There is a review of Icewind Dale 2 at Gaming Illustrated. The rating is 82/100l, and the summary reads like that:
IWD2 suffers from a few annoying bugs. Nothing fatal occurred, nor any bug that I noticed in the quests, but a few strange instances of a looping audio ‘K’Chung!’ and a more frustrating slowdown on higher (technically unsupported) resolutions occurred. Always the quick fixer, Black Isle has already released a beta patch fixing some; though IWD2 feels a little more rushed than the other Infinity Engine games.
Bugs being minor, game play remaining flawless, IWD2 continues the current CRPG bounty and belongs in the library of anyone who enjoys the genre. And even though Black Isle is currently looking to employ 3D animators in a likely move to the next dimension of gaming, IWD2’s 2D graphics can’t disfigure a fun, rewarding RPG experience. |
