The fighting, the games core mechanic, works very, very well. Its fun, refreshing, well made. The story, dialogue and narrative is not superb, but hey, the game is awesome.
Playing this for the second time around now and it's amazing to get that proper Baldurs Gate feeling that I grew up with! Good story, really great music (!) and sooo nice with clearer, crisper graphics and a better UI. Looking at this game with the improved graphics it really looks so much better than the original (with the sprite outlines turned off, mark me.) This game is true to the original games' style in the way the characters, dungeons and quests feel, but it's a bit more focused. This focus, while overall making the game better (quests and story line) is also what is stopping me from giving a 6 star review. The one thing I truly missed was the exploration of large areas and cities (like Baldurs Gate and Amn). This leaves the player investigating smaller areas, that though excelent, lack the grandness of the original games. But this game and enjoy it!
