You will face a foe that views you as no more than chattel and that toys with you at every turn; a villain whose goals go beyond a quest for power and who threatens to use a lost companion as a tool for unparalleled destruction. The choices to be made will not be easy, and you may have to align with the lesser of evils, even though all evils cannot help but seem equal. In the end you will have mourned lost loves, celebrated new ones, and had adventures that profoundly shaped the Realms. Review It's not easy being a child of a god. Your character quickly comes to this conclusion after being imprisoned and tortured by a wizard with an unhealthy interest in your parentage. So begins Baldur's Gate 2: Shadow of Amn, an ambitious RPG based on the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons game. Shadow of Amn is not really a sequel to Baldur's Gate. Instead, Baldur's Gate was merely a prelude to Shadow of Amn. Shadow of Amn develops the plot lines, characters and events introduced in the first game into a mature, genuinely interesting fantasy tale. Players who thought the original game shallow will be pleasantly surprised by Shadow of Amn 's bold story arcs. Major events are afoot, and the character's choices have a real impact on the Forgotten Realms. In the same way, Baldur's Gate served as a proving ground for the refined game mechanics evident in Shadow of Amn. The game's artificial intelligence has been vastly improved, and the player has many more choices for NPC AI scripts and party communication. Keeping with Shadow of Amn 's more mature theme, the party interaction even goes so far as to include possible love interests for your character. Those who played through the original Baldur's Gate can import their character into Shadow of Amn, or can choose to create a new character. Character kits such as the Mageslayer and Swashbuckler add variety, and the game even includes the Monk, Sorcerer, Barbarian and Half-Orc options from the new Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition rules. Whether you import an old character or create a new one, you'll begin the game as a fairly advanced character--unlike most RPGs, you won't have to spend hours slaying puny critters and instead are plunged into a high-stakes plot against powerful foes. A strong plot backed by strong technology makes Shadow of Amn stand out as one of the best RPGs you'll ever play. Fans of the AD&D game will love the classic AD&D feel, and fans of the popular Forgotten Realms setting will delight in the people, places and politics found in Shadow of Amn. --Michael Fehlauer
