What some jerk reviewed BG2 like:

[SpiritWarrior]

People people...all you have to do is pay attention to this guys writing style and it won't take long to figure out that he is in fact, a SLOW, SLOW person.

He said it took them like 87 minutes to figure out how to chat in MPer - I mean that says it all. This bloke must be one of those avid 'Snakes & Ladders' Rpers we keep hearing about.
The majority of people figure out how MP games of BG2 work by themselves and in minutes - for special people it takes nearly and hour and a half (and imagine if his friend wasn't there to help!).

I will say that it did in fact give me a mild laugh, reading about his brush with a game that required some mental effort went terribly wrong. Oh what a shame - Nice one mate !

[Ghostalker]

heh heh his site guestbook is a big mess.

[Angelousss]

What i want to know is during the 87 min, he never thought to check the manual

Some moron makes a feeble attempt at escaping from Irenicus' dungeon, fails, and writes a scathing review as a result of his own frustrations in not being able to get anywhere. Sounds a bit sad to me.

[Dar'tanian]

This gyhas done it. NOt ony did he dis BG bt he dissed IW, Hes gotta go and get a life. Bg is the bst game in the world nd always will be and we know hes an idiot if if cant figure out how to start the game?

I think this could be the answer:

So if you're here for genuine information, get the **** out. If you're ready to reduce your mental capacity and cause severe problems to your brain, by all means stay.

BUMP!

Check this out! This is THE stupidest BG2 revue i've ever seen!

[SixOfSpades]

You know what we should do? Email him a bunch of screenshots, illustrating just how easy it is to handle Jon's dungeon. And solve quests. And cast spells. And kill dragons. Oh yeah.

This review, however, ISN'T the worst/funniest out there.....Sazerac posted a link to one that was even BETTER a couple of days ago--funny, now that I peruse the recent threads of both the BG2 and ToB forums, I don't see it. Anyone remember what it was called?

[True_Moose]

SixofSpades, here is the link

There's the original post, and about 1/2 way down the page is Saz's find.

[SixOfSpades]

Ahhhh, yes. Thank you, True_Moose.

Here's one quote from the review that Dundee saw fit to repeat here:

"Magic, unfortunately, is virtually worthless with the exception of Healing, Party Enchancers (Bless, Haste, etc.) and Summoning. If you dream of being a wizard slinging lightning bolts and casting powerful spells of destruction, forget it. Most anything besides the weaker creatures (humanoids of lower levels mostly) are 95% resistant to magic. They also will make their saving thows (random chances to avoid damage or effects like spells and poison) the vast majority of the time. Note that both the resistance and saving thows are reversed for your party."

(Emphasis added by yours truly)

Pardon me while I laugh up my sleeve......or something.
