Item Description

For years, Dungeons & Dragons on consoles meant compromise. Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance changed that by throwing out the PC series' pause-and-plan party tactics in favor of fast, direct, Diablo-style action, and it looked spectacular doing it. Snowblind Studios built the game around a single hero, a screen full of monsters and a steady rain of loot, and the GameCube version gave Nintendo's console its first D&D game.

Three heroes are on offer: Vahn, a human arcane archer; Kromlech, a dwarven fighter who solves most problems at arm's length; and Adrianna, an elven sorceress who trades armor for firepower. The rules underneath come from D&D's Third Edition, so each level brings choices about which abilities to grow, and the three play very differently. Combat goes beyond button-mashing, with blocking and jumping alongside sword swings, arrows and spells, and a second player can join for local co-op, which turns the whole campaign into a couch-side dungeon crawl.

The story starts small, the way the best D&D campaigns do. Your hero is mugged on arrival in Baldur's Gate and ends up taking odd jobs, starting with clearing rats out of the Elfsong Tavern's cellar, before the trail leads into the city's underworld and well beyond it. The adventure spans three acts, from Baldur's Gate itself to the Sunset Mountains and the Marsh of Chelimber, and builds toward Eldrith the Betrayer, a celebrated general who once defended the city and came to see it as her own.

Snowblind's engine was the talk of 2001, especially its water, which ripples and splashes around your hero's feet, and the studio went on to reuse that technology for Champions of Norrath. The sequel, Dark Alliance II, never made it to the GameCube, so this is the only chapter of the series built for Nintendo's purple box. It is a great pick for a two-player night of hacking through the Forgotten Realms.
