The experiment was apparently a success, because a year later Dark Alliance came out for the Xbox and Gamecube systems and Dark Alliance II went into production.
Dark Alliance originally came out on the Playstation 2 in 2001, likely as an experiment to see if the popular Baldur's Gate CRPG series could succeed in the world of console gaming.
But since we were planning on giving Dark Alliance II full coverage, we felt the original deserved the same. The game has been out for two years and has spawned two games based on its engine, both of which came out this month. OK, so I'm reviewing Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance a little late in the day.
