Shadows of Undrentide Review

As a single-player adventure, and as an addition to the mod-maker's palette, Shadows of Undrentide is a definite success. The compelling narrative and new prestige classes make it a must for BioWare fans. Those that were disappointed in Neverwinter's solo offering should give the expansion a chance, however, since it likely addresses many of their grievances. Though it takes around 20 hours to complete, you'll want to give it another go to try out another class for a different experience. The game's two biggest flaws are its outmoded graphics and the lack of a tank. The former was never expected since this is an expansion pack, but the latter is almost unconscionable as it makes several classes difficult to play. Those two blemishes aside, Shadows of Undrentide is a fun outing that builds nicely on Neverwinter Nights while adding some nice changes. Just like Jung did with some of Freud's work.
