Video Game Reviews of Neverwinter Nights Platinum

Customer Review: Good but not great: too combat oriented, Baldur's Gate is better
Summary: 3 Stars

I have played through the Diamond version of this game, including Undrentide and Hordes of the Underdark.

I can't say much for the multiplayer aspect of it, since my friends aren't really d&d people, but I can speak for the single player aspect.

This is one of those games like starcraft, WoW, etc. that is fun mostly for the endlessly competitive tactical combat aspect. In NWN, combat is all about math, especially for fighters. This is fine, except, there's not much besides combat in this game, so it gets tedious, since unlike in the above games, you don't participate in combat, you just click on something and then wait. (in NWN you only control one character)

There's not a lot of story, not a lot of non-combat challenges (Although there is one lawyer-quest that is pretty fun). Plus the background environments are highly repetitive, there's very few textures and all the buildings look the same inside. In other words, don't expect this game to have much 'meat' to its plot or atmosphere compared to the high-quality single player RPGs like Final Fantasy 7.

You might say to me: "Hey, but what about all the modules you can download?" Yes, there are a lot of modules to download, but there is basically only one that reaches the quality level I am referring to (Darkness over Daggerford), and all the other ones have either bad writing, dubious content (awkward polygonal sex scenes come to mind), or are just plain short.

All in all I would say if you like games like Diablo II, then buy NWN.

On the other hand, if you like games like Final Fantasy 7, with more of an epic story, side-quests, mini-games, and variety in general, you are much better off getting the Baldur's Gate box set below.
