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)

storyline with lots of twists and turns, varied and
interesting NPCs, exceptional replayability with different
types of characters, imaginative artwork, a user-friendly
interface, the opportunity to explore varied planes in the
multiverse, lots of quests and sub-quests, and much, much
more." - (rating - Game of the Year)

Intelligamer
"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!)

"This
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." -

GA RPG
"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
99%)

Daily Radar
"Planescape
Torment is easily the best RPG title to emerge since
Baldur's Gate, and its plot surpasses that of most adventure
titles." - (rating - a direct hit, their
highest)

"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 - 89%)

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." -
