A masterpiece of epic proportions...

User Rating: 9.8 | Baldur's Gate PC
When I first played Baldurs Gate I didn't know what I was getting mysyelf into. This game is truly an artpiece. An epic rendition of a world torn by the forces of good and evil; yet it is so much deeper than that. Although the graphics and quality are B grade, for their time they were pretty good, yet not amazing. But what is most amazing is that these simplistic graphics can so absorb you into this world. When you play this game it is as if you are not yourself in a time that is foreign to you. If I could erase my knowledge of this game and play it for the first time I would do it again and again... That is not to imply that this game is short. This game is epic in size, possibly lasting into one hundred hours, and not a moment of it dull or boring. This game will transform what you thought an RPG was and will forever make you remember it. Quite possibly the best game of all time, period. There is no game I have played that is better than this, nor will there be for a very long time. So if you think- how can I get into a game like this when it is so old? You are fooling yourself, buy it, and prepare to engage in the most satisfying RPG's of the century.
