Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning (PC)

As a long time player of World of Warcraft and as a childhood Games Workshop fan, I decided to check out Warhammer: Age of Reckoning upon its release date to find out the competition. A lot of people will compare WAR (Warhammer: Age of Reckoning) to WOW (World of Warcraft) and put two and two together and come up with twenty-two. To begin with, I will cover what Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning has to offer, then include comparisons to its competition - World of Warcraft, so you will understand what Warhammer has to offer and the main factors between the two releases. Granted, both games offer PvE and PvP elements, all of which have a mixture of ...  Read the complete review

Before I write his I feel I need to make this clear, this is NOT World of Warcraft. It is a different game entirley and is a much World of Warcraft as Gran Turismo is Burnout. Same type of game but different ideas. The main focus of WAR is RvR (PvP to other folk) which sees the forces of Order (Empire, Dorfs and High Elves) pit their skills against Destruction (Greenskins, Chaos and Dark Elves) each race has 4 unique classes which breaks down into something for everyone, (a tank type, Melee type, ranged type and healer/dps hybrid). There is a great variety in this game and a lot of different ways to play to your own style. Coming from 4 years of WoW, ...  Read the complete review

Warhammer Online is a better game than World of Warcraft in almost every way. There we are, it's out in the open. That's not to say that WoW itself is a bad game, as it certainly is not -- my review of that particular MMO makes that very clear -- but Warhammer has just taken World of Warcraft and, well, made it much more fun. Firstly, if you don't like Player versus Player combat (PvP) this probably isn't the game for you. Although the normal PvE questing is there and there is an undeniably interesting storyline to follow, as well as public quests with superb rewards, PvE is mainly just something to do when you're not fighting other players and seems like more ...  Read the complete review

WAR hmmm where to start, Well first of all Think WoW but alot more team work dependant and killing each other alot more, ALOT MORE. This game comes from the creators of DAOC (dark age of camelot) and alot of the players come from that game and alot of traits have been carried over, for example The Massive Battles for keeps and cities, the large variation of classes (each class is unique although each side has a mirror to the other e.g Sorcerer and Bright wizard are mirror's and are known as glass cannons) This is a very realistic game with how things in ancient and modern warfare really are, You have Glass cannons, Absolutely almost ...  Read the complete review

Warhammer online is somewhat different to other MMORPG's available on the market at this time, that is to say it is centred around Player vs Player Combat (PvP), with Play vs Environment (PvE) as a sideline act. When you first enter the world, i was quickly reminded of Lord of the Rings online, the graphics in my opinion are very similar as is the gameplay to an extent. Nothings new here its just your normal run of the mill kill x amount of monsters or go and speak to x type quests. After a few levels however you will come across what are known in the game as "public quests" Public quests are spread through the WAR universe where you can ...  Read the complete review
