As a role-playing game, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II successfully blends elements of PC- and console-style gameplay with elements of real-time combat, quest-based structure, and character customization. As a sequel, Dark Alliance II offers little enhancement over the original, marked only by the addition of weapon customization with the workshop. With its lengthy journey across the Forgotten Realm enabling cooperative play, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II provides ample gameplay that focuses more on play than on cinematics. While the Xbox version is nearly identical to the Playstation 2, it does offer shorter loading times during play. Even though it doesn't offer much improvement over the original in terms of gameplay and presentation, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II stands as a solid role-playing game both sides of the gate can appreciate.
