    Epigamer has posted a review of Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn and its expansion, Throne of Bhaal. The combo get an excellent score of 9/10:

    But seriously, as I tried to point out at the beginning of this review, you either love these types of games or you don’t. The gist of the game is this; if you strip away all the graphics and beasts and fancy gizmos all would be left is the idea of improving your character so he can beat up tougher opponents. And this goes on for… well in my last run through the saga (that’s one, two and the add on) it was going on 200 and a few hours. My brother goggles at me, completely not understanding how doing it could be perceived as fun. And he has a bloody good point in the odd moment of clear thinking that clouds my head at key points in the game. At some points, there is little to no skill involved. You put your mages at the back your ‘tanked’ up fighters at the front and anybody else in between and go on a rampage. If you have high enough levels, you’ll win, and if you don’t, well then a trip to that quick load button will be a short pause away where you will either try and wing through the fight with luck or go and level up some more. You’ll always trying to forward that Short Sword +whatever or afford some nifty armour or spells. And that, to some people, is the RPG phenomenon that is Baldur’s Gate.
