I have posted up my review of Neverwinter Nights 2 on the PC-DVD Rom. Here is a piece from the review:

Returning to Neverwinter Nights was a great experience which is pretty lucky considering how high everyones hopes were that it would be success. Why were the hopes high? Well firstly it is a sequel to the best Dungeons and Dragons based license, 2nd it had the designers of some of the other fantastic role playing games like Baldur�s Gate and Planescape Torment. I�m happy to say that overall the game lives up to these hopes; firstly it has an excellent really enchanting story that is full of characters, twists and turns.

The original Neverwinter Nights had a good story, but it was never one that really made you want to keep playing it through, Neverwinter Nights 2 is different, it manages to keep you interested throughout the 50 hour long campaign, this is something the developers should be proud of as not many games even last 50 hours these days, let alone keep you enthralled. You start the game by creating your character. You pick the race, subrace, appearance, class, moral alignment and finally the voice for them. Once you have done this the story begins, you start off as a young man trying to impress his step-father, the story starts off slowly, building up early on after an early attack on your home village. I won�t spoil anymore of the story for you, but suffice to say, there will be a lot of combat, dialogue and exploring to do.
