We've been playing this game for over a week now and I am currently drinking coffee just to stay up and play it some more. If you are a RPG fan, I highly suggest you check this game out. I will say that Baulder's Gate does have a lot more options and a moreso complete game playing experience than this console version of the DND classic world.

Here is Your Basic Gameplay Insight:

You can play as any of four different resurrected heroes charged with defeating a shadow wizard whom they once defeated over a century earlier. The revived heroes battle through countless creatures while slowly regaining their powers. After regaining their powers they can once again face their arch enemy.

The heroes' journey is completely linear but takes them quite far, through some catacombs to the remnants of Castle Baele and then to the heart of a portal that leads to various elemental-themed stages.

The heroes themselves never speak (though you hear them grunting in battle) and have no real personality to them.

The heroes include a human fighter, a dwarven cleric, a halfling rogue, and an elven wizard. This game is based loosely on the 3rd Edition Dungeons & Dragons rules, these character classes each have unique skills and feats available to them, but they basically play similarly.

Each can block many types of enemy attacks, but they rarely need to because they can keep wailing away with their melee weapons to inflict significant, sustained damage.

Each character is self-sufficient and is perfectly capable of fighting his or her way through the game single-handedly.

From what I have seen, even the most elite Dungeons and Dragons storytellers and gamers will not be disappointed.
