Baldur's Gate repackaged

Reviewed by XnocreativityX on February 04, 2008  |  report this review

This game is based on the Champions of Norrath game, which is just a repackaging of Baldur's Gate, so it's a rip off of a rip off... but when the game is still so fun to play, it's hard to complain. Now with it being on a next-gen system it doesn't have the graphics you'd expect, but more guys are on screen without slowdown and there are actually some physics applied to your attacks thanks to the Havoc engine. It has it's camera issues when playing 2 player and it's limited to only 2 player locally, but you can still play it 4 player online and you can certainly spend a lot of time learning all the moves and finishing all the quests. Great multiplayer hack n slash.

Block. Once you get into serious battles it is ideal to block, it will save your life against large enemies. Instead of going Gung Ho and rushing in, it is best to take your time and lay a couple blows in between blocking for the larger enemies. Smaller ones are a piece of cake if you are powerful enough.

Also, if you are in the Cursed Caverns and need some extra health...look for large boulders in the area where the rock men are. You can break some to get health or Essence. Be careful though, as busting some boulders will release more rock men.

When facing the rock men, it does not help to block. Just run away until they stop rolling then let 'em have it.
