Tags: Icewind Dale 2RPGRadar have given Icewind Dale 2 a spectacular review. It scored a 9.1/10, with the Characters in the game getting a 9.7/10. That begs the question, does a game with absolutely no characters get a 9/10? I digress, though! Here's part of the thing:
Now onto what Icewind Dale II is all about, hack-and-slash action! The game itself is basically based around pure combat, with the exception of a few diplomatic situations where you can wiggle your way out of a struggle through use of words. But who would want to do that, and miss an opportunity to kick some Ice Troll ass? The game revolves around one epic battle after another. You get done battling it away with a massive patrol of orcs for 15 minutes, only to be attacked a few seconds down the road by another patrol, twice as large! Although combat can soon turn repetitive after playing for hours on end, I was never left unsatisfied after annihilating a pack of Yeti. Icewind Dale II is a combat lovers dream.
Let's mull that one over.. combat lover's dream.
