Not to be outdone, IGN have posted their Shadows of Undrentide <a href="http://pc.ign.com/articles/424/424731p1.html" target="_blank">review</a>. It's fairly positive, though a little guarded with a final score of 7.7. Here's an example:
<br>
<br><blockquote><em>Shadows of Undrentide starts you out as a powerful Dwarvish mage's apprentice, searching for the culprits behind an elaborate artifact heist. There are evil wizards who deserve a good smiting, dragons to deceive and malevolent mummies residing in deep, dark crypts just begging to be annihilated. Sure, it's a bit cliché and generic, but it works. What is more problematic is the pacing of the story and the tempo of the game. You find some relatively powerful magic items pretty in the first dungeon in the game -- at least powerful for your level -- and it's slow going from there until the end of chapter one. Shadows of Undrentide has a few dénouements where everything just seems to come together in a nice little package, and a few major events all hit at the same time. Also, with the exception of the boss fights, the game is rather easy, so you'll blow through dungeons pretty rapidly, leaving a horde of dead in your wake. I personally prefer the story and spoils of labor to be a bit more evenly paced in my RPGs.</em></blockquote> |

With the proclaimed 20 hours gaming time, this expansion must be very very cheap, if I should have any interest, otherwise the fan MOD's are sufficient!
