We purchased this game after hearing a few of our friends talking about it every time we got together. They would compare notes about where their characters were, how annoyed they were by Noober, what they found in the various towns. This game out ought to come with a warning on the box: It will cost you more in time than it ever did in money. However, every minute spent will be one of excitement, anticipation, and enjoyment. Even when the computer is off, you will be talking about it to your friends--comparing notes on the best tactics for each battle, who to befriend and who to anger, which.

This is one of those few RPG games that rule on the computer. It takes a bit to appreciate Baldur's Gate though. Understand that this game is not the following: 1) This is NOT even remotely close to a console type RPG (a.k.a Final Fantasy-like game). Think Dungeons

Although Baldur's Gate is easily the funkiest RPG computer game I've ever played (this is admittedly not too hard as it's a genre that I generally sneer at, with only Ultima Underworld 2 and Ultima 8: Pagan breaking my embargo), I must warn you severely. This game will take over your life. You will get up in the morning, load it up to try and level up your main character before breakfast, and then wonder why it seems to be dark again all of a sudden and your watch is saying it's time to go to bed. In this probably epic tale of a young chap finding out he's a Death God or something, there are..

First a confession, I'm no veteran to PC RPG's. I have played many console RPG's from Final Fantasy to Xenogears to lesser-knowns like Breath Of Fire. But computer RPG's were completely foreign to me... until one day when I found myself interested in what they were really like. I heard Baldur's Gate was an excellent RPG so I went over to my local Comp USA last summer and picked up a copy. I'm pleased to say that while not quite perfect, Baldur's Gate is a very deep and engrossing RPG and belongs in every PC gamer's as well as Role-Playing-Gamer's collection. Even though I am not particularly..
