The audio is above average but music isn't utilized nearly enough. A very average MMORPG experience that I cannot recommend personally. Not only is it hard to tell what abilities you're using when you use them, but the game runs very poorly even on good computers. The engine lacks many things that make a game such as World of Warcraft addictive and enjoyable. With a PvP and casual driven experience in the forefront, this is a game that seeks to entertain. Conceptually, Warhammer Online is a stellar game. Unfortunately, the develops decided to recycle their 9 year old game engine that was previously used in Dark Age of Camelot. The worst part is that even though it runs poorly the graphics aren't appreciable.
But this game will provide several months of fun for anyone who is new to the genre. But the rules are rather restrictive, the end game fighting is repetitive. It is a good game with nice features and exciting realm versus realm fighting. I had hoped to see lots of open field warfare and there is some, but most fighting is channeled into keep fights - which can be fun, if that's what you're into.Me, I'll be moving on to a less restrictive 'sandbox' type pvp game. The designers of this game did everything that they could to make it fun. Unfortunately, you cannot dictate fun to people who play online. Most nights the 'war' is an endless excersise in keep-swapping with zergs basically chasing each other's tails.
Try this game. Tired of having nothing to do after you're geared out. The hardcover graphic novel is now sitting on my shelf of prized possesions. This game was everything I expected and more. You tired of waiting week after week for raids in WoW. The pvp is great.I was skeptical about buying collector's, but I'm a fan of the 40k series so I JUST HAD TO, ya know.
Being able to game XP through PvP'ing is a great concept. However, gameplay does the graphics justice. Yes, I've been a WoW junky, but Warhammer Online is sweet relief from the World of Warcraft grind. The graphics are great. I was new to the RvR experience, but have really enjoyed a new PvP experience with it.
Also, lots of kinks still need to be worked out (technical issues). I am going back to WoW for my gaming fun. As stated in multiple reviews, includes a lot more PVP action/campaigns. A lot of the concepts are repeated in Warhammer that are in WoW; kinda like reinventing the wheel. It's good. As a WoW gamer since it was released, I was growing a little sick of the "samo samo" of WoW, so I thought I would give Warhammer a try. Not great. Not a bad game, but not great.
