Another newsbit about a review for a PS2 title here at RPGDot :-) - Gamespot has reviewed Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance and found it to be a very worthy game, with a score of 8.8/10:
Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance offers a moderate challenge for the manually dexterous player but also offers many save points to make progress through the adventure relatively painless. The small number of puzzles encountered may be frustrating to some, but once solved, they need not be repeated. Some players may find that some of the potentially more climactic boss battles are too simple, while those with other characters may find these same battles far too hard or time consuming. Each of the characters is balanced enough that implementation of the proper situational strategy will safely guide you through the complete adventure without any real stumbling blocks. If there is one major flaw in Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, it is that you can quite possibly complete all three acts in well under a dozen hours, and you'll most likely be left wanting more. There are secrets to unlock upon defeating the game, and the opportunity for another trip through as one of the other characters offers considerable replay value, but no doubt most will find that a single venture through this small corner of the Realms is enough.
Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance is the beginning of a wonderful story, and it would be a shame not to see it continue in the future--the potential for it to spawn a successful console franchise is remarkable. You can really appreciate all the work that went into making sure that all of the little things came together so nicely. Anyone with a love of the source material or those who can appreciate an immersive, combat-based experience will have a blast. |
