    At The Mushroom Baldur's Gate 2: Throne of Bhaal is given 8 out of a possible 10 mushrooms. The whole review is found here.

    For the most part, I very much enjoyed Throne of Bhaal. The plot was good, the dungeons were interesting, and the surprise new party member was a lot of fun. :) However, since it was such a high level campaign, almost every battle is very difficult. The entire thing (especially the Watcher's Keep) was exhausting. Every fight, every puzzle, and every NPC encounter was intense and required a lot of careful thought. This was the first RPG that actually fatigued me mentally while playing. On a few occasions I wanted to continue, but had to quit and do something else for a while because it was so draining. This challenging style of play makes finishing the game all the more satisfying, but it's truly a test of will to get all the way to the end.

    For fans of the BG series, Throne of Bhaal is simply a must-own. Its your chance to laugh at Minsc, argue ethics with Keldorn, and wonder if Jaheria is capable of having an orgasm (I doubt it). Its certainly no cake walk, but in the end, the rewards justify the effort.

    Another review is found at Multi-Player Online Gaming. Here you can find the whole article.

    Throne of Bhaal may be the last of the Baldur’s Gate series, but I feel that by far it is the best one of them all. If nothing else, not only have they have done justice to the Dungeons and Dragons license, but they have also paved the way for all future computer role-playing games. This epic saga was by far the best of its kind. Throne of Bhaal is perhaps, no – Throne of Bhaal is the best conclusion to a game that I have ever played.
