| | | | | | Gabriel Xi "All Around It Was An Ok Game, But Only 3 Characters To Choose From Is Pretty Crappy Plus You Can't Change The Classes. The Weapons/armor Was Horrible Also. They Should Include More Detailed Looks And What's With The Elven Armor? I've Had The Game 1 Month And I've Collected Only 2 Elven Articles. How Long Does It Take To Collect A Full Elven Suit? I Mean I'm Running Out Of Things To Do Already." | Graphics 7/20

As I Have Read Other Reviews On This, I Do Have One Negative Point To Make...the Game Is Over Far Too Quickly, I Managed 9 Hours 30 Min On Normal Level, Playing Once Only, However, This May Have More To Do With The Overpowering Need For More....I Was Left Wondering Where The Second Disk Was. Bosses Were Also Too Easy. I Wouldn't Even Say This Is A Negative Point On Reflection.
But It....simple As That, And Roll On The Next One, Other Software Houses Should Take Note, And Do Somehting About It.....games Like This Are Possable After All.....snowblind....stand Up And Take A Bow.." | Graphics 18/20

| | | | | | John R Hanna "When I Bought This Game When I Got My Ps 2, I Was Expecting The Wonderful Story That The Original Baldurs Gate Had, The Way That The Old Game Let You Go Any Where In The Vast World It Had Was Amazing And The Endless Sub-plots Were Perfectly Placed And Thought Out. But Dark Alliance Just Seemed Like Something That Took About One Or Two Hours To Come Up With. And The Linear Playout Of The Game Can Get Really Anoying. The Graphics Were Moderatly Impressive, But I Wouldn't Go As Far As Saying It Was A Masterpiece. The Faces Of The Characters, However Was Very Well Done And Top-notch Quality. However, Though Most Of The Game Has Great Graphics, The Last Cinimatic Of The Game Was Horendous. I Don't Know What Happended But It Just Screwed It All Up For Me." | Graphics 7/20

| | | | | | Carlo "The Game Is Cool. There Are A Lot Of Weapons To Choose From. The Armors Look Cool Too. Thing Is, The Game Is Too Easy And Its Too Short. I Bought The Game Just Yesterday And Didn't Play Much. I Died A Few Times Because Of The Falling Platforms Thing. Thats The Only Part That Held Me Back And It Was Just For A While. Even If Its Short And Easy, This Game Kicks." | Graphics 18/20

| | | | | Doug Abbott (dwa) "Oh, My Eyes Burst With Excitment When I Booted Up The Game...
First Impression Of The Game Was Quite A Good One!
Graphic Wise: This Game Is Top Notch! The Game Moves Fluidly And The Use Of Effects Is Outstanding. I Just Love Casting Spells Just To Check Out Those Effects! Oh And The Bar Tender Is Also Quite Pleasing..! Top Notch Graphics, Snowblind Put Alot Of Effort Into Detail On This One.
Gameplay Wise: Ahhhh Pure Action Packed Fun! Grab A Sword, Shield, Bow Or Whatever Suits Your Style Of Play And Get Cracking! Ever Wanted To Launch A Meteor On Something? Now's Your Chance! The Spells In The Game Are A Blast; From Fireballs To Electrical Bolts Of Energy! My Only Complaint Is That While The Standard Attack Approach (3 Hit Combo) Is Fun, There Could Be A Little More Variety On That Part. Other Than That, Its A Blast!
Sound: The Voice Acting Is Incredible In This Game! Superb Job On Choosing The Right Actors! The Sound Effects Are Pretty Darned Good In There Own Right! Splat, Thats Right You Can Hear Your Enemies Hearts Fall To The Ground!! Music Could Be Expanded A Little More.. But Thats Not Really A Necessity In This Case.
If You're Thinking About Buying This Game, But Have Read Review About It Being Short.. Dont Listen To Them. This Game Is A Must Have! Also Dont Forget To Bring A Buddy, This Game Has A Two Player Mode As Well!" | Graphics 20/20

