"should i get Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance?"

i'm an rpg junky with nearly every final fanasy and zelda game (also have skies of arcadia: legends) and i love them to bits.

i have been hearing about Baldur's Gate off my mates but seeing how my computer is so slow i can't get on the pc. however i have got a ps2/gc and so was wondering about get Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance.

so i ask the people of this good forum: should i Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance and if so at what price second hand.

thanx
TT

It was good though, no?

baldur's gate is really short though, i finished it in only 13 hours.

atleast it gives me more time to play dark chronicals

i do love my final fantasy but i also love my zelda so it was right up my street. i loved the finding, selling and upgrading armour/weapons the best through (just like the old adventure books with each paragraph numbered so you could go on a journey with only a pencil and a dice, those were the days)

If u like hack n slash type stuff then BG is great! but if yuo prefer the classic RPG, such as Final Fantasy then you might not like it. Its also short for an RPG, but that dosn't matter, its fun!

god damn you icarus and FantasyMeister i brought them both and have no money left!!!

but i haveto say baldurs gate is a good stress reliver and dark chronical just rocks!!!!

By the way TT, you should buy Dark Alliance anyway, it's a great stress reliever with level ups in a "lite" fashion. I certainly enjoyed it.

Good luck :)

Make sure you complete chapter 5 before you send it back though, or else you'll miss out on the best bits and extras. (Chapter 5 is where the whole game opens up, takes about 40 hours or so to get there though, a bit like Final Fantasy X...)

Dark Chronicle is a zillion times better (think of the jump in quality from say... Final Fantasy 7 to Final Fantasy X, same thing here, but more so) but still with lots of randonly generated dungeons. (But there's a reason for them this time, you can play golf in them, you can beat baddies against the clock in them and you can fish in them, so if they were all small and the same it would get too boring).

Plus... ***spoiler alert***

Dark Chronicle goes on forever.

i got dark cloud and loved it apart from the random generate dungeons which seem to be a major part of it.
is dark chronicals the same?
