AroundCinci (8.9/10)

Although the gaming aspects of the Infinity engine have stood up to the test of time, one place where its age is evident is in the graphics department. The first 10 minutes of the game had me completely convinced that it was Baldur's Gate all over again. They look exactly the same, from the spells to the characters. The similarity is only be skin deep, but it's a tragedy to take such great game play and package it with graphics that, while amazing 4 years ago, cannot hold a flame to such games as Neverwinter Nights and Morrowind.

Game Chronicles (8.6/10)

Hopefully we will see a trilogy in this series and the next version will actually have a new engine that can give us a greater visual experience. I also hope that the developers spend a bit more time on the pathfinding AI so that I don’t have to continually watch my party and manually guide them through some of the tougher areas. For those of you that enjoy a good RPG, head to your nearest software store to pick up Icewind Dale II!
