Once again Black Isle Studios proves it's worth. As far as RPG's go, this is possibly one of the best. The game uses a unique system to control the characters combat. On top of this, the game features an extensive and intriguing storyline, based on the world of Fae'run. The Spine of the World is in trauma; an unknown enemy has purged the town of Kuldahar of life. A distress call comes to the remote town of Easthaven and adventurers are dispatched to aid Kuldahar. You are those adventurers. A simple rescue mission leads to a battle to save the entire Spine of the World, and it is a battle you will never forget. The character advancement is one of the major aspects of the game and the handling is very different from most other RPG's. All characters in your party (six in total) are created by the player themselves. Each character is assigned a race (for example, Elf or Human), gender, class (for example, Fighter or Wizard), allignment (for example, Lawful Good or Chaotic Evil), and so on. The character advancement is a critical part of the game and it is crucial that the player has a wide range of characters to use. Although the graphics aren't exactly amazing, they are simple for a reason. The game doesn't neccesarily need brilliant graphics. The 2D graphics work well for the style of game. They run smoothly and enable gamers with low quality PC's to have the experience of this amazing game. Icewind Dale is an awesome addition to the Forgotten Realms series and extends the role of RPG's in our gaming community to it's limits. For those that love RPG's, this is well worth the money. For your concern, EB Games sells this game for an extremely low amount. Enjoy! I know I did!
