    GamePlasma have reviewed the Hordes of the Underdark expansion, giving it an overall score of 8.6. Here's a snip:

    In terms of graphics, it looks a lot fresher than Shadows of Undrentide did. There are new tile-sets that look pretty nice, and stay true to the Neverwinter Nights style of textures. The new spell effects are probably the most impressive addition, but if you choose maximum texture and shadow quality, and a reasonable resolution I can assure you the game itself isn’t an eyesore. Unfortunately there isn’t any lip-movement during the cinematic sequences that are shown, which is somewhat of a shame in 2003. The characters are nicely animated and make appropriate gestures, so it doesn’t look too unrealistic, but in terms of facial expressions it’s pretty far off the ideal. The game ran very well on my PC for the most part, but during the last chapter when you’re in really big fights the frame-rate does bog down a bit. On the other hand you can customize a reasonable amount of video related options to suit your hardware, so there’s no reason why you can’t run the game properly.
