    A pretty good if a bit basic game, with a wonderful multiplayer option. Good fun without having to stress over complicated puzzles or stats; everything is tailored to accommodate even the newest newbie and the greatest D&D fan. The samey nature of the game may put some off, but its good swashbuckling fun and will last you a while. Read more

    While not due out for at least another year, "Ego" is likely to change the way RPGs are made forever. With revolutionary game play, unheard of player freedom and stunning graphics, "Ego" is almost certain to find its way on to every Xbox owner's wish-list (Big Blue box is a second-party Xbox developer and Molyneux mentioned that its game play would not translate well to a keyboard and mouse setup so do not expect to see it anywhere else). While the cautious gamer will be... Read more

    The Baldur's Gate series saw its first console iteration in late 2001 when the Playstation 2 version of Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance was released. Combining the Forgotten Realms world with more Diablo -esque gameplay proved to be a success for Interplay, as the game was praised by critics, and sold well in what was a very competitive Christmas season. The game was later ported to the Xbox and Gamecube, and met further success - enough to inspire Interplay to commission a... Read more

    The game are very addictive, i played and completed the game in few hours, played it with my brother in coop mode, it works and is great fun tho i don't think it would be fun to complete one more time even if you used another of the 5 characters. PS2 rules! ----Edited by user 11/03-2004 14:29 Read more

    I first played baldurs gate on the pc as a freebie. I thought it was amazing and when i got my xbox this was the first game i thought of buying. I wasnt sure wether to buy it or not and looked on amazon for some reviews. Unfortunately i did not take any notice of what they had said and bought it on a friends reccommendations. I was raring to play on it and put the disk in as soon as i got home. I was aboslutely gob smacked by the pure rubbishness of this game. Do not buy... Read more

    Fun: This review is from: Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance II (Xbox) (Video Game) If you played the first Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance game either on the Xbox or the PS2, then there isn't much I need to tell you: The number of characters you can choose from has increased from three to five, and if playing in multiplayer you can still only have a maximum of two players even though the Xbox supports up to four. The next thing is something which leaves me (for a change) rather... Read more
