Neverwinter Nights 2: NWN 2: MotB Review at Gamespy

Assigning Mask of the Betrayer a "good" rating of 3.5 stars out of 5, Gamespy has posted their review. The quick pros and cons:

Pros

Great storyline and characters; fun quests; new classes; terrific additions to Toolkit; epic feats and spells; excellent use of lighting.

Cons

Poor camera; confusing and chaotic combat; bugs and gameplay glitches; issues with spirit meter.

Concluding the review, another blast at the camera controls, inarguably the worst part of the NWN 2 experience from day 1:

Even here, bugs and poor implementation mar the experience. Character movement and spellcasting AI has been improved but characters still seem to have a hard time figuring out when to cast a healing spell and occasionally forget to follow the party leader. The quests also have some broken event triggers including one nasty one that made one of my party members disappear permanently. There were some dialogue boxes that attributed the text to the wrong characters and even a few of the ever-popular crashes to desktop.

Despite its problems, Mask of the Betrayer is a good-but-not-great expansion pack that will certainly interest any D&D fan. The new modding tools are an excellent addition to any homebrew RPG designer's bag of tricks and the single-player campaign is worth playing simply for the terrific story. If, in the end, Mask of the Betrayer's reach exceeds its grasp, better a game that tries to soar with the Celestials than one content to wallow in earthbound mediocrity.
