Aside from that aspect, it's still a good action-oriented RPG in its own right, and possibly some of the best graphics on the PS2 come with it. Shop around and you should get it for around £15 or less 2nd hand.
If you want the best RPG out there that beats Final Fantasy, Zelda and Skies, get Dark Chronicle which was released a couple of weeks back.
is dark chronicals the same?

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 don't think i have that long to play it, maybe a few mounths but...
i'll rent it out today and see if its any good.

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