Tags: Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the UnderdarkDiscworld, yes, the Discworld of the KOTOR review's fame, posted a review of HotU giving it 85%
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.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 this one
