NWN2 - Review @ Bit-Tech

We missed this review of NWN2 a few days ago...Bit-Tech's fairly lengthy review results in a score of 8/10 and a cryptic conclusion:

Is NWN2 a bad game? Absolutely not. Is it a good game? Not really, at least in its current form. Is it worth your hard-earned dosh? That depends. Cryptic enough? I wish I could elucidate better, but I'll try to sum it up.

The game's premise is good, its framework is excellent, and its execution is mediocre. If you're looking for the splendid storytelling of Baldur's Gate 2 with better graphics, this misses - but not because of the story. The basic ingredients are all there - a well-done battle system, a party system that feels comfortable, even well-written dialogue between party members. Voice acting can be very good in places, and the actual play (bugs notwithstanding) is genuinely fun. The game also includes a tremendously successful community and wonderful developer support. That's something I can't even say about a lot of games that were nearly perfect right out of the box.
