Depends on what you like in a CRPG. BG2 is certainly not like Diablo 2 (never tried any of the FF series, so I can't compare).
It is a huge game, and deeply involving. Lots of fighting, but it is certainly no hack n' slash. Lots of room to exercise your brain power here - the first problem you'll run into is "What class do I play?" lol.
It may be a bit hard at first if you're new to AD&D (like me). Rules are intricate. But hey you've found a pretty good forum to ask questions!!
Lots of shelf life on this one, notwithstanding the expansion (Throne of Bhall, or ToB for short).
I'd highly recommend this one - if you like RPGs you can't go wrong with this one.
