Advantages: Easier to run than bg 2

Disadvantages: Too many dirty jokes forsome of the younger balck ilse fans

Planescape needless to say is different from any other rpg. The humour is no way for some younger bg fans and is more in line with the stylings with fallout but then this is a black isle game as opposed to a bioware game. The first thing to notice is that everything is much bigger and frankly if you play this then go back to bg you'll wonder why you were ever satisfied with the scrawny bg figures. The spells are better than even baldur's gate two and it is certainly harder to play. The concept is more interesting and as it contains millions of lines of dialogue the plot is more than fully-formed.
The drawbacks are in the form of mainly of the fmv used for some of the higher order spells, the ease with which if youare a veteran of bg that you can defeat the game and the fact that you can run and no other characters can.
Quick tip by the way unlike in the dale and baldurs gate only one member of the party needs to cross to the edge of the zone for them all to leave and this makes escaping bad guys much easier.
This game is original and refereshing but beware it will eat into your time like no other i once went two whole days without sleep playing it.
