Also, you share money with your partner, which I absolutely hate.

It still costs money to put'em on the weapon but after 4 gems there isn't a point, other than free money up. Also, the combinations with the gems is cool like you get fire/ice, yellow fire when you have an earth and fire stone, but there's a point where you'll have a lot of gems and they serve no purpose because after you add 4 to your weapon, it does nothing. As a result, when your playing multiplayer, unless you can get your friend to sit still and not kill enemies, the Necromancer is generally 3 levels behind him/her. The Barbarian can just continue to deal damage and not have to recharge his/her MP. On top of that, the Necro relies a lot on MP. Why? Once he/she gets the dual-wielding great weapons ability (meaning wielding two two-handed weapons one in each hand) he'll be doing 4 times as much damage as your most powerful spell or attack. But before long, no matter what spells your jacking up, you want do as much damage as the Warrior/Barbarian class. The Necromancer is defintely cool looking having his spell book in one hand and his sword in the other. Gameplay: It's your typical hack-n-slash affair.

The graphics are also practically identical to the first, and in some regards I like the first one better, so you'd be better off with that or the Champs of Norrath series on PS2.

Defintely some balancing issues in regards to character classes, the gem system is flawed to say the least, defintely not the sequel I was looking for. Overall: After playing Baldur's Gate I on PS2, the ending was great and just had me knawing myself waiting for the opportunity to play the second.
