    The Adrenaline Vault has reviewed Icewind Dale II, and they gave it 4 out of 5 possible stars. Here's a bit of what they had to say.

    Icewind Dale II has no byline. The brevity of the game's title demonstrates not a lack of imagination on the part of Black Isle but a conscious decision to recognize the strengths of their product. At a time when the industry's darlings are announcing virtual "pen and paper" experiences that they cannot hope to deliver upon, and when there are more "massively multiplayer" games in development than there are masses to play them, the candor of a product like IWD2 is refreshing. All it promises is a hack and slash jaunt through a familiar Dungeons and Dragons world, with more statistics and ability scores than you can shake a +4 vorpal sword at. Yet it delivers strongly enough in character development and interaction that it's making many fans stand up and question what we call "role-playing" is actually about.
