Another top score for Neverwinter Nights The Electric Playgound, with 9.5 out of a possible 10.

Curse all of you for making me write this review and dragging me away from valuable Neverwinter Nights time. In fact, what are you doing here reading this? Why aren't you playing the game now?

Ok, somewhere in my NWN obsessed mind I vaguely remember a thing called "rent," which I pay by writing about games, so here I go: Neverwinter Nights is a fantastic game, a great accomplishment, and by far the best PC game I've played this year. Actually, it may be the best PC game of a good many years. I can picture other gamesmakers checking out the game, and then just surrendering. Yes, I know there's a small element of backlash surrounding this title, as there always is with any big name/big hype release. But honestly I don't know what they're on about. I am floored by this game.

The 3D Guru doesn't give the game a score, and in their opinion the game isn't perfect (yet).

All in all, if Bioware would fix 3 very annoying and game breaking bugs, this game would be the cream of the crop for RPG's for years to come. Until these bugs are fixed however, they are a thorn in the side of many who want to experience this game hassle free. If anything, the single player game will whisk you away to another world for the time being, as long as you can handle having to go through a dungeon 2-3 times because the map said you were already there when you weren't. I just couldn't let another review go by without letting the public know, that the grass isn't as green as some people might lead you to believe. This game is getting tremendous fan boy attention, even from most reviewers who maybe just want to ignore the problems this game has because they either do not want to admit there are major faults in the game, or simply have not played it nearly enough to give that review in the first place.
