Neverwinter Nights 2: NWN 2 Review at GGMania: 81%

Another review has popped up at Gameguru Mania that scored NWN 2 at 81%. Here's a portion of the write up:

The party system has changed considerably from the original game. Instead of giving you full control of your main character and relegating the rest to the AI, you now have complete say as to what they do in every round of combat. Yeah, these companions can be directly controlled in combat and have their inventories manipulated by the player. Unfortunately, the game lacks any kind of global inventory management system, so every time you go to switch a character out of an active party, you need to spend a significant amount of time swapping around items to make sure everyone's ideally equipped.

And in summary:

Overall, I would say Neverwinter Nights 2 is definitely worth its cost. It looks to make advances in all of the same areas as the original - strong single player content, solid multiplayer experience, excellent toolkit and support for all aspects of the user community. There are a lot of frustrating bugs and issues still in the game (do save very often if you play the game, the quick save is there for a reason), but the latest patch has significantly improved performance and fixed many bugs. I would definitely recommend this game for fans of this genre.
