Ill start of by saying that im not really a Fan of this genre. But i tried it out anyway just for the fun of it. And didnt that turn out to be the right choice.

Having tasted disappointments playing games of similar genre i was a bit skeptical about this one, But from the moment i played it i was in love.

The best part of the game is its simplicity and free flow nature. The game is modeled on a real time battle and once you play it you do feel like you're actually part of a great battle, rather than just a plain old hero bashing the hell out of the enemy.

The games objectives are balanced enough and change as the game progresses. This requires the player to always be on his toes. The objectives vary from killing a enemy general to capturing a key outpost. Be warned however that there are also certain objectives that if you fail, will result in your defeat. These objectives keep the game in balance and gives the player a real sense of a battle.

The action is non stop.

Even on low end PC's the game ran fairly smoothly giving the player a taste of non stop action. However the game lacks a strong story line and battles can sometimes be confusing with the sheer number of opponents and allies all fighting it out at the same time. The graphics and sound are not something to write home about but its good enough to let the player feel very comfortable within the game.

The Bottom line

This game is an absolute must to play if you are a fan of arcade style action games. Others also may find the game interesting if not fascinating.

Neverwinter Nights 2 : Storm of Zehir Review

A complete ruining of a classic game. (6.5/10)

When you think of a expansion for a game like NWN 2 the thoughts that would generally come to your mind would be new quests, new story line and perhaps new items and classes. That was pretty much offered in its 1st expansion "Mask of Betrayer".

But alas this expansion falls short of even coming close to the greatness of the original and its first expansion.



While playing the game you cant shake the feeling that the developers were more or less experimenting with stuff. And the game it self feels more like a beta release than a final release. New concepts such as trading and the overland map system are interesting but the lack of quality quests and a extremely poor story make this game a complete disaster. It appears that the developers were more interested in testing out the new concepts than actually creating a worth while game.

Most of the quests are pretty straight forward and short and the battles are even shorter. Leaving you wondering if this actually is a RPG game? And unlike its predecessors the locations are very small yet it takes a very long time to load the locations. The game is also filled with its fair share of bugs.

My final verdict. This is the kind of game that you should not waste your money on. Unless you get it for free, don't play the game.
