Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance casts you as one of three basic characters: an elf sorceress, a human archer, or a dwarf fighter. From there, you're set free inside a huge Dungeons & Dragons world replete with dungeons, forests, ice caves, and much more. Naturally, it's all filled to the brim with horrible monsters, wicked traps, treasures, and fabled magical weapons. As you go, you're constantly rewarded with new weaponry, new monsters to fight, and experience points you can put into your character stats to grow even more powerful. You can swap equipment in an inventory "paper doll" screen; those changes will be reflected in your onscreen character, so you'll start with simple weapons and a drab appearance, and you'll end up a big, mean superhero at the conclusion.
The graphics are simply wonderful, and the controls are accurate, responsive, and fun to use--which is necessary for the constant hacking and slashing required. The game is all the more fun when you recruit a buddy and play the game in cooperative mode. --Bob Andrews
Pros:
- Fast, furious fun with great graphics
- It's even more fun with a friend!
- Might disappoint PC Baldur's Gate fans looking for something deeper

Customer Reviews of Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance
RPG at it's best! The first thing you'll notice when you begin Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance are the beautiful and detailed graphics. The backgrounds are filled with amazing detail and the cut-scenes are as good as you can find for the PS2. Game play is pretty straight-forward: hack & slash, accept a variety of quests and learn new skills while exploring level after level (very typical of a D&D game). Broken up into three chapters, BG:DA offers new twists as you track down the evil that threatens the town of Baldur's Gate. My only complaint is that I managed to finish the game within three days (seems to be a common feeling among reviewers), but still had two other characters to explore, adding some replay value to the game. Plus, without trying to give away too much, the cliff-hanger ending leaves you begging for more! A definite 5 out 5!
Better than I expected.
I finished the game and very pleased that I had purchased it. As a fan of the series on PC I was very pleased with the transition to the Playstation. The graphics are great and no lags during combat. The storyline is pretty good but it leaves it open to continue the series same as PC versions do. The character you play is limited to archer, fighter or sorceress with the development a little lacking but you still have control over your stats on advancemnt. The story is slow to develop and the side quests are few and usually completed during your normal quest but this is made up for with playability. Controls are quick and easy to adjust and adjusting camera angles allow for a better experience. Weapons and Armor both enchanted and not are plentiful in types and quantity. Spells are somewhat limited but you develop them to more powerful levels. To any RPG or Baldurs Gate fans they should enjoy the transition to Playstation with this game and hope of future releases in the series.
