GameOver Reviews Icewind Dale II
Posted Tuesday, September 17, 2002 - 17:13 CET by Mollusken

Icewind Dale II doesn't seem to be getting the same good scores as Neverwinter Nights, but 76% from GameOver isn't very bad either.

What really surprised me about Icewind Dale II was how sloppy some of it was. Parts of the game didn’t work right, including one broken quest, and others seemed unbalanced, like healing potions that were way too wimpy to be of any use, and a search skill that barely detected anything. Plus, I found some grammar mistakes in the game’s text, and mistakes in the manual (the preferred class of the drow is not the wizard), and almost all of the character voices and portraits used in the game are straight from Icewind Dale. And don’t even ask about the frequent slowdowns I encountered, which didn’t seem to have anything to do with what was going on in the game.
