It seems unlikely that BioWare's Aurora engine will enjoy as much staying power as the Infinity engine before it. But no one could have expected the Infinity engine to be around for five years, so who's to say? In any event, Shadows of Undrentide proves that the Aurora engine remains very capable of delivering some fun and exciting role-playing experiences. If you enjoyed Neverwinter Nights' campaign and core gameplay, then you'll find more of what you liked in this expansion, along with a number of bonuses that help make having to level up all over again an enticing prospect. At the same time, those well versed with the Aurora toolset should appreciate the new toolset improvements, tilesets, monsters, spells, and items afforded by this expansion. Ultimately, Shadows of Undrentide isn't the most epic or memorable RPG with BioWare's name on it, but it has plenty of good, new content to satisfy most any Neverwinter Nights fan.
