Video Game Reviews of Vanguard Saga of Heroes

Customer Review: Vanguard - very fun game!
Summary: 4 Stars

I have played numerous online games over the years. This is one of the better ones! It is actually a 3-in-1 game. You have Diplomacy, Crafting and Adventuring options. You can max out your levels in all of them (it doesn't divide up your experience between the 3) or you can concentrate on just one or two. You can have a level 10 Adventurer, a level 2 Diplomacy, and a level 6 Crafter all in the same character!
There are also numerous character choices to start with along with different races and special abilities. The character building allows almost limitless facial types/expressions.
I personally think this could be a WOW killer except for a couple of lag and stability issues. Hopefully, the developers are working on these problems as I write!
The community is wonderfully helpful and there is a special area for 1st thru 10th level beginners. It is called the Isle of Dawn and for those who complete the end there are some special items that will come in extremely helpful for the main game. Overall a very enjoyable game and one I can see myself playing over and over again. If you haven't tried it, you should download the trial and see for yourself.
