Balder's Gate 2 is a trip down Memory Lane for sure.

First of all, this is a game from 2004. It is the successor to the original Balder's Gate game from two years earlier. BG 2 - Dark Alliance is an improvement in several ways. The visual graphic concepts have greatly improved from the original. Lots more detail, and character movement is faster and more precise. Also improved, is the AI (Artificial Intelligence) of the enemies you confront. You will have to create strategies and tactics to succeed in this game. No longer, can you make real progress by doing just a smash and bash attack. If you have a bit of patience and enjoy a good RPG, then this is a game for you. Just don't expect any Skyrim type of production values. This was a game for original Xbox and PlayStation 2 consoles. It was good when you consider it was made about 14 years ago! Read full review

Great RPG for one or two players!

This is a great RPG which allows for one or two players at the same time, which is rare. The game mechanics are greatly improved over the original and they added item building! The story is ok, and the graphics are nice.Read full review

Phenomenal game design with hours of replayability.

The only reason I said the graphics aren't good is because it's a game from 2004. Otherwise, it's more than acceptable. It does have a bit of an issue playing on the Xbox 360 if too many enemies or artifacts are present so the game gets super slow until you've destroyed the barrels/crates/jars. It ran fine on the original Xbox so just a flaw in the backwards compatibility.

Overall it's a step up in every way from its already great predecessor: Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance. You have more characters to choose from, more varied leveling options, a crafting system to forge your own equipment, and it neatly ties into the events of the 1st.

If you have an original Xbox, and can overlook the early 2000s era graphics, or a 360 and can also overlook the occasional slow motion, it's one of the greatest hack and slash RPGs to date. It has earns its cult classic status for everything it brought to the genre, serving as yet another stepping stone to revolutionize the console RPG.
