Video Game Reviews of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning
Customer Review: WAR is the best MMO out right now
Summary: 5 Stars
Warhammer is easily the best MMO out right now. Since EQ I've played three new MMOs, WOW, LOTRO, and now WAR.
To quickly compare the three:
World of Warcraft is the most polished (it's been out the longest), has the biggest online gaming community out there (albeit a largely immature and racist one), item-based gameplay, fantastic instancing (dungeons), Arena PVP, and has the most cohesive PVE/PVP balance.
Lord of the Rings Online has the most lush and beautiful visuals, the smallest community of the three (though big enough, and no doubt the most intelligent and mature player base), the best RPing, the most brilliant story (considering the source material), the most true to heart rendition of Middle Earth in game, and the best PVE content around. Also, it's soundtrack is a whole other achievement in it and of itself.
Warhammer Online has the most incredible, original, and addicting PVP (RVR), the most creative, customizable, and expansive class choices, probably the best graphics (it's the newest of the three), the best character design, the best crafting system, the simple yet brilliant innovation of Public Quests, and other encouragements to party with fellow members (You are forced to interact with other players in as many situations as possible)
Of the three I play LOTRO the most, but overall I will have to merit Warhammer Online as the best MMORPG available today because it is the most original, the most addicting (because of it's highly competitive RVR play), and the most ''classy''.
Customer Review: Warhammer is good
Summary: 4 Stars
This game is turning out better than I expected. I played ultima online and everquest for a long time. I also played WOW and Dark Age of Camelot for a while. I find this game to be better than those others. I would like there to be more crafting if I were add something I would add weapon and armor crafting. But other than that I really like it.
The concepts of public quests and the implementation of instanced "scenarios" are great!
Customer Review: Great game. Lots of fun.
Summary: 4 Stars
This game implements many smart and effective mmo ideas in a way that is not overly processor intensive. The adaptation of the Warhammer universe is very well done and characters are highly customizable, allowing for lots of repeat play.
This game really shines in the Player versus Player (RvR) department, with interesting battle grounds and really fun siege weapons that ensure even lower level players can prove effective and helpful to the team. The RvR system is designed in such a way that it prevents twinking and keeps that aspect of gameplay rewarding by providing ample gold and xp for player kills.
Ultimately, this is a well designed game. It's only real flaws are long load times between zones and graphics that could be better.
Customer Review: Pre-order MESS
Summary: 4 Stars
Game's great but non of my pre-order codes worked even the new ones that were sent to preload on fileplanet. I had to wait untill the product arrived, which defeated most of the reason to pre-order. Overall very poorly organized. The phone help at Amazon were great but it took the other department days to get the other string of wrong code for fileplanet to me, I just gave up. Does it sour me on Amazon absolutely not. I think this will be a lesson learned, this company is smart, I am confident that will never happen again.Customer Review: Can't create an account
Summary: 1 Stars
The game wouldn't accept my authentication code , so after an hour on the phone (at my expense) the customer service rep told me to try again tomorrow!
I should have known better than to buy a game by EA . We had blackballed them for awhile after they dumped 'Earth and Beyond' ( the best space game for the time)
This isnt starting off too well if I cant even log on to play
