Being a devoted fan of Baldur's Gate vol. 1, I couldn't miss a chance to buy the sequel. It didn't dissappoint me indeed. Good 'ol AD&D, engine slightly improved in comparison to the previous part (finally the heroes managed to walk through narrow corridors without blocking each other just in front of the monster's lair). Music as good as before, witty conversations, nice and juicy drops plus a chance to fight together with Drizzit himself, and his panther, let alone Sarevok. Oh, and romance.
Only one major drawback --the game lacks that "something". Perhaps the original adventure influenced me so much that I couldn't enjoy anything else when BG had already won my heart. Perhaps it's just me. Just check it for yourself, go on.
