To begin with, you'll find Recall potions in the game, which you can use to make a quick round trip to town to stock up on supplies or sell items to increase your cashflow.
These Recall potions are a godsend, especially when you're three levels down in the sewer with no easy way to get back to town. There are also plenty of save points in the game one in almost every other room , and you'll need to use them often to avoid replaying sections when you die and you will.
The interface is ingeniously designed to offer ease of use but also to let you have the ultimate control when you need it. Unlike the PC games, you cannot pause a battle to decide which characters will be attacking whom and with what.
Instead, it is non-stop action, so you'd better be prepared before you enter the fray. While the controls can seems a little daunting compared to a mouse, there is plenty of on-screen help to let you know which buttons you should be pushing to do things like pick up objects, save a game, or talk to an NPC. Dark Alliance was not meant to be a console port of Baldur's Gate. This is purely a console game, and it shines as such. There are many differences in the gameplay between this game and those of the PC series.
If youve got an Xbox? Hold your breath. So dont give this monster your cash unless your favorite part of the prequel or any Diablo-style dungeon hacker is building up your character. The lure of reaching that next experience level, earning a few new attacks, and donning niftier equipment was the only thing that kept me motivated and then just barely in this sequel.
Dungeons are mostly dull mazes that sprawl too far and seem big just for the sake of being big, and you get stuck with too many fetch-the-mythical-gizmo quests.
Face this monster of a game with a second player to increase your saving roll for fun. Dungeon hacks are one of the few genres that haven't changed much over the years.
Since the days of Gauntlet back in the 80's, dungeon hacks have always relied on this simple formula: hack your way through dungeons, plunder loot, level up, rinse and repeat.
Yet even with this utterly simplistic formula, dungeon hacks are still as entertaining as ever, as shown by Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance when it was released in It refined the dungeon hack genre for a new generation, with sharp visuals and addictive gameplay, but with that same foundation that made dungeon hacks so fun to begin with. Don't fret though, because the shoes fit nicely - they just might be a bit too snug for comfort.
Hacking and slashing is a lot of fun ' this has been established - but if you're looking for something new in Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II , then you might be disappointed because it mirrors its predecessor in almost every way.
The formula of hacking, plundering, and leveling is still in full effect here, but everything feels more refined this time around. Levels and dungeons feel a little more focused, though there is still plenty of exploring to do, and the fantasy experience flows along nicely.

However, it comes a year late with a bafflingly destroyed framerate, courtesy of the High Voltage. If can overlook that blunder and have not played it yet on another system, we highly recommend you consider investing in what is one of GameCube's best co-operative games to date.
Here we are a year later and Interplay has finally got around to bringing the refined hack-and-slash to GameCube, but does it have enough to make as big of an impact?
In terms of gameplay, yes it does -- almost. It's the exact same design and no corners have been cut in this regard.
