Tags: Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the Underdark
<a href=http://www.thediscworld.co.uk>Discworld</a>, yes, <i>the</i> Discworld of the <a href=http://www.rpgcodex.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=2948>KOTOR review</a>'s fame, posted a <a href=http://www.thediscworld.co.uk/neverhordes.htm>review</a> of <a href=http://nwn.bioware.com/underdark>HotU</a> giving it <b>85%</b>
<br>
<br>
<blockquote>It’s been a good couple of years recently for Bioware. The barnstorming success of Neverwinter Nights firmly cemented the RPG genre as a financially viable one and bought praise from all quarters (except for inbred, bearded goblin-slayers going by names like Okatula the Goblin killer and the like). Then Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic came along and brought the magic back to the Star Wars universe, which has now been followed up with a rather smashing second expansion pack for Neverwinter Nights. It seems like a long time since the only gamers playing RPG’s were the unwashed and socially inept.</blockquote>

In case you are wondering why I quoted this particular paragraph, it's because there isn't much else to quote. The reviewer mentions the epic levels, the story, the 2 henchmen thing, notes the lack of multiplayer, and that's about it. Not a word about the gameplay. So if you are still looking for a good review of HotU, I recommend <a href=http://www.rpgcodex.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=2722>this one</a>
