay: Excellent. The only drawback I can mention is the opening sequence, which gets a little old after a few replays. The game is, of course, from 2000, so don't buy it expecting advanced 3-D graphics or fully-voiced dialogue. BG2 instead has beautifully rendered 2-D artwork, which in my opinion is the best of its class (and seldom seen in later games), and the majority of dialogue is purely textual. What voice acting there is, however, is quite good and often very funny.

The interpersonal dialogue among party members, including possible romantic relationships for the player, is one of the best parts of this game. How you act throughout the game, and what members you keep in your party, may affect how the other members act; some may even get fed up and leave forever if they do not like how things are going. The AI isn't perfect, of course, but for a game of this era it's solid and a definite improvement over the original Baldur's Gate.

Technical Issues: None, so far. I installed it on my old Compaq, running on a 350 mHz processor with 96 MB of RAM; the install went smoothly. The game runs fine on this system, which uses Wndows 98 Second Edition.

Packaging: The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars was the utter lack of hard copy documentation for the game. Inside the box were six compact discs in paper slip cases: four for Baldur's Gate 2, one for the expansion game Throne of Bhaal, and one "bonus CD" with such things as conceptual artwork, item descriptions, and audio files. That was it; no manual, no reference card, not even installation instructions. There is a game manual and reference card on disc 1, both in PDF format. This was disappointing, especially after having purchased two separate copies of the original Baldur's Gate (one in 2001, one in 2003) each of which included thorough and helpful paperback manuals. I know that using on-disc documentation saves space and weight, but I just think it's somewhat inconvenient for the user. The lack of hard copy installation instructions was especially glaring; if you're not an experience computer user, you may not know where to start after purchasing this game.

All in all, though, I am very glad I purchased The Ultimate Collection, and I would definitely recommend it.

- Couldnt play it
I just bought this game, the reviews here made it sound great. I am a huge never winter nights fan and after playing that game for a very long time I just couldn't get past the graphics. They are awful. I am sorry but if you are used the graphics of today's games then this game isn't for you. I can't tell you if the game itself is fun to play, I haven't played it. I just couldn't get past the graphics. Sorry bad review from me.

- THE BEST RPG GAME EVER MADE
A sequel to the awesome Baldur's Gate...

I was addicted to this HARD CORE and could play it again and again. This game is excellent. One of the best I've ever played. You can travel with up to 5 companions making it a 6 party in all and with the HUGE modding community, well, as with Morrowind, this game is pretty much endless as well.

Even though it's an older game, it's probably the best for its time. No other game, not even Diablo II can top Baldur's Gate II for that year, no way! It was tops then and still is one of the best ever created.

More than just hack 'n slash here. You have a superb storyline where I tip my hat to the creators.

You start in a prison dungeon where your lil sis Imoen shows up, frees you. Then, you plan your escape and little by little, you seek and destroy the evil that so dared to mess with the Child of Bhaal!

For those with the gripes about the monsters being too powerful, well, you have to BUILD your character up ... try going as the Undead Hunter (no level drain) and give him a two-handed sword ... trust me, by levels 30, 40 and 50, he'll go through them like a hot knife through butter! Yes, you will be a GOD! :)

Any ways, SUPER GREAT game and worth every single penny...

FIVE STARS!

- Good old-school game.
Lot of value for the money. The only issue is at higher levels it gets a bit hard to control all of the characters.
