GameFocus 9 of 10
Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning has finally been released and at a great time for many MMORPG players. If they finally tired of the fast click action of Age of Conan or their hundredth raid in World of Warcraft they now have a new rich and exciting game to play, but there are two main points I have to stress before I go down with the actual review. First off, the game starts out slower then any MMO I can remember, even EVE Online and from my own experience and dealing with other players in game that was a bit of a turn off, but rest assured that slow experience is a good thing while you learn the ropes and when you are a couple of hours in to the game the actual game picks up dramatically in its overall pace and fun. The other point is the game maxes out at level 40 and while during the beta many people seemed to complain about that pointing out other MMORPG's have level caps at 60, 80 or even 100 levels, you can not compare Warhammer's level system to theirs because I found that by the time I hit level 15 in Warhammer I actually had a longer and deeper playing experience then I ever had in World of Warcraft. When I topped out in World of Warcraft (all too quickly) and then I maxed out in Age of Conan (again so very fast) it was fun at first to do so but not rewarding or worthwhile...If you are a Warhammer fan in any form (and who isn't?), this is your first chance to play in the epic and fantastic world we have only seen in table top and the odd RTS before, so it is a must buy. For MMORPG fans and RPG fans this is also a must buy, for the simple reason it has many of the strengths of games like World of Warcraft and Everquest 2, but has also taken from its spiritual predecessor Dark Age of Camelot (best PvP Fantasy MMO of all time) to create a wonderful gaming experience for the PvP/RvR and the PvE player. - Brian Edey
