Product Description:
Set in the granddaddy of all fantasy game worlds - the Forgotten Realms. It's classic dungeon adventuring where the overall success of your entire group is more important than being the sole hero.
Amazon.com Review:
Icewind Dale intentionally avoids a sophisticated role-playing-game plot in favor of classic Advanced Dungeons & Dragons dungeoneering. The game is set in the frigid corner of the Forgotten Realms made famous by author R.A. Salvatore's novels. Many fantasy fans will be familiar with the popular setting, but this time you get to create the heroes, and the adventures are your own.
Veterans of Baldur's Gate and Planescape: Torment will find BioWare's Infinity game engine instantly recognizable and usable. AD&D fans will be pleased with the interpretation of AD&D 2nd Edition rules. With a few exceptions (no kits, no Drow player characters, no two-weapon fighting), you can assume that if it's in the rule books it's in Icewind Dale.
Players can create six characters from standard AD&D 2nd Edition races and classes as they set off to find an ancient evil buried in the Spine of the World. Combat occurs in real time (no turns), but the action can be paused at any time in order to issue new orders, prepare spells, or respond to a new threat. The designers keep combat fast by allowing players to assign an artificial-intelligence combat script to individual characters. Your party can encounter a minor monster, fire arrows as it approaches, attack it with fighters when it gets close, and then get healed by the cleric when the fighting is done--all without your intervention.
Baldur's Gate and Planescape: Torment kept players hooked with an engrossing story line and, in the case of Planescape, excellent writing. Specifically designed as a more action-oriented "hack and slash" RPG, Icewind Dale relies on combat and character advancement as its own reward. While it lacks the random dungeons and incredible magic items of Diablo, the high experience point cap and the ability to create all six of your party members make Icewind Dale a worthy addition to any AD&D fan's game library. --Michael Fehlauer
Pros: - Ability to create your entire party
- Slick computer game conversion of AD&D 2nd Edition rules
- Faithful re-creation of the Icewind Dale region as detailed by TSR and R.A. Salvatore
- High experience point cap lets players wield tremendous power--and face equally powerful foes
Cons: - Interface takes up too much of screen
- Little replay value
Amazon.com Product Description:
Icewind Dale incorporates the award-winning gameplay elements from Baldur's Gate, offering players a chance to hone their combat skills while exploring the enormous caverns and dungeons beneath the Forgotten Realms. Players create a party of adventurers in the frigid north. They must combat monstrous Cyclopes and frost giants that dwarf the player characters as they search for an evil lying deep within the Spine of the World. Icewind Dale offers character-advancement form levels 1-15 in the most recent adaptation of AD&D rule.

Any game requiring cheats is flawed! There are some essential plot developements provided. If you enjoy reading the novels, especially the North of Faerun, this game is good. I like the pronunciation of elven words but found the Elven civiliztion out of context in the frozen North. Make sure you create strong characters as well as enable your cheats, or the game is impossible!!!
The design is great. Music, special effects, and the voice over hooks you from the beginning. The role playing ... Read More

As a fan of the Baldur's Gate series, I decided to give Icewind Dale (IWD) a try. Unfortunately, Black Isles did not strike gold twice. While Icewind Dale is a carbon copy of their excellent Baldur's Gate games in many ways, it lacks the personality that make the BG series great.
IWD actually has a number of things in its favor. The character creation system is very rich, allowing you to customize your party of six in true D&D fashion. Also, there is a long list of abilities, spells, ... Read More

I've just completed Icewind Dale after over a week of intensive gaming, and I have to say I greatly enjoyed it. But looking back on it and trying to be objective I have to admit there were a few things that were disappointing.
Firstly as my title suggest, the game is alsmot totally linear. Areas and quests can only be accessesed after you complete the previous ones.
Some monsters are nearly impossible to beat the first time you meet them and require knowledge that you gain from ... Read More

I've not played Icewind Dale in a few years, but since I never finished Heart of Winter, nor Icewind Dale II, I just decided to go back and reload them. The first game is 2D, using sprites to represent creatures and PCs with painted backgrounds. While this may sound primitive compared to the full-on 3D games out today, the artwork is beautiful (as are the character portraits), the story is truly engaging, and the action really doesn't let up from start to end. My favorite game genre is RPG, and even though ... Read More

Icewind Dale has to be one of the BEST computer RPG games of all time! It has everything one looks for in such a game; from an incredible setting, to a highly original plot, to excellent multiple roleplaying options, to outstanding graphics, to extraordinary accuracy in relation to Dungeons & Dragons, and much, much more!
There is something here for everyone as the variety of challenges is large indeed, including battles, puzzle solving, and dialogue among others.
The game is set on Toril ... Read More
