Video Game Reviews of Neverwinter Nights
Customer Review: Not my cup of ale
Summary: 2 Stars
The game is a FPRPG with a rather difficult-to-get-used-to interface. I admit to liking the 3rd person RPG format better(Baldur's Gate/Icewind Dale) which translates to the lower ranking here. If you like FPRPGs, this may work for you, though you're limited in where you can go and what you can do. After a few hours of play, and a lot of saving, the game interface gets frustrating, making the game less than playable (or enjoyable) for me.Customer Review: An Online Game

This is a marvolouse online rpg game!!!
Though i am not to shore about the game other than online,
If ytou buy this game you better find a good online server for it and it will be the best game you have ever played!!!Customer Review: As a newbie...I have enjoyed this game
Summary: 4 Stars
OK...I am a true 1st person shooter game addict. I used to play the D&D style games on Sega and Nintendo in the way back time!!!This game was my first return to that genre. I have to say I am enjoying this game. I am not blown away by it, but I do like it. I have read in some forums that Bioware took some of the best things D&D had to offer and threw it all out. I cannot comment since I am not into these games that much.
I like that this game cost me $30 and has kept me busy for days on end resolving puzzles while exploring the Neverwinter world.
I paid $50 for Max Payne 2 and Jedi Academy, yet finished them in 6 to 7 hours of pay time!!! RIP OFF!!!!!!!!!
NWN is a steep learning curve, the potions, spells, charms, and rules were utterly confusing to me and still are! I find the in game descriptions of items to be utterly useless! So I am a bit PO'd about that. The manual does nothing to help you. There should be a wizard to recommend character classes and help newbies pick character based on our game play style. Instead you get a menu of pre-created characters. You are better off reading a good walkthrough, using a trainer program at a cheat site so you can play and learn....THEN go back and do it for real.
Overall, I am enjoying NWN. I think the graphics are just fine. Not breath taking, but not bad either. Just remember this game is a STEEP learning curve...I am near the end and I canot figure out what somethings do or what some items are good for!
Customer Review: D&D Fans, this is for you
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a major D&D fan and as a DM I would say this is the best D&D style game I have ever played. I've played Baldur's Gate and Dungeon Siege and Neverwinter blows them all away. I also think the graphics on Neverwinter are outstanding. It's a must for D&D players and others who love RPG's.Customer Review: All about on-line
Summary: 5 Stars
I didn't bother to finish the NWN or SoU campaigns that come with game. Perhaps I am missing out, but once I stated playing on-line, going back to playing solo was, by comparison, boring. The on-line community for NWN is outstanding and provides opportunity for all types of D&D play styles, from hack and slash to non combat roll playing, with much in-between. There are a number of creative and dedicated people who have created worlds to explore and welcome all. So whether you like or dislike the campaigns that came with the game, you are totally missing out if you haven't spent some time looking for on-line adventures. It can be totally different experience. Hey, and best of all... once you have the game, playing on-line is free.
