Not really into beardy turn-based RPG nonsense, but I do like Gauntlet. Not looking for in depth combat systems with magic and skill points and all that kind of nonsense, I just want to kick the crap out of some monsters and by the sounds of that's what this game's all about. SO would I be happy with this game or is it too in depth and anal for its own good?

True enough. But you have also resorted to said stereotypes Mr Pot.
Personally I like both types of games. Although fighting and point clicking with the mouse wasn't my idea of a great experience.

I dunno, i thought the game was a bit average, i had to use my pure LOTR fanboyism to finish it.
I know what I'd rather be.
Alternativly you could stop resorting to your puny brained stereotypes and grow up.
Crappy games made for illiterate morons.
It's all about getting the biggest, shiniest sword you can find and plunging it into the nearest orc's face - good fun.
I've never heard of Nightcaster II so I looked it up on gamespot. It got 1.9...
NightCaster II is cheap and cheerful with a more 'Gauntlet style' approach, so that might also be worth a look as it features co-op and is fast and frantic with loads off lovely colourful spells going of creating nice firework effects.
I would suggest Gladius but that's probably a bit too turn-based and beardy for you.
Gladiator and Conan have both made really good use of their hack and slash styles of play but unfortunately neither has co-op.
I also have D&D heroes, which is supposed to be really good (4 player co-op too) but I've yet to get around to playing it despite having it since christmas.
So yeah get BG:DA2, I doubt you'll regret it. But just before you do take a quick look at NightCaster II as it is less stat-based and more like Gauntlet than BG:DA2 is.
