The PS2 product is a simple action game, very unlike BG2, and really uses the BG signature as a means of boosting sales. (Ah, the joys of merchandising.) ToB, on the other hand, is a very worthwile add-on. True, it's quite linear, but it adds some very big battles, ups the experience and levels of your party members (50th level!), adds tons of new spells and special skills (thieves can now use any item), new monsters, a new, fun class (the wild mage), and a new party NPC who is quite a surprise, and a very welcome addition. There are also encounters tied to your past that really raise the level of drama. All in all, a fine pendant to an excellent game, IMO. [img]smile.gif[/img]
