Product description
Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance Xbox
Amazon.com
The Baldur's Gate series redefined and reinvigorated the PC role-playing scene, and now Interplay brings it to the Xbox. Don't be fooled, however, this isn't a traditional role-playing game, but rather a fun, wall-to-wall action hack 'n' slash adventure in the mold carved by Gauntlet and Diablo--one that nonetheless conforms to the Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition rule set.
Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance casts you as one of three basic characters: an elf sorceress, a human archer, or a dwarf fighter. From there, you're set free inside a huge Dungeons & Dragons world replete with dungeons, forests, and ice caves. Naturally, it's all filled to the brim with horrible monsters, wicked traps, treasures, and fabled magical weapons. As you go, you're constantly rewarded with new weaponry, new monsters to fight, and experience points you can put into your character stats to grow even more powerful. You can swap equipment in an inventory "paper doll" screen. Those changes are reflected in your onscreen character, so you'll start with simple weapons and a drab appearance, and you'll end up a big, mean superhero at the conclusion.
The graphics are simply wonderful, and the controls are accurate, responsive, and fun to use--which is necessary for the constant hacking and slashing required. The game is all the more fun when you recruit a buddy and play in cooperative mode. --Bob Andrews
Pros:
- Fast, furious fun with great graphics
- It's even more fun with a friend!
Con:
- Might disappoint PC Baldur's Gate fans looking for something deeper

Like the other day with seller Flip22, a package I received today from DJS Wholesalers, yhe package arrived, but the product I purchased, wasn't even in the package.
Apparently, the online-shopping scam that has been plaguing eBay, other online-shopping sites that use bidding for purchases, has now unfortunately, found its way onto Amazon. The scam is 3rd Party Sellers, fakimg that they have classic disc video games, ranging from the last 2 - 5 generations of video games.
What I received in my package, was just a small black bubble-package, with "supposed instructions, in order to get a supossed refund from the seller or, wait 30 or more business days, for a supposed product replacement." DJS Wholesalers, like Flip22, claimed in the piece of paper they sent me in a small black bubble-package, claimed that their "supposed warehouse that supposedly houses all of their supposed products, got damaged & or, vandalized. I absolutely do not, believe them in the slightest. The reasons being, because like seller Flip22, DJS Wholesalers not only allowed the pur hase of the product to go through, they also took my money without, notifying me by calling me, texring me, or emailing me, about the "supposed damage & or, supposed vandalism of their supposed warehouse."
They should've notified me, as well as stopped the purchase from even going through. Then there is their "suppossed methods of their own suppossed way of issuing a refund/product replacement. They actually tried blowing smoke up the wrong person's rear, just like seller Flip22 tried to do. & like them, DJS Wholesalers actually falsely/wrongly convinced themselves of a laughable delussion, that I'd be stupid enough to actually believe that they'd compensate me -- what bs. Which is why, like with Flip22, I contacted Amazon Customer Service instead, of going through endless hoolo-hoops, which the end results of that being, me not getting compensated, & DJS Wholesalers laughing at me from afar. & I aure am glad & appreciative of Amazon's quickness in handlinc the issue with Flip22 &, DJS Wholesalers. Again, watch out for seller's Flip22, & DJS Wholesalers.
