Review: Neverwinter Nights 2

Aspyr Media keeps role-playing alive on the Mac by taking over the wildly popular Neverwinter Nights franchise. Neverwinter Nights 2 is bigger, shinier, and an engrossing RPG experience, but it’s not without its share of problems. The new graphics engine gets poorer performance without actually looking any better, the inventory management system bogs down the gameplay, and what should be the simple act of controlling your party has become a mess of mouse clicks and keyboard modifiers. Are the story, the four-character party system and the expanded class/rule set enough to compensate for these growing pains? Head over to Applelinks to find out.
