Neverwinter Nights Review

The latest review of Neverwinter Nights can be found over at EuroGamer. They’ve given the game an overall score of 7/10, with their reasons summed up in the following two paragraphs:

Out of the box, Neverwinter Nights is something of a mixed bag. The single player campaign is, if anything, too long, and focuses more on continuous combat than actual role-playing. The lack of any support for parties in the single player mode is also disappointing, and makes the game far less involving than it should be. Multiplayer is a more entertaining experience, but you may have to explore several servers before you find one that feels like home.

What really lifts the game above the crowd though is the mod support, which literally opens up a whole new world. Persistent online realms, linked servers, new quests, monsters and equipment are all possible, although the way the game handles these could have been better thought out. Already the internet is awash with add-ons, some of which are very good, and the future looks bright.
