Icewind Dale II

"A great RPG experience, the beautifully exercised 3rd edition rules. The sounds and music. New spells, sub-races, loads of new monsters, etc."

"...IWD2 is one of the truest RPGs ever made."

"It's certainly not the most cutting edge game on the market, but its focus on clever, challenging gameplay in a huge, dynamic context makes it a game well worth the time of those who are bored with Diablo clones, but who just can't bring themselves to join the ranks of Everquest."

"Icewind Dale II is a stumbling block of sorts, and a clear indication that the Infinity-engine has finally reached its limitations, especially in light of the recent, fantastic development in PC RPG engines such as Morrowind and Neverwinter Nights."

"Despite moving to Dungeons & Dragons Third Edition rules, the game seemed much too familiar, it didn’t look particularly good or run particularly well on my computer, and it didn’t even come close to capturing my imagination. The Infinity Engine had a nice run while it lasted, but five games over four years is enough, and it’s time for Black Isle Studios to move on."
