This game goes into the same category as WoW, but don't be fooled, its not WoW. If you're looking to play a MMO, it really needs the shot along with WoW to make a real decision. Lets face it, playing a MMO, i mean really playing, means you'll be playing the game for a considerate amount of time, and not to regret your shot, play WoW for 1 month, play War for 1 month, that should give you a little taste of what is coming for another hundred of hours. For the game itsefl, great graphics, great gameplay, PvP is fun and refreshing, PQ are a great idea to keep the game alive and fresh, and its a new way of presenting grinding. The game managed to keep the Warhammer table player happy, since it really create the feeling that you're in a war with the other factions. The only thing i didn't much liked was the character creation, i lacked of variety in a certain way since you'll not be able to customize your class with your race. Each race comes with a certain selection of classes. So you'll not be able to be, for example, a dark elf engeneer. Wait before going crazy on this, i know that it really makes sense since it comes from Warhammer (i played the table game for years) so being able to create classes wiht races wouldn't had made any sense, but for a MMO i would had liked to be able to choose more that being a black orc tank...(generic class, i mean that all ocrs you'll see in the game will be the same class). Still, if you're into Warhammer universe, its your game to play or at least give it a shot, cause it deliver a serious immersive shot. Its not just another WoW clone. Remember, the game (just like with WoW) really starts at the lvl cap, so its kinda hard to review it since i'm not lvl capped in it, but for a first touch to it, i like what i saw.

I personally haven't had so much fun levelling in a game, ever. There's simply never a dull moment. There's your usual questing/exploration, with a lot of variation in both. Then there's Scenarios you can join with a cli... Read Full Review
