Neverwinter Nights Review @ IGN

IGN.PC made their review of Neverwinter Nights public earlier today, in which they gave the game a score of 9/10. An excerpt from their closing comments:

So there you have it. It’s been a long time in the making, but Neverwinter Nights was certainly worth the wait. It’s not the most creative or beautiful or revolutionary RPG I’ve ever played, but it’s one of the most interesting in terms of the total package. Even with the initial online problems, Neverwinter Nights is a finely crafted, in-depth RPG with a lot of story and plenty of side quests to keep you busy for a long, long time, and it will surely satisfy those of you looking for your next fantasy fix.

If you’re an old-school computer RPG fan who favors party-based adventuring, you may be a little disappointed, but it shouldn’t sway you from trying out Neverwinter Nights, especially if you’re interested in building and running your own digital D&D campaigns. This game is just going to keep getting better and better as more user-created content pops up on the Web, and I for one expect to enjoy it the whole way through.
