This came in excellent condition and works great. I absolutely love this game. Retro ish game but it’s so fun. If you liked the old Diablo this is up your alley. I use it in my WII with some GameCube controllers I bought. I’ve played it for hours already. I like the GameCube games on the WII because I don’t have to mess with motion plus, nunchucks and all the attachment stuff.

Baldur's Gate on the Wii

Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2010

Verified Purchase

I never played this on any console and was looking for a Diablo style game for the Wii. I was finally able to play this game on the Wii, but I had to purchase classic controllers first and a GameCube memory card. This was easy for me as we have a really good used game store in town where I was able to get that stuff.

The game overall is a blast, I play it with my 9 year old son and my 11 year old daughter. If you are looking to play a Diablo style game on your Wii this one will do the job - especially with coop play. Just remember, you need the GameCube controllers and a GameCube memory card.

Baldur's Gate Coulda Been a Contender...

Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2006

Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance is basically a version of Diablo with a Dungeon & Dragons makeover. While it implements only a small subset of the D&D rules, there are many game elements -- feats, creatures, weapons, attribute buy-up, etc -- that would be very familiar to someone familiar with the D&D rules. All of those rules are implemented in a 3rd-person-from-above-perspective, graphical interface which Diablo seemed to invent, but which is often copied in RPG style games. In my opinion, this is not a negative -- that interface formula has proven to work well for this style of game, and there's no reason to invent an inferior wheel to avoid being labeled a Diablo clone.

Here are the positives of this game:
- Unlike most RPGs that claim to be multiplayer, this game actually allows a second player to participate in the adventure in the main game mode to the same degree as the first player. Usually, "multiplayer" turns out to be some limited, deathmatch mode thrown into the game as an afterthought.
- The water and shadow graphic effects are outstanding. Clearly, the developers thought this as well since you need to wade through water in half the scenes. The way the water ripples, and how the waves propagate and reflect is really quite a nice piece of eye candy.
- You can 'import' a character into the game you're playing, even if it was saved while playing another mission. This ability to develop and then keep your character for other adventures is a great feature. If only there were other, harder editions of Baldur's Gate to reuse my characters, I'd call this the crowning achievement of the game.

But here are the game's negatives:
- The game is very short. At 'normal' difficulty, I'd estimate I only had 10 hours of play time into the game when I suddenly found that I'd defeated the entire game. And that was at a conservative pace... less patient players might finish the entire game in a single sitting.
- There is not much variety in the three character types. Even though you may choose to be a warrior, an archer, or a mage, towards the end, all three are best served by using the very powerful melee weapons that become available along the way. The mage, in particular, does not receive comparable upgrades, and the bows also fell short of their melee counterparts. Baldur's Gate should have implemented D&D-like character creation to create better differentiation between characters. Seems like it would have been easy to do.
- The box sets an expectation that D&D rules are implemented, but they are very loosely and inconsistently applied. There are certainly recognizable D&D elements, but I suspect that hard core D&D fans will be disappointed. It would have been nice if the various creature types had been identified by a label (even though I think I know what most of them were).
- The replies to computer characters ("NPCs") don't seem to affect the story progression in any way. There is really only a single story line to follow, and either you find all the requested items, or you don't. Whether you find everything or not, you can still finish the game. It seems to me that one of the basic premises of D&D is that there can be consequences to your actions, but that is not the case here.

Nevertheless, my son and I had a lot of fun playing this game up until its premature, abrupt end. Had some of the basic negatives been fixed, and if the storyline had been expanded to make the game last for a month of play, this could have been one of the all-time best Gamecube titles. It leaves me wondering which is the bigger crime: 1) the total absence of greatness; or 2) wasted, unfulfilled potential? In the case of #1, I just feel like I wasted some money. In the case of #2 and Baldur's Gate, I think I feel even more disappointed than a mere dent in my wallet. Sigh... Baldur's Gate, you coulda been a contender, but in the end, you turned out to be a bum.

Not too good...

Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2006

If you like wimpy over-head view games you'll like this one. The characters are so small they are almost undistinguishable from each other. The worlds are hard to find your way through. Unless you have a walkthrough it would be nearly impossible to find your way through this game. And even then it's still almost impossible not to get lost. I quit after only a few sessions. Because the fun level is almost zero. You can play with a friend. And then both of you can get lost and not have fun.

A solid RPG

I just digged into this game, and I must say, theres alot to be had about it. Mix D&D, TES and old school Runescape (you know, when it was good), and you have Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance. As you level, you start from your base class and it you beoome more specified, say, and Archer will become an Arcane Archer by level 2. I highly recommend getting a used copy of this game if youre an RPG bro like me. Totally worth it.
