    Seems like a bit of a retread on a few of the expansion elements, but does, marginally, expand the game.

    It's not a total waste of money, yet it's not very important to the world or even the game itself. There are no ground-shaking improvements, aside from the extra character slot.

    I wasn’t able, at any point, to immerse myself in the world of Shadowbane at all. Running along a quadratic river that has plain blue non-reflective, non-transparent water and having snow suddenly appear out of the nowhere just doesn’t work for me, sorry.

    Just barely enought to satisfy true Shadowbane fans. [Apr 2004, p.90]

    Once you level-up as far as you can go (65), you've pretty much done and experienced all that you can. There are those that continue to hand around just to inflict serious damage on weaker players, but once they receive psychological help the game will be deserted.

    For Shadowbane's population of player-versus-player aficionados, the expansion doesn't seem to do much, nor does it do enough to compel new players to get into the game.