There Is So Many Different Weapons And Things To Do Like Finding A Madallion For An Old Man Or Getting A Bottle Of Wine For A Drunk. This Game Has Great Replay Value Because There Is So Much To Do. You Can Play The Game Again With A Different Character Or If You Beat The Game You Can Play Extreme Mode Or Play Gauntlet Mode And Play As The Character Drizzt. Upon Beating Gauntlet Mode You Get To Play With Drizzt In Story Mode. The Characters Are So Different. You Can Be Vahn The Arcane Archer, Adrianna The Elven Sorceress, And Kromlech The Dwarven Fighter. Each Of These Characters Has Many Different Abilities And Things That They Are Good At. Kromlech Doesnt Have Much Magic But Is Very Strong And Can Hack His Way Through Just About Anything. Adrianna Is Kiind Of Weak But Has The Coolest Magic. And Vahn Is A Great Archer And Can Do Many Different Spells To Enchant His Arrows. This Is A Great Game With Great Graphics And Playability And Once You Beat Will Be Eager For The Sequel!!!" | Graphics 20/20

| | | | | Chad Andersson (shagger) "Having Never Played This Type Of Genre Before I Was Not At All Sure What To Expect.
Firstly, Dark Aliance Is Very Very Addictive. Once I Started Playing I Found It Hard To Stop. You Can Be Shure Your Social Life Will Loose A Step When You First Purchase This Title. The Graphics Are Outstanding Especialy When You Are In Water (you Get The Feeling It Is Real). Gameplay Is Simple And Very Easy To Get Into. Sound Is Great And Gives You The Feeling You Yourself Are In The Area Your Character Is In.
The Downfall's Are, - The Time It Will Take You To Finish The Game (+/- 10 Hours) And The Bosses Are Way To Easy To Defeat. Besides These, Dark Aliance Is An Overall Great Game." | Graphics 15/20

| | | | | | Frank "This Is One Of The Greatest Games Ever. I Love This Game. Some Other Reviewers Who Say It Is Too Easy Need To Stop Playing It On Easy Difficulty, That Is Why It Is Easy! I Have Had This Game For Over 3 Months And I Am Still Replaying It. The Graphics Are Great. The Lighting And Water Effects Still Impress Me. The Story Line Is Well Thought Out, Although I Do Wish It Were Longer. The Sequel Should Have Multiple Discs. The Weapons And Magic Are So Cool I Can't Believe It. The Gameplay Is Responsive And Smooth, You Never Curse The Controller Because It Didn't Do What You Wanted It To Do. The Enemies Are Wonderful They Actually Look Like What They Are Supposed To Be, My Personal Favorites Are The Frost Giants And The Lizard Men. However, There Are A Few Minor Things I Would Change Other Than The Length Of The Game. Customizable Characters Are A Must. I Did Not Like The Fact You Can't Even Name Your Characters. Should Be Like Pc Versions Of Baldur's Gate In This Respect. You Should Be Able To Choose Your Sex, Race, And Class. With The Option To Have Multi-race And Multi-class Characters. Also, A Dice Roll For Your Initial Stats Would Be Good. A Random Dungeon Or Level Generator Would Be Nice Too. More Magic Spells And Feats Would Only Make The Game Even Better. The Two Player Mode Is By Far The Best Feature Of The Game And Should Never Ever Be Taken Out Of Future Games In The Series. This Game Is Well Worth The Money If You Enjoy Adventure/rpg Style Games Like I Do. Trust Me I Have Been Playing Adventure/rpg Games Since The Days Of The Atari 2600 And This Is One Of The Best Ever. All Future Rpg's From Any Developer Should Be At Least This Good. It Sets The Standard." | Graphics 20/20

| | | | | Simon Hanisch "I Love This Game!!
I Have Never Seen So Many Weapons In A Game Before
Not Even In Fallout. I Love The Weapons Effects, The Way A Disruption Weapon Fries Up A Zombie, How An Ice Bow Smashes The Armidilloes And How A Well Timed Ignition Barrel Hit By A Shock Arrow Blows A Drow Into Nothingness. The Graphics Are Top Notch And You Can Even Shed Clothing (you Naughty Boy!!!). The Only Major Gripe Is That I Have Beaten Extreme Mode (the Hardest Difficulty Level) With Moderate Ease. But As Long As I Keep Finding New Weapons Then I'll Be Happy." | Graphics 18/20

Even If The Game Is Quite Short, The 2player-mode And The Huge Amount Of Weapons Are Good Reasons To Come Back For An Other Adventure In Baldurīs Gate! But Isnīt It A Shame, That Pc-programmers Had To Appear To Show The Potential Of The Ps2?" | Graphics 18/20

I Spent A Week Of Staying Up Until 2am, Being Grumpy At Work, And Game Play All Weekend Long Until The Wee Hours And Then We Got To The End On Saturday And...wot A Disappointment. Oh Yeh, And A Couple Of Times I Got Stuck In The Picture, So We Had To Reload It. All That Said Though, I Can't Wait For The Next One To Come Out." | Graphics 15/20

