Baldurs gate 1/2.. anything similar

HarryPainful · 1 Jun 2008 at 17:47

Had these on the xbox and loved them, are there any other games in a similar fashion?

Hopefully that will run on the 360.

BD2 does but I have finished that and will never play through the Air level again!! :mad:

Champions of Norrath on ps2.. but obviously aint as good or will not play on 360 ;p

There's a live arcade game that's kind of in the same vein but done on a cheaper scale, Arkadian Warriors. You've got the same caster/archer/warrior archetypes and go from there. Pretty good fun

HarryPainful · 1 Jun 2008 at 17:57

Arkadian Warriors, hmm I'll check that out now...

Anyone know of similar games on the xbox 1?

Bhoya · 1 Jun 2008 at 18:02

Actually I suppose you could say that the Marvel game which came out pretty soon after the 360 is the same sort of game character development wise.

For the xbox I can only think of Dungeons & Dragons Heroes although I never played it. I really liked the Baldur's Gate and Champions of Norrath games and that was going to be the next one I tried but just didn't get round to it.

I actually have D&D Heroes, not played it on the 360 yet though as it wont work over VGA.

That Arkadian Warriors is a bit too arcadey!!

Its awful and completely failed to fulfill my hack n slash craving

. We need a proper Norath/BG clone on 360 with online co-op it would be awesome.

isnt Gaunlet on Xbox another one for the collection.

Champions of Norath.
Champions : Return to Arms
Fallout : Brotherhood of Steel

*edit* Oops didnt read XBox requirement, although i think Fallout was available on XBox.

RuMp3l4$k1n · 1 Jun 2008 at 18:30

Fallout was always one I wanted to try out but never got around to even when it was less than a tenner. Gauntlets just hit the xbox originals service but when I looked up some reviews they were less than favorable so I passed on it.

Bhoya · 1 Jun 2008 at 19:29

I was pretty disappointed by Fallout, it just didn't have any of the charm of the BG or Champions of Norrath games. Tempted to bring out the PS2 to give it another try though.

Gauntlet (on the PS2) was awful, I'd definitely recommend giving it a miss. It's like they tried to copy the concept but forgot to add any fun or challenge to the game.

Hold on, BG on the Xbox is the 'Dark Alliance' story isn't it? In which case fie! Fie on you! Go and buy the proper grown up Baldur's Gate for PC!

HarryPainful · 2 Jun 2008 at 00:50

Yes it is, and we are in the console section, NOT the pc.

i dont like that one it sucks :/

the console one is pretty good though, only when you're playing co-op though

spirity · 2 Jun 2008 at 01:53

Could try marvel ultimate alliance, it's in a similar vein.

Blizzard need to make another hack and slash. :mad:

Actually I am surprised Blizzard have not entered the console area.. they are perfect for a Diablo style game.

See Diablo 3, I'm sure it'll be multiplatform. Its not that they haven't entered the console arena, they just don't release games very frequently. And existing games like WOW and future games like Starcraft 2 would require significant changes to work on consoles, if at all.

Yea, I wish there was a good rpg like baldurs on 360. You could try Viking, thats quite good. Very nice hack'n'slash with plenty of enemies onscreen
