The latest review of Neverwinter Nights has been published at Gamespot UK. Did they like it? Yes: their rating is 9.0/10. Here's the conclusion they offer:
Overall, Neverwinter Nights is a compelling game. It's highly polished, but more importantly, very enjoyable. If I have any quibbles, they are rather minor. At around 60 hours, it is much smaller than the Baldur's Gate games, and although some may welcome this, I personally enjoy games that keep me busy for a long time and always feel disappointed to have finished them (which probably explains why I played Baldur's Gate II through seven times!) I also miss the party-system and the interaction you had with your NPC comrades. Sure, henchman will converse with you, but not to the extent that your party members did in Baldur's Gate II. Still, that's not much to complain about, all things considered. Neverwinter Nights is a great game, and one that will hold your attention from start to finish. We hope that BioWare has more of this in store for us in the future. |
