Reviews

"The writing of Baldur's Gate has always been one of its strongest aspects. The story remains unchanged and still holds up."
8.5/10 - Destructoid

"Hammers out a multitude of bugs found in the original release, as well as introduces brand new characters, storylines, and modes to play through.
8.5/10 - Inside Gaming Daily

"Enhanced Edition has received a number of visual upgrades including support for high resolutions that provide a far more panoramic view of the game's lovely, lush backgrounds, and a mousewheel-controlled zoom function for quickly shifting to a more down-and-dirty view of the battlefield."
The Escapist
