1-20-2004 Release date for USA
pros
Should be an awesome Diablo clone like the 1st. 80 levels instead of 40. 5 characters instead of 3. 2 hidden characters instead of 1. And an item creation system.
cons
Basically exact same engine. Still just 2 players. No customization to characters. No random levels like PS2s Champions of Norrath or PCs Diablo. No Xbox Live.

I was never a really large fan of the Baldur's Gate series on the PC. However, the series for the ps2 has caught my attention. The storylines are lacking alot but the gameplay makes up for it. I have been looking forward to this sequel for quite awhile and look forward to playing it even though the character customization is horrid

Aldreth, you ROCK! 
You're one of the few brave an honest enough to say you didn't care for the BG series on PC. I feel the same way. Been catching grief for years because I dont think BG1 or 2 was worth a poo. Felt like I was playing someone elses characters all the way thru the game. There were some funny lines throughout, but the Fed-X quests drove me crazy. So much potential, so little of it used.
I did however love Icewind Dale 1&2

Some friends and I road-tripped to St. Louis to see a band called Celldweller. We ended up staying for about 3 more days than planned because of Ice/Snow storms. Anyway, they brought a PS2 & Baldur's Gate DA2. It smokes the first game. The characters have way more variety in feats. You actually can switch between 3 weapons on the fly(instead of just melee & ranged). You can map feats on your face buttons like you can in Xbox's D&D heroes. I only played 5 1/2 hours but that was not even finishing the first of 4 acts. I am guessing the game is twice as long as part one.(IE 20 game hours instead of 10) There were TONS of traps and I don't remember any in the first game. You still have multiple difficulty levels so you can import your leveled characters into higher levels. Multi-player is a blast...but like BGDA1 it is much easier this way. You actually have to train to use different types of weapons. Armour actually looks different for each character. The item creation system will give this a lot more replay value than the original. The original got old after a few plays through because you had no new items to find. If you like the original, this is a must buy!!!!

I don't/didn't like the PC Baldurs Gate games either. I like to be the lone hero, not much of a party person. But the Baldurs Gate games on the console are quite fun, and BGII is no exception, I've just about completed the game with the barbarian and it has been quite an enjoyable experiance. Lots of new niffty things in the game. |
