Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition

Can't get this to work on my Windows 7 machine, it's so choppy I can't get past the main menu.

Great game and an even greater enhanced version! This game is enhanced by the superior graphics, the better characterization and the challenging combat. Thank you for enhancing this great old game! Hoping for more from you Beamdog.

Ok I tried to give it a shot but I had to wear glasses to play the game everything was so dang small I couldnt enjoy the game. Was hoping the enhanced was a good versian save your cash folks just buy the other Icewind dale

Talk about having your B-team work on a game. Icewind Dale is a notable step down from Baldur's Gate (even the original). It is one endless slog through unimpressive dungeons with brief periods of respite in the central hub to buy supplies and upgrade gear. The battles feel far less tactical than in BG, with the difficulty artificially increased via throwing waves of enemies at your party (most egregious in the Egyptian-style dungeon with literally dozens of weak skeletons lumbering at you). As a result, gameplay feels tedious instead of rewarding. If you're into simplistic hack 'n slash combat against hordes of goons, you'll eat this one up. If not, save your money for the vastly superior Icewind Dale 2, they knew what they were doing that time around.

Many reviewers have pointed out the great improvements. If you liked the original version, then buy this one. Many of the things I would say "I wish they had done this..." has been done in this new enhanced version. Love it! Thank you for making it. Keep them coming, I will buy.
