 Fun but had glitches, 2007-01-27
Really good RPG but it seemed to have a few frustrating glitches that were not addressed with the most current patches. The game would occassionally lock my characters in place and not allow them to travel anywhere. They could melee if bad guys were next to them, and they could cast spells and use ranged weapons as well. It got a bit hairy once in a while and made for some challenging fights. To resolve, I would have to get out of the game completely and restart the session. No reboot required.
I don't know if the game would do this on older Macs - I ran it on a new iMac dual core machine.
I did enjoy the game and have now moved on to Neverwinter Nights.

A very good RPG, 2004-09-03
Now no offense to all you Baulders Gate 2 Freaks but i liked Icewind Dale better that baulders gate 2. In ID I like the plot better and the game requires less patience. I like the enemys in ID. The only really big downside is that you cant party up with NPCs you create your own party. At first i thought that was a great idea but when i played the game is really wasn't. i missed going into taverns and finding a guy to join my party. It gave you a sense of interaction with the game. Anyway if you like D&D games pick this one up. 4 stars.
This is a Sweet RPG, 2004-08-17
This game is a must have for any Mac Gamer. In my opinion better than Baulders Gate one and two and better than Dungeon Siege (not quite as good as Diablo 2). This game has a rich story, good gameplay and pretty good graphic compared to other games at its time. The only downside is poor pathfinding and NPCs don't Join your party. (also im not under 13 as it says it is i just don't have a credit card so i couldnt right a real review)
 Would have been good... if I hadn't already played BG & BG2, 2003-08-29
Icewind Dale is a late, late comer to the Mac. If you absolutely need a novel BG/BG2 type fix, okay but as a game it takes a step back from BG2.

Not so good, 2002-12-11
My problem is I played this AFTER I played BG2. BG2 is much better in graphics quality, side quests etc. At first I thought it would be better to create your own party (IWD) as opposed to meeting up with people and asking them to join, (BG2) but the interactions you get with NPCs well make up for that. If you can only have one or the other go with BG2. If you want both, I suggest you play IWD first, then move on to BG2.
