"Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance"

This is such a brilliant game with one of the best two plyer modes of all RPG's. Anyone else got it and just wanna chat about it?

but it is good hack and slash - especially when you get on to the later levels and your character is tooled up.

Give baldur's gate about 8/10. totally different from FF - its nearly all hack and slash madness!

Baldurs gate looked like a great RPG and i played the demo and enjoyed it but can it even compare to FF??? i mean not many games can but still what would you people give it out of 10?

Me and my mate played it solid for two days - well not solid, and we finished it in about 8 hours. The area in the tower is cool becasue all the enemies are huge and you get tons of weapons. Shame you cant carry on and sell all the great (expensive) weapons you pick up. Is there any news on a second one for the PS2, the video sequence at the end set it up nicely for another installment!

Oops. Don't know what happened there.

I've had a quick try and it's bloomin' difficult! I'll try completing it again soon, but I'm addicted to Pro Evo and Ephemeral Fantasia at the moment.

how long does it take to do the main game on extreme setting?

great game, the two player co-op could not get be any more addictive using any legal method. ive attempted beating gauntlet mode, but its just too hard, especially when you have pro evo to play.

Baldurs gate is a fine game! I got it a couple of weeks back expecting it to be OK, but me and my mate just couldn't stop playing it! There's some decent replay value too, if you complete the gauntlet mode then complete the main game on the extreme setting, you get a new character!

This was the first game I got for PS2 and I played it mercilessly for weeks. Finished it (with the dwarf) and tried the gauntlet mode but got sidetracked by GTA3 and have not been back since. Great hack and slash fun, especially in the latter stages with kick@ss weapons and armour.
