    Game Revolution (A-):

    It's like a bottle of bourbon to a recovering alcoholic, this Neverwinter Nights. Right when you think you've gotten a hold of yourself, Bioware decides that it's time for you to get rid of that tan and lock yourself in your room for a few weeks. Not that there's anything wrong with that, because despite a few small problems, Neverwinter Nights delivers on its promise to completely ruin your social life.

    The game is essentially a vastly updated version of Bioware's award-winning Baldur's Gate games, featuring a similar game flow and single-player structure. However, a brand new engine, new 3rd edition D&D rules and an outrageously ambitious multi-player scheme take the art of PC D&D role-playing to brave new heights.

    Game Industry News (4,5/5)

    Given the long development time and the many, sometimes conflicting press releases and various other information I read about the product, I really did not know what to expect. Some people thought, and based on the feedback I get from our readers still do, that Neverwinter was a massively multiplayer game in the realm of Ultima Online or Asheron's Call. Its not, though you could hardly blame gamers for thinking the wrong thing.

    EpiGamer (7,5/10):

    The whole concept of Neverwinter is ambitious, but it is almost like handing people a copy of C++ and telling people the possibilities are endless. Everybody knows about the great potential of Neverwinter, and so I’ve focussed on the negative, I have no doubt that one day the true brilliance of Neverwinter will be revealed, but until then it’s simply not the be all and end all of RPGs that it claims to be.

    Gamer.tv (8,9/10):

    But despite the game's intrinsic complexity, it's pretty easy to get into. That fact could see it bridging the gap between hardcore role-players and the more casual Zelda generation. Neverwinter Nights is a cracking game and a safe, bankable product for BioWare, one that looks like setting the standard for the genre. I've lost many hours sleep to this game already, and I've enjoyed them all.
