    Here's a review of Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter from Women Gamers. With a final score of 8.5, the game got higher marks than by some other reviewers. Read the final verdict:

    Overall Impression:

    The thing is, after having played BGII, which came out after IWD, the feeling that HoW is not worth the USD30 Interplay is asking for is somewhat magnified. Many fans will feel this way, I suspect. Does the "heart of fury" mode balance up the scales a little more? Maybe so, but only for those who want to take a break from their BGII marathon.

    Still, I feel that this doesn't mean that Interplay did a haphazard job. As EPs go, HoW is one that encompasses all the right factors to make IWD a more complete game. In that aspect, I think it's worth my 30 bucks.

    Marketing Efforts Towards Women:

    Well, the antagonist and a large portion of the premise is surprisingly relevant to our gender, not to mention the fact that your chief aide in the game is also a woman. I can't say more without giving away the story. Does the fact that they just did a beautiful portrait of a female halfling count?
