Overview:
Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance is an action-adventure game for the Playstation®2.
It uses the amazing hardware available with the PlayStation 2 to bring
the Dungeons & Dragons rule system to life in a game of action and intrigue.
Set in the Forgotten Realms, the most popular of all D&D worlds, BG
Dark Alliance blends action, adventure, and compelling story with incredible
graphics and gameplay into a wild medieval foray.
But Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance is an action game as well a role-playing
game. That means that as you advance through the game, you not only
navigate past opponents, but also through an intriguing story. With
each victory you gain power - hopefully enough power to overcome the
next obstacle. You also get the opportunity to guide your character's
fate by determining what skills and powers they will gain each time
they reach a new level of achievment.
Features
- A completely original adventure created exclusively for the Playstation®2
computer entertainment system.
- Featuring single or two-player cooperative play. You can play the
game as a solo adventure or you can team up with a friend. The two-player
version of the game is identical to the single player version except
that you'll get to beat it with your friend. You'll even be able to
save your character off on a memory card and bring it into a friend's
game.
- Unlike a lot of PC games, every character in BG: Dark Alliance will
talk to you. Plus, the guys up at Snowblind are working on getting
all of those lines lip synched - so the people in the game will actually
look like they are talking.
- Play 3 character types, each with unique powers, appearance and
abilities.
- The first console game ever to use the 3rd Edition Dungeons & Dragons
rule set.
- Explosive spell effects and amazingly detailed environments never-before-seen
in any console game
- BG Dark Alliance will be shipping on a DVD format. It is simply
too large to fit on a CD.
