Yes, we really missed that one, and thanks to BluesNews for finding it and brightening up this most boring newsday I can remember since 1999: Gamezone has done a review of Baldur's Gate 2 - Throne of Bhaal, and with a rating of 9.3, you will agree that they liked this addon. Here's a snip:
The graphics have not changed much. The player interface is unmodified and the special graphical effects are still well done. The audio on this game absolutely soars. The voice acting is incredible. Cespenar is one of the creatures you encounter relatively early in the game (the former ‘butler’ of Bhaal), and is indicative of the type of voice acting in this game. It is an ugly little creature, and though your first thought may be to kill it, its’ voice shows how truly benign it is, and how it is willing to grovel and serve. You can’t help but chuckle.
This game’s writing is excellent. While you are forced to read a lot of text, it is worth it. Each piece advances the storyline, and gives the whole game a very rich feel. |
