Goofball, Dark Alliance and Dark Alliance 2 are basically Baldur's Gate-like for the PS2. I've not played the BG games on the PC, but I doubt they are the same adventures ported to the PS2. The games do have your characters based in Baldur's Gate in the Forgotten Realms. I've played through DA2 and I will get and play through DA just so I can see the whole story. They are kind of a stripped down D&D, but like Diablo and similar games, you find yourself rushing through the game from one room to the next. A much too hurried pace for a true D&D game in my mind. Anyway, I did enjoy DA2 apart from a few bosses that were a pain in the butt.

Another similar game to the DA series is The Champions of Norrath. My daughter has almost completed the game and from what I saw it looked good. I'll give that game a shot too. The sequel, Champions: Return to Arms is due out in a few weeks or less.
