Tags: Icewind Dale 2Armchair Empire has reviewed the icy dungeon crawler, Icewind Dale 2. It's about nine paragraphs long, and ends with a 7/10, without really saying anything at all. Here's the most informative paragraph:
Presentation suffers from an outdated game engine but remains impressive on some levels. Tiny character models and jerky animations are balanced by the astounding artwork on the character portraits. The 2D backgrounds are superbly drawn, capturing the stark beauty of the region ? you can almost feel the cold. The soundtrack is similarly impressive with the haunting melodies of the Fell Wood a stand out. Which, along with the strong narrative, saves the game from being mere rehash.
They're called, sprites, kid.
