Tags: Icewind Dale 2GameSurge serves up a loverly [url=http://www.gamesurge.com/pc/reviews/icewind_dale2-2.shtml]two page review of the Black Isle created dungeon stomper romper, Icewind Dale 2. They give it a 76% and conclude with this:
Overall Icewind Dale 2 has not offered any groundbreaking innovations or improvements to the genre. Instead they have taken from a proven track record from many previous games and expansion packs to provide gamers with another opportunity to enter a mystical world in a quest to prove themselves as heroes.
Some people may claim to be falling asleep from hours of gaming that has not provided any revolutionary changes in gameplay or combat styles, while others may enjoy the opportunity to spend a few weeks or months immersing themselves within a new storyline with several tweaks and added features.
Actually, I would say that the whole race/charisma/diplomacy thing was a revolutionary change in an Infinity Engine game. Too bad they picked a 95% combat game to add that change.
