Guide Review - Neverwinter Nights
Neverwinter Nights tried to bring Dungeons and Dragons online. They've succeeded. With a limitless amount of adventures, friends can now meet online, if getting together to play the table top version is not possible. Neverwinter Nights is also based on the new 3rd edition rules of Dungeons and Dragons.
The 3-D graphics engine is superb, with weapons gleaming in the torch light, and textures that are almost life-like. The opening sequence teaches you the game-play features.
Users with older PCs will definitely have some trouble playing this and even more so online. I suggest sticking with the recommended system requirements at least.
