NWN2 - Comprehensive Review @ Gamespy

Gamespy has updated last week's quick review with a much more comprehensive look at the game. Scoring Neverwinter Nights 2 with four out of five possible stars and a "Great" rating, the review is accompanied by several screenshots.

Obsidian has very effectively drawn on its legacy to make Neverwinter Nights 2's packaged single-player campaign worthy of its exhaustive pedigree. The game's story is epic in scope and far-reaching in magnitude, making up for its relatively slow start with a handful of surprises sure to excite fans of D&D's venerable mythology. Your character starts out as a simple orphan from a backwater village, though once the story gets going, you'll find yourself flirting with royalty, foiling inter-planar assassination plots, and ultimately locking horns with foes of nigh-divine proportions. And that's only half the story -- built into the game's intricate dialog system are plenty of moral choices for you to make, many of which radically alter the factions you end up allying with and determine how well regarded you are by those close to you.
