Baldur's Gate EE has kept everything that was great about the original and improved it in every way, new characters, spells and locations and no bugs (that I’ve found anyway). I think the control system translates to touch screen really well too. If you were a fan of the original Baldur’s Gate or anything D&D then I highly recommend!… Expand

   Thank you, Beamdog, for bringing the sexy classics back!

   BGEE has been out for more than 2 years already and during this time I've spent next to 500 hours in this game.
   
   Not only BGEE does provide the most fluent experience of BG1 for me, it also gives the most detailed UI with all the information I need about my characters' attacks, THACO and damage, provides the Quick loot bar, lets me use unique and interesting kits such as the Shadowdancer and the Blackguard.
   
   BGEE looks wonderful on my big monitor and from time to time I change the level of zoom for more control of the battle.
   
   I approve the new NPCs: they have their own unmatched personality and good voice-acting. Dorn has become an essential part of any evil group of mine. I like his style and the abilities he brings. Mark Meer's work on voice-acting of Rasaad and Baeloth should be awarded. Neera brings the chance to finally see wild surges with flying cows and summoning demons right in the centre of a peaceful tavern.
   
   Beamdog has been constantly improving the game after its launch and has been trying to fix even the slightest inconsistencies players report. I appreciate the level of communication between the players and the developers. On a daily basis we can speak with CamDawg, Phillip Daigle and other developers on our feature requests and different bug reports via the forum.
   
   The multiplayer mode runs fine and has let me and my wife complete BGEE together in what will be remembered as the funniest playthrough for us ever.
   
   If you ask me, what does BGEE lack, I would answer that an expansion or a DLC would really finish the job. I've read Beamdog has been working on this, so I predict my wish would be fulfilled.
   
   I could install the SCS mod, the BG2 Tweaks and the BG 1 NPC Project on BGEE so I never ever wished to return to the vanilla version of the game.
   
   I can advice anyone who's thinking about acquiring BG1 game to choose BGEE.… Expand

   A terrific rendition of a seminal RPG. Beamdog deserve an almighty thank you for raising the bar even higher on what can be achieved onA terrific rendition of a seminal RPG. Beamdog deserve an almighty thank you for raising the bar even higher on what can be achieved on today's IOS. Using the index finger may not the perfect interface but its pretty damn close much better than I expected - and I'm real fussy. I have the PC ver too but choose to play exclusively on my IPad. Its just better. The game is as brilliant and re-playable as it ever was and its barely crashed in over 8 hours of play. The save system is subtle and intuitive and the graphics and sound are exactly as they should be. There's weeks of play in here for like 7 quid. Wow. What more could you ask for? Amazing stuff. Just buy it and roll on BG II & Planescape Torment… Expand

   I've seen a lot of complaints about the controls, and although there are minor snags, I'm not unhappy with the state of the touch controlsI've seen a lot of complaints about the controls, and although there are minor snags, I'm not unhappy with the state of the touch controls as-is. This is mostly due to the "peek" button that they've added, that serves to highlight all interact-able objects in the room. I do wish I could zoom in further to help with picking up small items (a single ring on the ground is pretty tough to "click" on currently), but it's not impossible or game breaking. Also, I'd go so far as to say the IGN review made it apparent that the reviewer either hadn't played through the entire game as he said, or somehow missed the "peek" button that was staring him in the face for 100 hours. All in all, I'm excited to play through the game again. The iPad adaptation is ABSOLUTELY worth the $10 price tag.… Expand

There were so many interesting creatures and the organic party building system. But it slowly just became an abrasive grind. You think you save a lot in Skyrim? Prepare to save even more! The number of times you will run across an overwhelming group that kills you is ridiculous. I thought it was a bit of a fun challenge at first, but after leveling up quite a bit it didn't stop. The dungeons are way too long and have many insta-kill traps, and looking back I can't believe I was able to force myself to play through as many chapters of this game as I did, and I'm not proud of it. This game is absolutely archaic, and should only be praised in the "for it's time" sense.… Expand
