The AI for the game is pretty challenging at this point, but it never gets to the point where you feel like there is no chance for winning. I think that this is a good idea, because just blasting though a game never gives anyone a sense of accomplishment when they beat the game. Also the AI for your party members is a whole lot smarter than in the original game. Nothing can be worse than playing through a game like this with AI party members and they are constantly dying or in need of health/mana potions constantly. This time around the AI takes better care of its members to the point where players don’t have to always keep a constant eye on them, instead of the enemy.
