    Gamesmania has posted a very well written review of Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter. It scores the game at 75% and also includes a few screenshots. Read this introduction, then check out the rest.

    Those fertile minds over at Black Isle Studios have done it again. Ever since Fallout 2 they have turned out role-playing masterpiece after masterpiece. Their latest offering Heart of Winter (HOW), an expansion pack for last summer's hit Icewind Dale (IWD), is sure to please any fan looking for some good old fashioned dungeon crawling fun.

    An ancient evil roams the land of the Ten-Towns, bringing with it the threat of war. The barbarian tribes have united under a new King, Wylfdene, who has risen from the dead and claims to be possessed by the sprit of the great barbarian hero Jerrod (the story of Jerrod is told in the original game). A shaman of the tribes, Hjollder, has a vision of you and your party participating in the events that are about to unfold. Unfortunately, his vision is clouded and he is not sure what role you are to play. He asks that you travel north to Lonelywoods to meet with Wylfdene. And so begins your new adventure in the frozen region beyond the Spine of the World mountains.

    In another review, Gameraiders has given Heart of Winter a final score of 69. Game graphics and sound get high ratings, while unsurprisingly, the value gets the lowest score.

    The highly anticipated expansion pack to one of last year's best RPG games, Icewind Dale, is finally upon us. Heart of Winter features an enhanced engine, new story, higher character levels, new monsters, new items, and new spells. If it wasn't for the fact that you'll only get a few hours of gameplay out of it, it'd be an excellent expansion.
