In short, its an abomination. A terrible insult to the original Pool of Radiance with its buggy implementation of th e3rd ed rules. Thankfully I only bought it for around $15 and how I battled for days through it, trying to like it. However, its painfully repeptive uninspired music, insipid meaningless battle upon battles and general lack of interactivity and character meant it was doomed to failure. The graphics are probably its best virtue, but they don't make up for its other failures.
It was easy to get lost in the dungeons which isn't such a bad thing for me, but when they all look the same and barely have any memorable features...that's when it becomes tedious.
A shame to the world of CRPGS really, since the original game was such a classic.
Try playing Baldur's Gate again and have a bit more patience this time...it'll reward you.
