    What really drags this game down is the fact that it uses, reuses, and re-reuses the maps – sending you back through the same dungeons over and over again to collect this key or open that new passage.

    It would be nice to see the developers expand on this and either make an original action/RPG for the GBA or bring over "BG: DA II." [Summer 2004, p.35]

    The up-close character portraits and overwrought voice acting is gone, but everything else is there -- the mazelike caverns, the glorious level-raising, the seemingly endless array of equipment.

    I did not play all of it, but I did play enough to find AI flaws, get bored, and generally not like it at all.

Graphiquement soigné, le jeu est vraiment prenant même si passer la licence en mode Hack’n’slash était un pari osé et que c’est un peu déroutant au début. Au final le plaisir est bien présent. Un must a avoir sur GBA d’autant plus que le genre ce fait rare sur celle-ci. Les fans purs et durs de Baldur’s Gate seront sûrement déçu par ce titre tant le game play diffère mais il ravira ceux qui aime les rpg action et hack’n’slash.… Full Review »
