This is still widely considered an A+ game as a unique, creative, thoughtful, story-driven open rpg. This is not a battle-driven game like baldur's gate, but there is melee and magic... But the dialogue is great, good characters, the story is deep, it will make you laugh and think and feel sad... It is a grim but extremely creative world. Lot of detail. Interesting complex world (competing factions, moral choices, different planes of existence, towns, etc.) Very immersive game. Read the gaming reviews, besides the user reviews here. AND know there is a great set of mods by the programming fan community to make this modern resolutions scaled for current screens. Also fixes a number of bugs & adds other options. Just Google "planescape torment mods". Thunderpeel2001's page explains it best. Oh yeah, this is an isometric (top down) RPG... But the view is somewhat closer to the ground and angled a bit so the details and characters are easier to see than in most isometric rpg's.
