Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance is an action role-playing game developed by Snowblind Studios for the PlayStation 2 and later for the Xbox, Nintendo GameCube and Game Boy Advance, originally released in 2001. It began the Dark Alliance series of games. The battle system in the game is simplistic, but includes customizable aspects. The human archer, for example, can assign experience points to enchanting arrows
rather than to strength, which will result in more powerful arrows. Likewise, the Elven sorceress is capable of selecting between different spells. However, starting character statistics are preset and the player may only customize his or her character's statistics through gaining experience points.
There are also relatively few non-player characters: the only characters who may be spoken to are those who are part of a quest or sidequest. The Gameboy Advance version of Baldur's Gate featured some noticeable differences from the Console versions. Probably the most notable is the fact that there can only be one save at a time, although it can be saved anywhere. Players also can no longer import a character to play through the story again, so they must restart at level 1 every time. Missing from this port is the multiplayer mode.
Other differences include a lack of recall potions and the addition of the "Elf Fighter" class, which combines some middle to high level spells and abilities of the other 3 classes. The town of Baldur's Gate is also much more interactive, as players are now able to talk to people, enter houses and use weapons (to break barrels, etc.). There are new sidequests, too. The town has also been split into two sections: north and south. The southern portion cannot be entered at the beginning of the game.