I Especially Liked That Similar Units Didn't All Look Identical. The Game Could Have Been Longer And A Random Dungeon Generator Would Have Helped Out Alot, But It's A Good Example Of What A Non-turn Based Rpg Should Play Like." | Graphics 20/20

| | | | | Richard Chapplow (lung) "First The Good:
-the Graphics For Some Things Are Simply Amazing. The First Time I Jumped Into A Pool I Was Stunned. The Next Five Minutes Were Spent Running And Jumping In The Water Like A Little Kids Just To See The Water Effects. Other Effects Are Just As Good Such As The Save Points And Spell Effects.
-the Sound Is Good, But The Footsteps Of Your Character Do Get Annoying After Time.
-gameplay Excels At What It Is: A Hack And Slash Diablo Clone. Anyone Expecting Real Role-playing Obviously Has Not Read The Reviews On The Game Already Posted On Websites.
Now The Bad:
-the Game Is Extremely Short. It Took Me About 10 Hours To Finish. Not Really Worth The Asking Price In My Opinion.
-the Game Is Far Too Easy. The Only Times That I Actually Died Were The Couple Of Times That I Didn't Notice That A Particular Barrel Was One That Would Detonate. I Never Died From A Creature. The Boss Monsters Were Ridulously Easy. I Was Disappointed With The Earlier Bosses, But The End Boss Takes The Cake. I Figured Like Most Games She Would Kill Me A Few Times At Least. Not So. My Dwarf Just Charged At Her, Got Stuck In And Continued To Pound Her With My Sword And Slam Back Potions Till She Was Dead. Rather Disappointing.
-the Game Gives You Far Too Many Great Weapons Right At The End Of The Game. What Is The Point? You Don't Use Them To Kill The Last Boss So Why Even Bother Dishing Out The Killer Weapons Right At The End?
In The End, I Would Say That This Game Is A Rental Only. It Can Be Finished In A Couple Nights Or One If You're Willing To Stay Up A Bit. The Graphics Kick, But That Is Not Enough In My Mind To Warrant Actually Buying The Game." | Graphics 15/20

| | | | | | Sarah Hodgson "I Think The Game Is Brilliant, And The Two-player Feature Makes It, Without Doubt. However The End Is Terrible, Me And My Partner Sat For 10 Minutes After, Not Quite Been Able To Beleive It. The Last Boss Is The Easiest To Be Beat, We Did It In A Few Hits, And The Ending Just Sucks. It's A Shame But They Do Try To Compensate By Letting You Use Your Character Again. We Couldn't Stop Laughing When We Could Kill The Earlier Enemies In One Blow. Overall, I Would Recommend Buying It, As I Don't Think You Can Afford Not To, Just Don't Be Disappointed." | Graphics 20/20

It's Not Supposed To Be Arcade Style Jumping Over Traps And Dying 15000 Times Or Endlessly Before Maybe Figuring Out How To Get Past That Level.

| | | | | Mark R "This Is A Great Game! Firstly, The Graphics Are Great, I Cannot Find A Fault With Them, The Splintering Barrels, Explosions, Baddies Etc Are First Rate. The Sound Is Also Excellent, Providing A Real Atmosphere As You Go Along And The Voice Acting Is Very Good. It Is Quite A Big Game, It Took Me About 15 Hours To Complete The Game On The Easy Mode. Another Feature I Like Is That Once You Have Completed The Game, You Can Load That Character (with All The Cool Weapons, Armour Etc) When You Begin A New Game, Which Really Lets You Carve Up The Baddies!
It Is Basically A Hack And Slash Game But The Gameplay Is Very Addictive And Keeps You Coming Back For More.
And The Barmade At The Elfsong Tavern Is An Absolute Babe!!
I'm Not Sure This Is A Game You'll Be Playing Months From Now But It Should Keep You Occupied For A Couple Of Weeks At Least.
Highly Recommended." | Graphics 18/20

However, Although I Fully Enjoyed Playing This Game, I Think That It Should Be Noted That Is Is Nothing Like The Baldur's Gate Games That Are Offered On The Pc. Pc Gamers May Be Disappointed Because The Game Options And Setup Are Not Similar In Any Way. I Think That It Is Important To Inform People About This Because As A Pc Gamer Also, I Was Expecting Much More, And I Bought The Game Instead Of Renting It. But For Those Who Have Never Previously Encountered Baldur's Gate, The Ps2 Game Will Prove To Be Rewarding And Should Be Purchased." | Graphics 18/20
