Video Game Reviews of Neverwinter Nights Diamond
Customer Review: Atari's only interest is Money.
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm another dissatisfied customer who had issues with his CD Keys. Atari was kind enough to provide me with new CD Keys so I began the install and update process. The auto update feature threw an error and I had to download a critical rebuild. After about an hour and half of installing downloading and installing some more I was finally able to start playing the game. Low and behold I had yet another error. Certain character models in the game lack color and appear white. I emailed Atari and waited the 10 business days but they never bothered to respond. My PC specs are above even the recommended systems requirements so I doubt it's an issue with my PC. The Bio-ware forums discuss this issue (look for metallic textures) but the recommended fixes didn't work for me.
With a game that has so many problems it's led me to believe that the only thing Atari cares about is making money. They no longer offer phone support (in other words they don't want to be bothered talking with you) and they say they will respond to email in 7-10 days. They didn't in my case. I'm really disappointed in this game and suggest you spend your hard earned dollars elsewhere.
Customer Review: Good times
Summary: 3 Stars
For the most part, all the fun aspects of the game have been said and hold true. My only complaints are the way the game runs. I have well over the minimum req's and a geforce 8800 GT OC 512 video card and the game runs kind of choppy/laggy quite a bit. Also some graphic glitches here and their through out the part of the game I've played so far. But for the price and what you get you can't beat it. I'd have given it 5 stars if I diden't have these small problems. (I haven't tried the latest patches yet though either)Customer Review: recommended
Summary: 4 Stars
In my opinion this is one of the best RPG platforms there are. The amount of Mods out there make this game have some serious replay value and I would recommend this to any RPG fan.Customer Review: Bought from amazon, cd keys still messed up
Summary: 3 Stars
Hey guess what all you guys saying "Buy the game from Amazon, the cd keys are good if you buy it through them". I DID buy it from Amazon directly and HEY it has the same 3 same cd key problems other people have. And this just happened recently, so stop saying that Amazon has the "good working" copies when they don't!!!
I just wanted to clear this up since everyone is saying "Go through Amazon and get a good copy" when they are lieing.
Customer Review: FANTASTIC GAME -- absolutely no key problems!
Summary: 5 Stars
(First off, let me just say that after reading all the negative reviews on here, I decided to order DIRECTLY from Amazon and was quite happy to see that this decision was the right one - opened the game and all three game codes worked perfectly! Now on to the review!)
I've been avidly playing this game for the past month and a half, and am currently about halfway through chapter 3 in the original Neverwinter Nights campaign. I'm just completely blown away by the detail and immensity of this world. Honestly, I've been playing RPGs on the PC and PS1/PS2 for decades (I grew up playing the original Zork series, Telengard from Avalon Hill, the Ultima series, the Temple of Apshai series from Epyx, and pretty much everything from Strategic Simulations (SSI) and Sierra Online, on not only the PC but my original system, the Commodore 64.... and even though I've found a lot of good games out there along the way, this is the first game in probably a DECADE that I've been just COMPLETELY absorbed by.
So as I said, I've been playing a DOWNLOADED copy of this game for the past 6 weeks or so. Unfortunately having non-legit keys only allows you to play the local, single-player versions of these games... and though that's nice, this game really doesn't open itself up until you start going to the BioWare website, download CEP (a massive expansion that allows you to install a TON of addons), and then start diving into the multiplayer world of NWN. And wow... I must say, this is really one of the best games I've EVER played in my life! And for UNDER TWENTY DOLLARS?!?!!! That's seriously the single best deal of my life. Once you're on the BioWare website you literally have access to THOUSANDS of add-ons for Neverwinter Nights, enabling you to quite literally play this game for YEARS... if not decades. I recently stumbled upon one multiplayer server called Altharian Adventures and apparently some of the people have been on there since 2002 (or earlier?), constantly working to improve the adventures and just totally make the whole multiplayer experience worthwhile and rewarding.
Enjoy this game! AND IGNORE THE WORDS OF THE NAYSAYERS - BUY THIS GAME DIRECT FROM AMAZON.COM AND YOU HAVE NO WORRIES!
