The standard
What can be said, while it is ageing, it is still the standard by which all other fantasy RPG games are measured? Its graphics while not flashy, do an amazingly good job of conveying the feel. The game play is superb; ... Read Full Review

One of the best PC RPG series of all time.
That is no joke. While I wasn't head over heels in love with Baldurs Gate when I started playing it (I had bought it at the same time I bought Planescape: Torment so it was up against some stiff competition) I did reall... Read Full Review

Greatest RPG ever?
Baldur's Gate is an important game - plain and simple! As an old-school D&D player from the 70's/80's (yes, I'm old) no game announcement thrilled me quite as much as Baldur’s Gate. This was the first game to provide... Read Full Review

Beautiful, amazing, and epic are words that could describe the team effort of Black Isle and Bioware in their DnD game.
Baldur's Gate could easily be considered a landmark of the gaming industry in computer roleplaying games. With its initial release in November of 1998 and the expansion (TOTSC) in April of 1999, Black Isle/Bioware defini... Read Full Review

Some minor content additions take the form of side quests and a barely expanded map. Not enough to make it great.
Reviewer's Tilt: The Tales of the Sword Coast expansion pack, while innovative in that it successfully introduces the concept of expansion packs (previous attempts for other pc rpg's failed miserably) to the PC RPG mark... Read Full Review

The revolutionary game that revitalized the PC RPG. A classic!
Back when Baldur's Gate first came out. The computer RPG as a genre was in a drastic downward spiral. First-Person Shooters and Real-Time Strategy games were the order of the day. For RPG fanatics who can't stand FPS and... Read Full Review

When I was young and arrogant, I hated it, then I played this game and now it is one of my all time favourites!
The one that started it all, at least for Bioware, that is. This RPG not only started Bioware's lasting series of masterpieces, but it also started the Baldur's Gate Trilogy. The game starts off in Candlekeep, where you ... Read Full Review

Baldurs Gate, well i'll admit when I first played BG1, I didn't gel with it. I loved the D&D universe, and remember the old old school games that TSR released like Eye Of The Beholder, but since those days, I'd gone on t... Read Full Review
