I won't go though how much a genre definer BG2 is as the other rewviews kinda cover all that. I'll talk instead about a particular use for this DVD - getting BG2 running on an Android tablet...There are many apps available on Android, but few games with the breadth and depth of Planescape Torment or Baldurs Gate.Well, now there is: GemRB (free from play store, or look on sourceforge) is an open source version of the game engine for Android (and because its not an emulator, its pretty nippy to boot!). All you have to do is install a recent DVD version of one of the Black Isle games to you PC, then copy the data files over to your android device (1.9GB),

This was the LONGEST the MOST FUN games I have ever played!The original BG series was excellent in all of storyline, gameplay, music and stability. Now, nowadays, sequels usually mean a graphically-improved expansion (at best). BG2 is a rare exception of the sequel clearly SURPASSING the original. And in the case of such great original, this means a lot!Words fail to describe the perfect harmony of brilliant ideas, emerging story-line and detailed coding that makes this game an unsurpassed classic! Do not let the slightly outdated graphics discourage you. They were cutting edge only some years ago - and you will be able to unleash their full potential even on mid-range PCs!I have yet to meet anyone who has played it and not raved about it!

This game has to be a strong contender for best video game ever. Even 20 years on it stands up well. Graphically it's a little dated, but hasn't suffered nearly so much as most games of similar age. The Infinity engine remains an effective and robust platform, and controls are intuitive and easy to learn.Perhaps the thing that sets Baldurs Gate 2 out, however, is the plot. It's extensive and utterly immersive, transporting the player to Faerun, a world of wizards and dragons, but with the gritty and edgy reality of street crime, disreputable street-lurkers and corruption at every turn. While there is a reasonably linear storyline your choices as a player have a very real impact on the plot.

Baldurs Gate II is the follow up to the very successfull and enjoyable Baldurs Gate. I'm only wiritng a review now as Amazon have advised me I never did - well sorry about that - I was too busy at the time playing the BEST RPG GAME OF ALL TIME.Now, I don't say that lightly, and I now the game has aged since first introduced, but I stand by it.It has a brilliant storyline (something often missed), excellent controls, and real interaction between your group members.For the price nowadays, its a steal. However there is another price to pay - you may lose friends, family, associates as you live in the world of Boo.The only other games that come close (both recommended also are

This is the only game that I keep coming back to. The game as supplied is excellent but once you have completed it there are loads of mods out there that make it endlessly replayable. There are extra NPCs such as Valen, Solaufein, Kelsey and mod such as Tactics that turn trivial fights into epics.I recommend also getting "Throne of Bhaal" and installing that before starting SoaA because it adds some interesting extras to the game.
