Amazon.com Review:
BioWare's Baldur's Gate II is the game that keeps on giving. Already one of the most massive role-playing games in memory--especially if you add the original Baldur's Gate and Tales of the Sword Coast expansion pack--the Baldur's Gate series has provided, easily, 300 hours of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Second Edition role-playing genius. Now, just when you've got your life back, and, maybe, finished BGII, the company goes and releases the new BGII expansion pack Throne of Bhaal.
BGII is already so huge one might wonder why you would need or want an expansion. Is it because there are hordes of additional monsters to fight, a couple new classes and kits to explore (the Wild Mage, for example), new treasures and artifacts, new quests and dungeons, and the ability to reach an unprecedented 40th level? Well, yes, those are pretty much the reasons why. Why wouldn't you want to meet strange new creatures, unleash strange new spells, and listen to even more bizarre voice acting from the lovable Minsc? But the real reason to get this one is to see the massive story finally reach a conclusion. There won't be a Baldur's Gate III folks, and Throne of Bhaal lets you see the fate of the character that debuted as Gorion's young ward so many years ago in the original Baldur's Gate.
This is an expansion, not a sequel, and thus the game mechanics and animation are pretty much the same as in Baldur's Gate II. With no new animation, save the new spells, and only a handful of new beasts, this game doesn't innovate--it adds to the overall experience. Naturally, it's fully playable in multiplayer mode, and you can start anew with one of the new classes or continue with your old character. --Andrew S. Bub
Pros: - More, more, more of the bestselling Baldur's Gate experience
- A fitting conclusion to the epic story line
Cons: - Same tried-and-true gameplay, which makes it feel dull at times
- After 200 hours of BGII, do we need more?
Amazon.com Product Description:
Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal, the add-on pack to Baldur's Gate II, expands and enriches the gameplay experience by adding several new locations, high-level spells, and powerful new characters to the Baldur's Gate II game. Set in the Forgotten Realms campaign world of Dungeons & Dragons, Throne of Bhaal is the ultimate conclusion of the Baldur's Gate legend, as gamers fulfill their destiny as the child of Bhaal, god of murder.
Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal takes players through an all-new story line, rich with intrigue and treachery, as they unravel the mysteries of the Dungeon of Watcher's Keep and explore other new areas, such as the City of Saradush, the Fortified Monastery of Amkethran, Sendai's Underdark Fortress, and the player's own Abyssal Stronghold. Throughout their journey, characters may reach up to level 40, made possible with a raised experience cap of 8 million points, quite possibly the highest level ever achieved by characters in any Advanced Dungeons & Dragons computer game. Also included in the quest are more than 40 powerful high-level spells and abilities. The Wild Mage Character Kit will also be added to the already extensive class list, allowing gamers to create a powerful new character able to cast spells, with very unpredictable results.
Baldur's Gate II players will be pleased to hear that Throne of Bhaal is fully playable either while questing through their BG II adventure or after they have completed BG II.

I am a huge fan of the Baldur's Gate series and I have to say, while the game is a very fitting conclusion to the series, it is probably my least favorite of the games. The game lacks much more in character development and it became more of a hack 'n slash type game than the previous ones. I guess in some regards there isn't much left to develop at this point though. I also think the character interactions nose dive in this game. Part of the fun of BGII was the huge amount of dialouge your party ... Read More

This was the LONGEST the MOST FUN game I have ever played! And, mind you, I am not an easy customer (feel free to browse through my reviews, you will see what I mean...)
The original BG series was excellent in all of storyline, gameplay, music and stability. Now, nowadays, sequels usually mean a graphically-improved expansion (at best). BG2 is a rare exception of the sequel clearly SURPASSING the original. And in the case of such great original, this means a lot!

If you are going to buy this game you will need to go to Baldurdash's page and download some of the things on his site for it. You can increase the difficulty of the battles (actually makes for a truely epic and HARD final boss) and also fixes some plot points that were removed (Imoen's bhall taint finally manifesting, Saravok dialogue options).
The quests in this game are definately a challenge, and for the most part very fun. The biggest problem is that there really are not any side ... Read More

This expansion is a great conclusion to an excellent computer game. Baldur's Gate 2: Throne of Bhaal gets right everything that was good about the first 2 games. The character development and party dynamic are still the best in any computer RPG that I have played. The story centers around discovering your destiny as the offspring of an evil god. You and your band of adventurers will go through towns, forests, mountains, dungeons, and even another plane of existence. There are many new spells, magic ... Read More

I love BSG II. And when I got this, it was such a let down. It has cool battle's and a decent plot but I think BlackIsle could have put a little more effort into this and make this a new game (aka BSG III). I give this two stars because it does have potential. But overall, a big disapointment.
