Rendered in real-time polygons, Dark Alliance is constructed, painted, and animated with starling beauty. If Dark Alliance were an actress, she’d be Selma Hayek: wild, sexy, and curvaceous. Can Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance satisfy the die-toting fanatic with a Dual Shock 2, or entertain the already fickle console RPGfan? Let’s take her for a spin and see how she handles. Coupled with the marketing muscle of Interplay and the brand recognition of Dungeons & Dragons via Wizards of the Coast, Dark Alliance stood poised to revolutionize PC-style next generation action-RPG’s for the console generation. Not content to rest on the laurels of the now flagship Baldur’s Gate saga, Interplay chose newcomer Snowblind Studios to bring the series to the broader console audience.Īrmed with the database of D&D 3rd edition, a library of Forgotten Realms lore, and the PS2’s incredible architecture, Snowblind Studios has finally brought their vision of the Realms to light with Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance. All of the games in the series were startlingly successful, pleasing both die-hard PC gamers and dice-rollers alike.

After the phenomenal success of Baldur’s Gate, the expansion: Tales of the Sword Coast, and Baldur’s Gate 2: Shadows of Amn came forth to continue the legend. When Black Isle Studios, a former division of Interplay, decided to create a PC RPG set in the sprawling city of Baldur’s Gate, a legacy was born. The Dungeon & Dragons world of Faerûn, synonymous with The Forgotten Realms, has been the most popular campaign setting for tabletop games and fantasy novels. Throughout three evolutions, the pencil & paper juggernaut has spawned countless books, modules, figurines, PC games, even an animated series. The game has survived this onslaught of adversity to become a multi-million-dollar franchise as well as a vogue amongst gamers. Dungeons & Dragons, the analog forefather of role playing games, has suffered religious persecution, media misanthropy, and an overwhelming social stigma.
