84/100 - that is the rating at Gamers Pulse as they review Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance for the PS2. Here is their summary:
Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance never pretends to be something other than a scaled down, action-heavy entry into the series - aimed squarely at pleasing a console audience. Limited scope of gameplay, simplified combat, a bare-boned story; these prevent the pace from becoming bogged down in typical RPG statistic, strategic, and narrative detail. Addicting through it's ten or so hours of gameplay- and even a bit beyond due to a two player mode and character-importing system - the game is visually superior and, because tightly focused and honest in its claim, ultimately satisfying. Fans of both the series and of solid, action-packed dungeon crawls would be well served by playing Dark Alliance.
