ESCMag has posted their review of Icewind Dale 2, which they gave 7/10 points and this conclusion:Unfortunately, all the interface upgrades in the world don't do a whole lot for the visuals in Icewind Dale II. The background maps are spectacular in both their tone and their imagery, but the character sprites remain basically unchanged from what they were in the original Icewind Dale, and while the monsters often have new animations to augment them (even lowly orcs), the overall look of the game is dated. The generally recycled nature of the character voiceovers, the majority of which are identical to those found in the original Icewind Dale and its expansion pack, Heart of Winter, doesn't do a whole lot to help things, though Inon Zur's musical score does add a breath of fresh, frosty air into the proceedings. |
