Baldur's Gate

Pros: everything else but...
Cons: bugs

Baldur's Gate would be a perfect game if it didn't have so much bugs. Even with 3 updates, I still experience trouble running the game with a moderate speed CPU. Also I don't appreciate the fact that my character could only gain a limited experience...

Pros: Great graphics and interface, completely customizable
Cons: Too long, expect to spend months to finish

I think that I have started and restarted this game more times than I want to count. It has high replay value because you can customize your character completely, its appearance, voice, and attributes are all up to you. The storyline changes slightly...

Pros: Dialogue, characters, combat
Cons: Breaking CDs, monsters re-appear, multiplayer pointless

RPG's are my favorite kind of game, and I liked the old D&D games as well as Fallout and Fallout 2, so I bought Baldur's Gate as soon as it came out. I found it to be enjoyable, strikingly so at first, but I lost interest in the middle of the third...

Pros: Great Fantasy adventure game, Many options, tons of quests
Cons: Time Consuming...you forget to eat...sleep

I have played many Role-playing Games. Baldurs Gate by far is one of the best games that truly do role-playing justice. It has a spectacular plot and will leave you guessing. Playing this game will be like casting your self into a vortex that consumes...

Pros: Big world to explore, Almost Everything
Cons: Cd Switching UGH!

Ok first off let me say that this is one of the best rpgs i have ever played. It has almost everything and you can travel in a big fantasy world with demons, monsters and even people who will join your group or they may not depending on how good you are...

Pros: fun for fans of the genre
Cons: repetitive, one sided combats, annoying sound, slow pace

This game was a lot of fun for around a week. The plot is ok as long as you don't fall off track but if you do get stumped, it may be difficult to progress through the chapters. Many of the set fights are overly challenging, causing you to abuse...

Pros: loads of fun, lots to explore, true to AD&D
Cons: sometimes linear plot, surprisingly hard in some places

Let me start off by saying that I typically buy every AD&D computer game that comes out. I've been buying them since the very first one. Which, by the way, was "Pool of Radiance" if you didn't already know. I have loved a few of these games...

Pros: Seamless storyline, excellent plot
Cons: Interface tiresome, unpractical

Ok, folks, I'm a huge computer RPG fan, having bought all Might&Magic series, all SSI games, all Bethesda titles, etc. I did thoroughly enjoy Baldur's Gate and here's why:

1. Fantastic story line. I felt the storyline was believable,...

Pros: Excellent sound and music, and depth
Cons: Gaining levels is quite difficult and can be frustrating.

At first I was a little skeptical about this game. I was in Best Buy (a local store that sells games, computers, music, etc.) browsing the games that they had on the shelves. I saw a box with a skull on and it said. Baldur's Gate. I play AD&D and i...

Pros: good Audio, graphics, fantastic
Cons: you have to memorize spells

Very few computer games based upon Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, the most influential role-playing game system of them all, have been released over the past several years, and those that did make it to retail shelves have been...

Pros: Definite replay ability.
Cons: Discs, discs and more discs.

I must admit that I was reluctant to believe that the true AD&D experience could be found on the PC. Boy was I wrong! I remember sitting with my friends and playing at the dice all night long, until I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore, and here...

Pros: Almost everything - graphics, sound, gameplay, AI, plot...
Cons: Not for quick-fix action freaks (if you got as far as reading this!)

NERDY

Role Playing Games are for nerds. At least that's what I believed until I took a chance and bought Baldur's Gate. I knew nothing about the game, so my choice was a bit of a stab in the dark (coupled with the fact that the game was on...

Pros: Good solid game play, great adaptation of D&D
Cons: Graphics a little low-res, nasty bugs (fixed with patches)

Like many others, I played a lot of Dungeons and Dragons in my younger days (late 70s early 80s if you must know) and have watched the proliferation of computer games that claim to bring D&D to the PC (anyone remember Wizardy version 1?). I haven't...

Pros: Sticks very closely to AD&D rules (if you consider that a good thing), takes up 6 CDs
Cons: Those 6 CDs don't have much in the way of anything interesting on them. Badly-incorporated nonlinear gameplay that makes it unbelievably dull.

I'm sure by now you've heard everyone and their mother talk about how wonderful this game is -- but is it really that great? Now that the sequel's coming out and you haven't played it, you'd certainly better get hopping to the store with a credit card,...

Pros: Plot, ease of manipulation,smooth screening,multiple levels and scenarios
Cons: Can freeze up

Baldur's Gate is a great role playing game. There are hours and hours of scenarios and endings in this game. I have several different ones going at once and work on each one a little at a time.

I love all the options that are available. The...
