Baldur's Gate

Pros: non linear gameplay, just plain AD&D fun
Cons: occasional crashes

Having been a long time fan and avid player of TSR's AD&D games I have played many of the computerized attempts to duplicate the fun and excitement of the old paper and dice game. Until now, for the most part, I've been sorely...

Pros: Rich game play, Accurate and playable portrail of AD&D paper and pen system to PC
Cons: Long load times if you don't install the ENTIRE 2.4 gig GAME!!!

I must admit I have played more then 20 roleplay games in the last 4 years and Balders Gate stands head and shoulders above the rest. For instance Just starting out was a plesurable change from the norm. You are given a random amount of points and YOU...

Pros: The detail really brings Dungeons & Dragons alive.
Cons: Not for impatient players.

If you are a role-playing fan, a dungeons and dragons fan, or a fan of real time strategy games, Baldur's Gate is definitely a must try! The game takes place in a land of wizards and warriors, paladins and giants. You play as you, because you have the...

Pros: A true computer roleplaying game
Cons: None at this time

I bought this game because I'm into roleplaying games of TSR. I been playing role playing games for at least 16 years. The game is a good price for the cost of most games.

I choose this game because interplay been known to make great...

Pros: Great Role Playing Experience, 100+ hours of adventuring,
Cons: Pathfinding, Walking Speed

This game has a lot going for it; great graphics, beautiful background music, in-depth storyline, developed NPCs, and AD&D lisence. What more could you ask for! You create a character from 6 different races (Elf, Half-Elf, Dwarf, Halfling, Gnome,...

Pros: Great graphics and variety of options
Cons: Minor AI problems

As a veteran of AD&D since the Gygax days I wondered if any computer game could ever come close to the real thing. Baldur's Gate does! In multi-player mode you can select your six character's races and classes and roll up their stats. You want...

Pros: interactivity, scenery, engaging plot
Cons: loading time

I haven't explored the computer RPG genre much, but I doubt I could do much better than Baldur's Gate. I also bought the expansion pack- Tales of the Sword Coast (which added to my enjoyment of the game since I could go to higher levels and explore more...

Pros: graphics, rich story, challenging but quick to understand
Cons: It has an automatic save feature after some events and more than once it caused displeasure

This game gave me the most enjoyment I have had in years. It is a very extensive game with great detail, in 15 years of playing I have to say it is the best one I have played. I was able to learn how the interface of the game worked and use it with ease...

Pros: Almost faithful adaptation of the AD&D 2nd Ed game rules on computer for those that like that concept.
Cons: Annoying disk-swapping to often (but I understand that this is lessened by a full install if you have the HDD space?)

I just had to write a review of this game. Why? Well, in Oz, the price has recently dropped by something like 70% from when I purchased it at full price (Hang-on... I got it free when my wife won a raffle ran by my daughter’s basketball team! Okay, so...

Pros: Long gameplay, keeps you interested!
Cons: On five disks, you will see yourself changing regularly!

Well, I purchased this game, mainly on the grounds of the fact that I am very interested in RPGs in general, little did I know, that I had just purchased an extremely addictive game. I looked over all the games in the genre, steered away from the...

Pros: Rich, complex world
Cons: You won't get a good night's sleep for months

We purchased this game after hearing a few of our friends talking about it every time we got together. They would compare notes about where their characters were, how annoyed they were by Noober, what they found in the various towns.

This game...

Pros: Great graphics, game play, fun factor, and overall everything!
Cons: Could have used a better multiplayer.

Wow. That's really the only word you can use to describe this amazing game. Baldur's Gate is an RPG done in the old AD&D style, and it follows the rules of AD&D very closely. BioWare and Interplay really struck gold here, and did...

Pros: All around wonderful game
Cons: A bit slow for adrenaline fiends

I recently acquired the Baldur's Gate computer game. I was about washed up on fantasy games until I made this incredible discovery.

What makes Baldur's Gate such a wonderful game?

If you've ever played Dungeons and Dragons (the...

Pros: Excellent RPG
Cons: NONE

I was doubtful when I purchased the role playing game, Baldur's Gate. I had heard from friends that it was not everything it boasted. Boy was I in for a surprise. I was stunned by the opening cinematic sequence. I had no idea that this game would be...

Pros: Everything about it!!!
Cons: not a thing

This game rocks! I was totally engrossed in this game. I have been playing this game for almost a year and still have not beat it. The story line is sooooooo well written. What happens is that your father Gorian has been killed by a mysterious person...
