    Another Throne of Bhaal review has shown up, this time at Gamespot AU. They score the expansion at 8 of 10, with generally high marks all around.

    Throne of Bhaal is of course based on the same foundations as the entire Baldur's Gate series - the Dungeons and Dragons world and system converted to a visually spectacular computerised version and a quality story line given life by talented artists. The pyrotechnics of high-level battle brings out the best in the Infinity Engine. Players and enemies alike have so many options combat is always varied and challenging. Strategically you may need to kill a certain foe in the first round of combat or duck for cover until your mages can breach magical defences. The most invaluable combat tactic I found was to save the game before you get into it.

    The result of all this is an enjoyable and powerful conclusion to the Baldur's Gate series. The challenges are difficult and new and the quests, especially with the addition of the Watcher's Keep dungeon, will keep you busier for longer than most expansion packs do. With only a few exceptions the game is of the same quality evident in the entire series.
