Baldur's Gate reviews and comments

I do not know if the youngest audience will be able to enjoy this classic role-playing game, and the video game all short. On the other hand, for who played there, at the end of the years 90, it is simply the best expense you can make of the year. The game has not lost its beauty, it remains playable on iPhone 4 (even if you peel your eyes on the dialogues), the mix tactical/action is always as good, and the music always as exotic. The Portage seems stable (no crashes in ten hours), and the texts are in French. Only downside: the voices in English (nostalgia would have made me prefer the French voices). Finally, with the latest update, it is possible to export its character to Baldur's Gate 2, if the latter is installed. Unbeatable value for money.

Captive (1990), Test Drive: Off-Road 3, Bang! Gunship Elite (2000), Ski or Die, Paws and Claws: Pet Vet (2006)
