A wonderful piece of work that has set the standard for RPGs ever since and is most definately still worth playing. If you haven't ever played it then you should, I am positive that huge numbers of people like me will be spending their hand earned money on this for the second time round on GOG and that is the greatest possible compliment... I note that only one reviewer so far has not given BG a perfect score - not because of its content but purely because its not as good graphically as its sequel. If you agree then fear not as there is a fan produced mod that runs BG on the BG2 engine: http://www.pocketplane.net/tutu Enjoy...x
What a delight to get this on GOG - for free no less! Just what GOG was made for... I must admit its now terribly dated although I loved this game in the day and spent huge amounts of time on it without ever finishing it - so I was delighted to have the opportunity to finally lay it to rest. It is exactly how I remember it - full of character, funny sometimes, but difficult. Well, I say difficult but actually its quite easy up to a point then finishes with a couple of harder puzzles. I genuinely enjoyed playing through where I had played to before but I must admit I googled the ending as I simply don't have as much patience these days for old school unforgiving games. That is why the mediocre score - if you remember this then its a great memory, but it is probably expecting too much home mapping for a new player to bother to finish it (without cheating like me :) ) - observe the new hints system they have had to put on the new Monkey Island remakes - and though I like LOTT, its no Monkey Island...
