    If you really really want it, wait until it becomes cheaper. No matter what kind of games you like, PoR does not seem to be worth the price. If you do not believe me, do a search for PoR reviews in the news database and read all about this CRPG fiascho.

    I have finished the game once and I thought it rated an Average. The game doesn't have the detailed story / background that BG games did - but it didn't pretend to. A pretty good dungeon crawl, brought down by slow combat time and crashes to Windows

    It's worth it if you are out of other RPGs to play.I've played all the Baldurs Gate games about 6 times through so i needed.....anything.I was hopeing this game would match up to BG2 but it doesn't.It seems like they took hack and slash from IWD gave it incredably huge dungons a few glitches and a little story line and sold it.I say this yet I still waste many hours away playing it.....after you get out of the dungons i hear it picks up the pace!and thx god for the speed patch thingy....
