Neverwinter Nights Review @ MadGamers

Category: News ArchiveHits: 930
Ambitious but ultimately disappointing, Neverwinter Nights is a bold vision of the future but it seems destined to failure. Those expecting an involving single-player successor to Baldur's Gate will be most disappointed: Neverwinter Nights' included campaign is dull, cliché-ridden and frequently laughably simplistic. The game is really designed for multiplayer where it opens up a great deal but the difficulty of playing a sixty-hour game with the same group of people may mean that most people will be denied the true experience, and will instead to have to contend with the experience-grabbing carnage servers that already proliferate. Neverwinter Nights may have a bright future, but it will depend on the dedication of the user community and their skill in creating new and more interesting adventures: whether many will bother, given the uninspiring starting point, remains to be seen.
