Neverwinter Nights Review

Digital Entertainment News has posted a review of Neverwinter Nights, giving the original title an overall score of 8.7/10. Check it out:

As pleasing as the official campaign may be, it is the expandability of Neverwinter Nights that is the game’s true strength. In the Aurora Toolset, gamers are given many of the same tools BioWare’s developers used in developing NN, except with lots of helpful wizard-based tools instead of a staff of 60 talented coworkers. Perhaps the most powerful toolset ever to be put in the hands of the gaming public, with some talent and not a small amount of time and dedication, one can actually construct anything from a mini-campaign that can be played online in the course of an hour or two with a group of friends or GameSpy-gamers, or if you’re obsessive-compulsive enough, you can even develop a long single-player scenario that can be added on to Neverwinter Nights almost as easily as any of Atari’s official (expansion packs.)
