A game without a single player campaign thinks it can be successful? With online this good, it sure can!
How can a game be successful without single player campaigns? It's just unheard of. Were they too lazy to make a single player? Possibly. Could they have included a single player with this type of storyline? Most definitely. Do I care that it doesn't have a single player? Not at all!
While there is single player bot matches, this game does not have any single player campaigns. So, if you are not a die hard live fan, DO NOT buy this game. The makers completely overlooked you. But, if you like Gears of War online or any online FPS for that matter, you will find this game enjoyable.
The best way I can describe this game is "What if the soldiers from a Tom Clancy game studied under Yoda for a few years...and met some Orcs and Trolls and Dwarves along the way." The use of magic alongside weaponry is a nice touch! It really makes for an enjoyable experience. Is this game the second coming? Probably not, but it is one hell of a fun game. The online play will keep you occupied for hours as you try out all the different spell combinations and tech gadgets you can get your hands on.
This game is not going to be for the hardcore. I can see it now. People are going to either love this game or hate it. While it is a little complicated, I found it pretty straightforward to jump into. Please, oh please, do the training missions. Don't just jump right online or you will have no idea what you are doing (and piss a lot of people off in the process). Keep in mind, there are no respawns. So, if you read this review and decide to buy the game, look me up on Live. My gamertag is uppity crackah.
See you on the battlefield!
