Gameraiders (95/100)

Black Isle has had plenty of experience creating fun RPG experiences for gamers and Icewind Dale II is no different. This game has the blood; sweat and tears of the development team and when you play it you can see the hours they put in developing a game that is worthwhile. If you play the game you will find an immensely engaging role-playing game that will keep you busy for countless hours with its gigantic single-player campaign plus the game has a huge multiplayer component that you have to play. So don’t just sit there reading this review, get out there and get this game.

RPG Codex (no score given)

The resolution of this review is a balanced one; it's not for you if you prefer turn-based games, but if you enjoyed the Baldur's Gate series and the original game, you'll probably love Icewind Dale II, and if you're looking for a game set in a fantasy background with a nice storyline, you'll definitely prefer this over the rather lacklustre Neverwinter Nights. Be warned, however, Planescape: Torment fans, this isn't the sequel to Torment that you were hoping for... it isn't Fallout, either, but you already knew that. However, as much as I enjoy the setting of the Forgotten Realms, I do feel that it is a tired setting. It would be nice to see a game set in an original setting of Black Isle Studios' own creation in the future.
