Total Video Games have written a few words about Neverwinter Nights and they give it a score of 9 out of a possible 10.

Personally I enjoyed the Dungeon & Dragons legacy, the board game was superb if however incredibly complex and confusing which brings me onto my next topic. You would expect a game like Neverwinter Nights to contain so much information and vast amounts of ‘things’ going on that it would confuse and somewhat distress new and less advanced gamers. I must admit I have been playing games like these for years and I too get frustrated if I can’t understand what’s going on, thankfully Neverwinter Nights’ seams to have hit the nail on the head. As you play, the game itself develops at your own speed and at the level of your knowledge. Instructions are clearly displayed and simple to understand, admittedly there is still a lot going on but eventually you’ll get the hang of it. Using quick keys you can use different weapons, cast spells, heal yourself and to some extent get you and your team members out of trouble. If you die you have two options, load a saved game, which is fine if you have saved recently. Secondly you can re-spawn, this takes you back to the temple however you will lose crucial character skill points – again it’s another decision you will need to make.
