What can I say? Neverwinter Nighs 2 is a major disappointment!!
User Rating: 3.7 | Neverwinter Nights 2 (CD-ROM) PC
I went into this game with high hopes, but realized very fast that Neverwinter Nights is a major disappointment. It starts with the creation of the characters, which I will say is not that bad, but when the game starts, and you are allowed to see the environment you are about to spend all your time in, this is where you see Neverwinter Nights show its faults. The graphics on this engine is horrible. With the names behind this game you would have thought the graphics engine would have been better. If this was made by a first time RPG game creator this review would not be so harsh, but given who is behind this game I can not ignore the faults Neverwinter Nights 2 has. One of the Major problems I have with this game is the linear path you must take to get around the world. This is my second review, and both reviews where on an RPG that was limited by your characters ability explore the surroundings you are in. Another bad point to this game is the way in which the story plays out. I felt that the story has already been told, and I am just following the line to the end with Neverwinter Nights. I would have to say the last thing, and the most awful part of the game, is how you move your character! For the love of GOD, can there be any worse control on a game system than this? I felt I was back in Ultima 7 (1992) moving around, but this has to be worse than that, being that you have the camera to fight with! You open a door and run in the room only to be lost by the angle the camera has taken. This has to be the worst game control I have ever had to deal with, and this is a modern game system? WOW! Very disappointed!
