Much better than the highly advertised titles.
Age of Conan was released even though it is about two years away from completion (items were super limited in graphical design often using the same illustration for many items that were supposedly different).
WoW was good but is now behind the times and cartoonish.
This game has an immense variety of weapons and armor. And due to the fact that it is stackable you can stay with a lower level item as you progress, if you want.
Great graphics and detail on world, player, and items.
Very Large world with dungeons everywhere. Many, many types of monsters to battle.
Pretty Good primary quest, many other side quests, and due to the dungeons everywhere you can even determine your own.
It is not button mashing game play. Swinging a sword is far more like a First Person Shooter. That is a lot cooler than older style RPGs.
Only one downside: For single player you can only be a human male. My wife doesn't dig that so much.
