The audio is above average but music isn't utilized nearly enough. 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 worst part is that even though it runs poorly the graphics aren't appreciable. Conceptually, Warhammer Online is a stellar game. A very average MMORPG experience that I cannot recommend personally. Unfortunately, the develops decided to recycle their 9 year old game engine that was previously used in Dark Age of Camelot. With a PvP and casual driven experience in the forefront, this is a game that seeks to entertain. The engine lacks many things that make a game such as World of Warcraft addictive and enjoyable.
But the rules are rather restrictive, the end game fighting is repetitive. 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. Most nights the 'war' is an endless excersise in keep-swapping with zergs basically chasing each other's tails. But this game will provide several months of fun for anyone who is new to the genre. Unfortunately, you cannot dictate fun to people who play online. It is a good game with nice features and exciting realm versus realm fighting.
Try this game. This game was everything I expected and more. The hardcover graphic novel is now sitting on my shelf of prized possesions. 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. You tired of waiting week after week for raids in WoW. Tired of having nothing to do after you're geared out.
I was new to the RvR experience, but have really enjoyed a new PvP experience with it. However, gameplay does the graphics justice. Being able to game XP through PvP'ing is a great concept. Yes, I've been a WoW junky, but Warhammer Online is sweet relief from the World of Warcraft grind. The graphics are great.
Also, lots of kinks still need to be worked out (technical issues). As stated in multiple reviews, includes a lot more PVP action/campaigns. Not a bad game, but not great. 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. I am going back to WoW for my gaming fun. Not great. It's good. A lot of the concepts are repeated in Warhammer that are in WoW; kinda like reinventing the wheel.
