EE is just that, enhanced...not just the graphics! Little things that would be a 'distraction' when playing the original have been updated for the better, making this Legend of a game...even Better!!
For those (showing my age here) that did not have a chance to play this when it first came out, Now is your chance to experience the epic saga! Masterful in it's original state, now it's even better!
Would highly recommend this game to anyone, even those that don't typically play RPGs!!
Still On the fence?
This has an epic story, epic game play, and now the enhanced graphics are just a pure joy of a bonus!
Comes with Every DLC/Expantion so even when you are done....you are still not done! :)

I played Baldur's Gate on PC when it was first out and really enjoyed it then. Turns out, I still enjoy it. The graphics are very 1988, but the story is immersive and fulfilling. I imagine that I've invested about 75 hours in it and I haven't even finished the first game yet... I still have BGII still to go!
It's not gonna knock your socks off if you want eye candy, but if you want a good D&D based game, I highly recommend.

These two games, particularly Baldur's Gate I got me through some real rough times when my dad died of cancer. It's one of my favorite RPGs, whether it's the mythology, gameplay, storytelling, or choices you make, it pulls you into another world.
Black Isle Studios made a fair amount of awesome RPGs and BG is where it started for me. I first played it right around when I graduated, and I was pulled back into the universe when my dad passed. The enhanced graphics are okay, some games have done much more to make their games look more modern, but I don't care. I just love that I can kick back and turn the console and play this game for years to come.

Great Game with many hours of entertainment if you enjoy turn based combat. My only complaint if I was pressed for one and the reason I didn't give it 5 stars are the graphics. The're grainy and not even close to the level of quality in current titles but since the game is a bundle of multiple titles that were originally released around the early 2000s, that was to be expected. All in all it still holds up very well providing a lot of bang for your buck and well worth the purchase.

These are two epic RPGs with great stories, characters and settings. Although the graphics are dated, overall they hold up very well for being 20 years old.

Good rerelease of classic RPGs. This is not very combat heavy. Very oldschool text heavy rpg.

Loved these games years ago- super excited to see them together and in an enhanced bundle. If your looking for flashy, this is not it. You will find classic game play and missions. Down side- it’s single player and not couch co-op like previous versions so don’t go in expecting that. Would be 5 star if it was.

I was so excited when I heard these games would be released on console. I played them on pc and as you know they are classics. I always wondered what it would be like to play them on a console and it turned out great. The controls are easy to learn. The only bad thing I have to say is the camera angles can be a bit annoying at times but overall it's not a big deal. Looking forward to the release of neverwinter nights on console.

BG is a classic RPG back from the beginnings. They did a pretty darn good job porting this over to console. Playing with a controller vs keyboard/mouse takes a little getting used to but I am enjoying it.

I love this game, its a little hard at first to figure out if you arent a die hard RPG gamer. I havent played a game like this in like forever! but its sooooo much fun and i love it, great addition/continuation to the Dungeons and dragons platform, as well as the Dark Alliance.

I had played this game for computer back when it came out but I am really excited that they redid the game for console. Slow gameplay so be prepared to grind and walk for a ton of hours.
