RPGCodex has done a review of Icewind Dale 2. The last game using the infinity engine (most probably, never say never)They are quite pleased by what they saw, as the summary shows:
The resolution of this review is a balanced one; it's not for you if you prefer turn-based games, but if you enjoyed the Baldur's Gate series and the original game, you'll probably love Icewind Dale II, and if you're looking for a game set in a fantasy background with a nice storyline, you'll definitely prefer this over the rather lacklustre Neverwinter Nights. Be warned, however, Planescape: Torment fans, this isn't the sequel to Torment that you were hoping for... it isn't Fallout, either, but you already knew that. However, as much as I enjoy the setting of the Forgotten Realms, I do feel that it is a tired setting. It would be nice to see a game set in an original setting of Black Isle Studios' own creation in the future. |
