Dungeons & Dragons Online: Menace of the Underdark Reviews

It took a few days for a couple to pop up, but we finally have a pair of critiques for Turbine’s Dungeons & Dragons Online: Menace of the Underdark expansion pack to read through.

Ten Ton Hammer goes scoreless:

Issues aside, Menace of the Underdark is worth the price of purchase, especially if you’re a long-time D&D player. The setting is well captured from its source material. I love the wilderness areas and the random encounter system found therein. The adventures are well constructed and strategy is more in play than just running forward, bashing everything in sight. Graphics and sound keep on improving with every update. A lot of familiar creatures make their DDO introduction and to see the size and scope of the dragons really screams D&D to me. Plus, there’s evil Drow and Lolth to fight against. What more do ya want?

And End Gamers unofficially gives it an “A”:

All in all, this expansion rates an A in my book, not just because I enjoy playing DDO, but because it adds a vast area with several paths to explore and new items to acquire. Just spinning your new Epic Destiny should be more than enough to keep those who like the end game aspect of MMO’s pretty busy, and Epic level quests now come in Normal, Hard and Elite modes(and Elite really takes power and skill to get through).
