    Music was fairy tale like, when there was any; however, I found most of the gameplay had none to speak of. Although, gamers will be pleased with the well done voice acting. The Infinity engine was heavily modified, this is the same engine that was used for Baldur's Gate. However, graphically IWD2 is a two dimensional world, nothing spectacular here. What makes it worth mentioning, is that for the Infinity engine the graphics are highly improved since Icewind Dale.

    Gameguru Mania (80/100)

    Icewind Dale 2 is definitely much more difficult then the original game, the enemy AI is well written and combat is pretty challenging, sometime a little bit exhausting, so you'll have to use all of the abilities of your party members together in order to win most of battles. The fights still take place in real time, and you can still pause the game with the space bar and use special abilities via hotkeys.

    Like its predecessor, Icewind Dale II is simply a great role-playing game, good follow-up game of Icewind Dale series, and also good last game to close the saga of 2D graphics. This game will keep you playing in your room for _LONG_ hours, so I would highly recommend it to any RPG or D&D lover.
