Video Game Reviews of Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the Underdark Expansion Pack
Customer Review: GREAT expansion pack
Summary: 5 Stars
This expansion pack brings to the table some very cool things. Players can craft items, choose epic classes, new weapons, skills, spells, camera angle can be set virtually in any position, there's even a sky now in the game! Very cool indeed. The new adventure is interesting, very very long and the storyline is pretty deep. There is however a point where you will get the feeling the whole thing is starting to drag for too long.
This is how Neverwinter Nights should have been from the beginning. DON'T miss out on this great expansion.
Customer Review: Great Game
Summary: 4 Stars
Most excellent...but pretty much always crashes. That, of course, is no problem for me because it is nothing for me to see the problem and fix it. I must say, for the average gamer it might be tough to fix. You need to update drivers, uninstall, delete adware/spyware, delete in registry, and reinstall to be sure that you get it working. Once it works, it is a fun game to play.Customer Review: The best RPG in ages
Summary: 5 Stars
The thing about trilogies is the last one is always the most boring. That is not so with HotU. It starts with a dark heroine asking her wizards to summon up the image of the only man/woman who can threaten her might, and viola, you see a nebulous shape emerging. Oh My God! It is you.
Your mission will take you through dungeons beneath cities, the Underdark where the drow live and well, let me just say to hell and back. You will battle the most thrilling monsters, take sides, face betrayal, be inspired by amazing loyalty, and unlike Shadows of the Underentide, which *sucked* the characters here are well developed and romanceable. Female gamers will be impressed that the dominantly male industry has created a male NPC with some depth. You will meet old friends (Aribeth, Linu, Deekin), you will fight old foes (why give away the surprise) and even fight some old friends. (Yes, wait when you go on the quest of the sleeping man, he used to be my friend and he attacked me!!. The best part, you do not have to be a 16 year old with hyper reflexes and eye to hand coordination to play this game, but you will still feel like a God when you fell dragons and devils with one swing of your blade (did I tell you you can reach epic status of 40 and upgrade your weapons to do cool stuff including a +10 enchantment bonus?. I have already played this game 28 times, as a man, as a woman, as every possible profession, and as every possible race I could think of and am still having a party. I'd recommend it to anyone and they ought to thank me.
Customer Review: The installment that is the most fun to play
Summary: 4 Stars
For me Hordes of the Underdark is the most fun installment of the series to play. The plot is OK, and is the standard fare for most Dungeons crawls. The Hero and his party of followers head into the depths of the earth to save their homeland from invasion and destruction. Graphically Neverwinter Nights is OK, though it isn't the most graphically outstanding game I have seen. However, the game play is very good. In this installment you can add two henchmen to form a small party for the first time. Unlike dungeon siege there is more of a plot to keep you going, with puzzles to keep you on your toes. D & D purists may hate this games because of its real time and non-turn based structure. However, they may well be in the minority as flowing game play is what I, for one look for. So four stars because it is just an expansion, but one worth buying.Customer Review: Fun even for nongamers
Summary: 5 Stars
I am not a hardcore gamer. I wouldn't even really call myself a gamer at all -- I'm of the "if my husband's playing it and it looks really fun, I'll give it a try" school.Well, I've never played D&D in my life, but I am a HUGE Neverwinter Nights fan. I love being able to customize my character's appearance and skills, I love the graphics, I love the adventures and the ability to roleplay my character in many different ways (from goody two-shoes to black-hearted villain).
Having finished the original Neverwinter Nights and the Shadows of Undrentide expansion pack, I started in on Hordes of the Underdark. Without a doubt, it's my favorite so far. The quests are more interesting (some even stumped me, and I had to go to the Bioware site for a little help!). There are new classes, which are fun to play, and there's even a little romance in the game! I have to admit, I thought that was a great element. I don't know how the guys who play this cared for it, but it really added some fun for me.
