    NoMansLand have reviewed Hordes of the Underdark and rated it 85%. Here's a clip:

    Graphics-wise, everything is still the same, except that all the new creatures and NPCs have a higher polygon count and that the camera is now permanently unlocked. Bioware have also added skies that can be added in the toolset using the visual properties window. They look stunning, but some problems have cropped up with regards to areas being too big or the fog covering up too much of the sky. The developers will have to decide to either opt for looks, or go for performance. Much to the joy of mage fans, robes have been added. There are now four different robe appearances that can be added to any armour using the nifty new crafting menu. On the performance side, the game starts lagging on a mid-level PC when there are a lot of creatures on screen and spells are being thrown left and right. Of course, this is can be solved by toning down the graphics settings and sacrificing some detail.
