Bad sequel with overrated reviews.

User Rating: 3 | Neverwinter Nights 2 (CD-ROM) PC
I bought the game, installed and played it for a couple hours. Truthfully, I felt very disappointed, especially since I had played the first NWN. For me, the graphics suck. The controls also suck. The atmosphere and interaction of playing it just don't get to me, after several months I installed the game again and it still sucks. Well, for the sake of past love of the game, I didn't return NWN2 but put it away in my games' cabinet.

When playing NWN2, I had a pretty decent system to be able to use almost all the game's graphical effects. The graphics didn't look that good for a demanding spec. There're better looking games at the time with less requirements. Perhaps my feeling of a bad in-game atmosphere was because of the textures, they didn't look polished, even looked plain without graphical effects. The camera didn't help also, it sometimes moved insensitively.

Hated the dialogs and voice-overs. They were corny and sounded overworked.

I didn't read any reviews prior to buying the game, because I had put the game in my must-buy-games. After playing it, I read several reviews giving the game a good - even great - scores. With all the categories on giving scores to a game, I cannot understand which one gave NWN2 the boost to be a great game. Really, I think this game is overrated.
