Absolutely. Without question, if you have any intrest at all in Black Isle's style of doing RPGs. The first BG is good, but BG2 is a much better game... more focused, longer, much better story... it's improved in just about every way and you can tell that the team was getting better at RPGs. We've owned BG2 since its release in '00 or '01 but I didn't play it for years... intimidated by its length, I guess. But I finally did and played it for about 75 hours in two weeks to finish it... :D I hadn't been that addicted with a game in a few years at least.
I now have four of the five Infinity engine games -- BG1(with expansion), BG2(with expansion), Planescape: Torment, and my most recent acquisition, Icewind Dale II. The two Icewind Dales are essentially dungeon crawls... story lite, action heavy. BG is in the middle. Torment is on the other end, with a extremely good story, a lot of text to read, and with not a whole lot of combat. It's my favorite of the five, too, but BG2 is in second. :)
... on that note, I probably should finish Throne of Bhaal (the BG2 expansion)... great game...
Baldur's Gate and BGII are relatively common for games that came out a few years back, I'd say... check places with used games. Icewind Dale is still available in places as the Icewind Dale Collection, with both games and the IWDI expansion. Torment is harder to find, though... I don't know if I've seen a copy for sale in years now... Online, I guess.
