8/10
It's hard, it's obtuse. It's big, it's beautiful. It's cruel, it's arbitrary. It's an adventure.

8.3/10
Baldur's Gate 2 is one of the greatest RPGs ever made, and despite a few bugs, Enhanced Edition is best way to play it.

7/10
Baldur's Gate II retains some familiar flaws, but this enhanced model is one more reason to revisit a classic role-playing game.

Still the same thing basically
I won't go into detail here, because others have already done it better than I could in this review, but it's still Baldur's Gate 2 under the bling. Yes, the new party members are hit-or-miss, but guess what? Don't take them if you don't like them! Yes, the technical updates are good, especially for people who don't want to bother with modding. Is the combat still the same? Sure is, always has been. The word missing from the first sentence is "terrible" because I personally never got the hang of the combat in this game. And likely never will. But, people out there like it, so I'm trying to be objective. Also, you get the original game, if you're a crotchety old coot who dislikes anything modern. Win-win!

One of the best classic rpg's around
The enhanced editon was worth purchasing. I played this game when it first came out, and am sincerely enjoying the replay. It also includes throne of Baal and one other add on. Nice to have them all together

The best
I first played this at release when it was called "Shadows of Amn" and the original box set came with 5 discs and a paperback manual. This is obviously the better deal. I've been a fan of GOG ever since I found the Baldur's Gate series here a few years ago and play it every once in a while. A riveting story experience and beautiful environmental art. I wish I could rxperience it for the first time again.
