Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II Review

1Up has posted a review of Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II, giving the action RPG an overall score of 7/10. Their conclusion to follow:
Really, though, who can complain when the core gameplay is just as fun as it was before? There's just something about raising hell and experience points in Dark Alliance II that makes it more addictive than any of the Dark Alliance clones out there. I think it's a mixture of things: the hard-but-not-impossible challenge level, the half-decent story, and the fact that any dungeon can be completed comfortably in one sitting. This, coupled with lovely backdrops and capable animation on all the characters, means that BGDA2 is nowhere near the disaster everyone expected. In fact, it's a decent sequel and it's worthy competition for the upcoming Champions of Norrath.
