They rate it at 4.5/5 and give it a "Top Game" award. Here's an interesting tidbit: 2D gaming has been fiercely underrated by the gaming populace at large, and terrifyingly, we were sucked into the maw of popular opinion. When it comes down to it, the 2D graphics scene still has a lot to offer. It helps that Black Isle clearly has some obscenely talented artists on the team, and if the stunning backdrops and scenery don't draw you in, the luscious character portraits and general spiffiness of the graphical quality will. In fact, the only complaint with the graphics is that thanks to the isometric nature of the view, close-packed combat can get cruelly confusing. Picking out your guys, and the corresponding enemy to whack is a task in itself. At least the interface has been improved, with the space-hogging sidebars dropped altogether for a subtler bottom menu, and the whole game is available in resolutions of 1024x768 and upwards, a very welcome change.
