EverQuest II

"EverQuest II can be a fun and addictive online role-playing experience that has a lot to offer new and experienced players alike."

"This is definitely some of the most impressive graphics and technology I've seen at the show so far."

"Death, a big sticking point for any MMO, is also handled a bit differently in EverQuest 2. Although the details haven't been fully realized as of yet, we did learn that when your character dies, you can sacrifice an item instead of resurrecting your character and suffering a penalty."

"Although we only scratched the surface of this absolutely huge MMO, our time with EverQuest II was pretty fun, and I can certainly say that the gameplay is more action-packed than the original, and the graphics and animations do look truly amazing, and rival those of the best single-player games on the market."

"...EverQuest 2 is the most refined expression of the model that the first game sparked. The beauty of the visuals and the variety of quests are definitely the high points for the game, but you shouldn't discount the game's presentation either. Balanced against those strengths are the game's slowness in opening up new content and some inconveniences in the organization of quests."
