Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance Review

GameSpy has posted a review of Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance, in which they point out the comparisons between the Xbox version and the PS/2 version. The overall score is an 84%, with a snippet to follow:

At its core, Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance is an action game along the lines of Gauntlet, but there is a healthy amount of Baldur’s Gate accoutrements that adds some RPG favor. Compared to most console action-RPGs, this one is far heavier on the action side. The vast majority of the game consists of hacking, slashing, and treasure hoarding. That said, the customizability of the Dungeons & Dragons Feat system will appeal to RPG nuts. All in all, it’s a devilishly good time that’s served up with superior presentation values — a hallmark of Baldur’s Gate games.
