    Here's another review of Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter, this time from Gamer's Pulse. This time the expansion averages a 90 out of 100, with the highest score for sound (100) and the lowest score for gameplay (72).

    Icewind Dale is a hack and slash linear dungeon crawl. The expansion is no different and gives you more of the same, which is a good thing. However, it also fixes a few problems in the original, adds a higher experience cap, and a higher difficulty setting. All these things change the original game enough to make a fan want to experience the whole thing again and I think this alone is exceptional. The idea that the expansion area is available to anyone with characters over a certain level and the expansion-ready characters come with the game gives many choices to the player. It should also be noted that pure RPG expansion sets are relatively infrequent and are quite different in focus from other genre expansions.
