Game Spot Players Review
"If a good RPG game is defined by the story
it tells, the ability it gives you to interact with a
fantastic world, and a high level of interest to see these
elements truly realized, then Black Isle Studios'
Planescape: Torment is hands down a success." - (rating
- 9.3)

and interesting NPCs, exceptional replayability with
different types of characters, imaginative artwork, a
user-friendly interface, the opportunity to explore varied

"I'm pleased
to report that Planescape: Torment is an excellent game.
It combines a finely crafted story, great visuals and
sound, and enough action and magic to keep almost any role
playing gamer happy for many hours. It's the best single
player RPG to come out in 1999." - (rating - 4 1/2
stars and the Intelligent Choice Award!)

game is for the hardcore RPG player out there. It's got an
in-depth story, challenging combat, and enough harlots to
keep your perverted side pleased for a very, very long
time."

Game Pro World
"If
there's a dark side to AD&D, it's Planescape: Torment.
Black Isle Studios has taken the Baldur's Gate engine,
spiced it up and turned it into a dark, twisted, and
compelling search for identity and death in Sigil, the
City of Doors." - (overall rating - 4.9 out of

"System Shock 2
was definitely a great game, in fact I would consider to
be the best FPS of the year hands down. However it is not
the best CRPG game of the year, that accolade goes to the
guys at Black Isle Studios for their saving grace in a sea
of mediocrity, Planescape: Torment." (rating

Torment is easily the best RPG title to emerge since

adventure titles." - (rating - a direct hit, their

"Given the strong
background of the developers, does Planescape: Torment
live up to its pedigree? Yes, and in the process, may be
one of the best RPGs of 1999." - (Rating -

Thresh's Firing Squad
"The thought, effort and design that went
into Torment must have been tremendous. The game is a
stunning work of art, full of creativity and originality.
It is faithful to the rules of both AD&D and
Planescape yet bends them enough to make for a different
experience for hardcore veterans without ruining the game.
Everything from the storyline to the music is just …
right. Black Isle has definitely achieved that magical mix
that every developer tries for in every game." -
