Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn can be easily summed up in just two simple words: PURE BRILLIANCE
not only does this game help define and entire genre but also throws gamers into a worlds with so much to do and see, that this game will keep you busy for weeks if not months.
Following on from where the original Baldur's Gate I finishes your character
finds himself locked in the dungeon of a evil power made wizard who wishes
to steal your godly essence for himself. But after a quick escape you soon find that you have been throw into the middle of an outstanding adventure!, taking on trolls, golems, werewolves, vampires, zombies, beholders, drow and loads more and highly unique monsters in your quest to reclaim your godly birthright and save the realm itself.
Now while this game is dated compared to other RPG's out there on the market please don’t let this put you off what could, would and should be one of the best gaming experience that you can ever have, with a simple mouse click system and the ability to pause the game at any time to cast spells or think on what to do next even a novice can pick this up and play this game.
and as for the game itself? over 100 NPC characters that you will meet and no two are alike, each has its own and in some cases funny voice that adds to the already in depth characters. With Hollywood quality voice acting and a script/story line that puts most so called "next-gen" games now to shame this is a must play for anyone with a PC and with over 100 hours + of game play (yes it is that long if you do every single quest) this is a game that will keep you hooked for years to come
