Product Details of Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II

Description

This sequel to the hit 2002 action role-playing game set in the Dungeons and Dragons universe picks up right where the original left off. The mysterious disappearance of the Onyx Tower and death of Eldrith the Betrayer had left the noble heroes trapped in an unknown setting. Yet the harbor town of Baldur's Gate is still very much part of a heinous plot to control the Forgotten Realms. Five new character types vow to stop whoever or whatever is behind this new alliance, no matter what the cost.

(much) MOTS

Strengths: It's the first game all over again, but more

Weakness: (isn't that a weakness?)

Co-op rpgs are not widely available on consoles. The first Dark Alliance provided a great fix for the hack-and-slash rpg. It was a fairly short game, though, and so the sequel probably doubled the overall gamelength. And more is good, the problem is that there are very few upgrades to the earlier game. The graphics engine is essentially unchanged, with a similar top down, 3/4 view perspective....

Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II

Strengths: Improves on the first game in all the right ways, weapon upgrade system helps the gameplay, more replay with 5 characters, nice graphic and sound upgrades

Weakness: No multiplayer beyond 2-player, no revolutionary changes

The sequel to Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance gets some nice upgrades, with more gameplay, better graphics and sound, as well as some new evolutions of the original gameplay. The gameplay gets a nice upgrade, as two-weapon fighting is now allowed, which helps in offense, and weapons can now be upgraded for different functions and effects. Five playable characters are available, up from the original...

Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II

Strengths: Like the first, a great two-player game. Game play is challenging but not impossible. There are more characters than the first.

Weakness: No really spectacular differences from the first game

Anyone looking for a Baldur’s Gate/Champions of Norrath RPG will be pleased and entertained by this sequel. It’s longer than the first, and hard to put down. There are more weaponry choices than in the first, and hot buttons to make weapon and spell changing easier, but overall the magic spells aren’t as good. The character choices offer something for everyone from a hack and slash...

Fun in co-op

Strengths: Same good gameplay as the first. Fairly mindless hack-n-slash

Weakness: Not a lot of thinking involved. Killing the little critters can get boring.

If you liked the first game, this is pretty much more of the same. Having 5 characters to choose from at the start is nice, and going through the game with a friend is a lot of fun. I tended to accumulate massive amounts of gold because I couldn't find anything I wanted to buy, but towards the end of the game when stuff gets more expensive I finally began to spend it. If you're looking for a...
