First we go to Gamer's Asylum, where Neverwinter Nights scores 5 out of 5 in all categories except from graphics and AI.

The idea of allowing a single person (or even a group of people) to actively control world events (to a point) though the DM control, thereby creating the most faithful adaptation of a tabletop RPG on the PC to date, is truly a groundbreaking in that it takes you out of the position of being an observer in the world to actually BEING the world. It’s almost like mixing The Sims, a MMORPG and a construction set into one long awaited package. With so much fervor built up even before NWN’s release, I don’t expect to see it leave the top 10 best seller list for a long, long time.

FiringSquad's final verdict is a score of 91%.

Quite simply the biggest part of the game – multiplayer – has too many questions. None of these are BioWare’s fault. They delivered more than I ever thought possible. The Toolset is rock-solid, intuitive and all-powerful. It will let you build a world out of the building blocks that BioWare has provided. It can be just as good or better as the singleplayer game, or it can be the monster blank sheet that a DM has always wanted. The game is faithful to the core 3rd edition rules; it has a very modern graphics engine with all the goodies you could hope for.

Neverwinter Rush has written a rather short review, and their score is 10.0.

The graphics in NeverWinter Nights are divine. You cannot find anything that even compares. Simple things like walking through grass make you see just how great NeverWinter Nights is. Just sitting and watching the screen makes you content. Things like wind blowing, rain falling, grass moving, and etceteras have never been so perfect. When the wind blows, you may watch the grass move in such a realistic way you can't remember what is real and what is not. When the rain falls the environmental effects insult that of real life.
