Baldur's Gate

Pros: I have not played a game with better sounds or game play.
Cons: Memory hog, will chop on systems with low memory.

Where to start? Well, the reason why I purchased this game is as good as any place. I bought this game mostly because I am an AD&D fan, but also because I love a lot of the games from the RPG genre.

I chose this game over others due to...

Pros: AD@D rules, RULE
Cons: Not enough time in the day to play as much as you would like.

My new game of interest lately has been Baldur's Gate. I am a true RPG fanatic, I've played most any game you can think of. With so many character's, levels, and missions to complete this game is sure to consume hours of your precious time.

...

Pros: Very good graphics and features.
Cons: Level restrictions.

I've been playing Ad&d for a couple years now and i was looking for a good RPG that was just like AD&D but on the computer. When I heard my friend had bought it I went over to his house to play it and try it out. When I arrived at his house i was...

Pros: Large world full of neat stuff to slay, not hard on the eye either.
Cons: Un-evenness of class abilities

Picture a world filled with creatures able to bring lightning from the very air you are breathing, or able to form their skin into stone that is impenetrable.

Now picture a warrior decked out in the best of armor, made form the carapace of a...

Pros: Great story, graphics, sound, interface
Cons: Too bad there are only 24 hours in the day or else I'd play more

Baldur's Gate is just about the perfect game. I'm scared to know just how much time I've spent (but not wasted) playing it. The graphics are awesome and the sound is pretty much perfect. The interface is quick and easy to learn. It's a 5 CD game, so...

Pros: Excellent character interaction, interesting storyline, and awesome graphics.
Cons: Tedious to buy and sell large quantities of items and that's about it!

For me this was the first RPG I had played in many years since I had enjoyed such RPG titles as Curse of the Azure Bonds, etc. What an upgrade! This is what I had pictured in my mind a RPG on a computer should be like. Excellent graphics; from your...

Pros: well constructed story
Cons: sometimes too hard (it gets boring to do and redo a scene for hours)

Forget about virtual reality and hyper-glitz accessories: to feel you're inside a story, you only need a great game that leads to a "suspension of disbelief", that makes you believe in what's going on when you stare at the screen. And Baldur's...

Pros: lots of hours of enjoyment
Cons: too complicated to do realtime

Baldur's gate has been a great game for me to play with my 9 and 12 year old boys. There is violence, but it's not terribly graphic, and from the less intense 3rd person view. They really enjoy the game, have gotten deeply into learning about the magic...

Pros: AD&D rules, Cheat Codes
Cons: Restrictions on Level, Boring, Long

I am an avid RPG'er. I play tabletop RPG's and have a real love for AD&D. I even loved the SSI gold box games!

So, when Baldur's Gate came out, I was very excited! I could hardly wait to play this game. Boy, was I duped.

...

Pros: Great Game Play Music And Graphics
Cons: Gets frustrating at times

If you are having alot of trouble finding a good GM to run an AD&D game look no further. Baldur's Gate combines the best of real life RPG playing without the comp0lications of keeping track of you caricter with pencil and paper. It all adds the...

Pros: Excellent graphics and ease of play
Cons: hardware requirements

I was Pleasently suprised to find this game to be based very close to the AD&D 2nd edition rules for the paper and book version of the game. It is one of the best written games I have played since the old TSR Gold box games. The graphics are...

Pros: exciting, action filled
Cons: bad FMV

This is by far the best RPG I have ever played for PC. Baldur's Gate masterfully combines excitement, game-play, plot detail, and graphics to produce the most enjoyable D&D computer game in history.
You are able to guide your personally designed...

Pros: Very fun plot, revolves around ADD
Cons: Lots of cd's.....hard to keep track

For all you guys out there who love the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons questing adventure thing, this game is for you. This game allows you to basically quest in the ADD world on your own (to a limited extent). You design your character, choosing from...

Pros: good story line, fun characters
Cons: need more spells

A friend got this for me for my birthday and I can't stop playing it. I'd been in love with the Ultima series of games but never bothered to get Ultima Ascension because of its 3D first-person viewpoint. I've never like games like that. Baldur's Gate...

Pros: excellent role-playing model, storyline, and character creation
Cons: navigation and lack of "run"

All the reviews I've read on Baldur's Gate have given it glowing reviews. I get the feeling that I may be only one of a few deviants who never bothered to finish the game. Perhaps it was my computer, but the game was just too darned slow. The lack of...
