Gamer's Pulse Reviews IWD II
Posted Monday, October 14, 2002 - 17:13 CEST by Mollusken

Icewind Dale II gets one of it's lowest scores this far, with 35 out of 50 (though the site doesn't say max is 50, but they stated 35 as "above average").

I was a little disappointed with the sound in the game. The sound effects were on par with Black Isles other games and there can be nothing negative said about them. I thought the music was quite repetitive though, there are multiple scores but the music just seemed to grate on my nerves a few times while playing. I think there was a vast difference between this game and the original Icewind Dale. Even if I didn’t enjoy the music that much, I can’t say anything bad about the voice acting in the game. Every actor who did voices for Icewind Dale 2 should be given an award. They are so very in character I was amazed. The NPC’s were not the only ones with the talent though. The narrator who cuts in between each chapter did a fine job and I actually enjoy getting further along just so that I can hear the tale told through her descriptions.
