This game is everything that made the first game good, only more and better. The graphics and voiceovers work and the story is more engaging than the last game. the introduction of romances is also a nice touch. My only complain is that with the sheer length of the game I eventually foun myself just wanting to beat the game and it just kept going and going and going. This aside it is a must have for fans of the original Baldur's Gate.
