It seems that the town is plagued by some nasty evil.
You assume the role of a hapless adventurer who has headed to the bright lights of Baldur's Gate, a port city that's experiencing a rather foul run of luck.
The game's basic plot is as accessible as they get. If that sounds like some foreign language, fear not-the game's D&D ties aren't essential to getting into the story, they just add texture. Although our beta build is early and only contains the first three chapters of the game, it looks as though Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance is coming together quite well on the Xbox.įor those who missed out on the PlayStation 2 version, the game makes use of the Dungeons & Dragons Forgotten Realms campaign setting and the 3rd Edition D&D rules set. Following the critical and commercial success of the title, developers Snowblind Studios and Black Isle Studios, the RPG division of publisher Interplay, have opted to bring the game to the Xbox. The game's jaw-dropping graphics, which still rank as some of the best ever seen on the PS2, combined with its accessible gameplay, cooperative two-player mode, and character customization features, made it one of the standout titles of 2001. While the PC Baldur's Gate games were traditional RPGs, Dark Alliance offered a faster-paced dungeon crawl that was better suited to a console. Originally released for the PlayStation 2 last year, the game offered a marked change of pace for the Baldur's Gate series. We got hold of a build of Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance for the Xbox and have been putting it through its paces. The character models in the game are impressive.
