Lineage II

"If you want a new RPG, and don’t mind a little community for a lot of combat, definitely get into the open beta period. If you don’t like hack-n-slash, PvP, or treadmills, you might want to pass this one by."

"Lineage II offers much the same as other fantasy MMORPGs and is currently more potential than reality."

"Depending on how you look at it, Lineage II offers either a repetitive grind or a stiff challenge."

"Players that are still involved deeply in Lineage are going to have to make a serious choice. They've involved a lot of time into their characters in one game, but the new possibilities and graphics of Lineage II are a call that will be too great for some to resist."

"A lot of the game's fans are holding out for the upcoming siege elements. Unfortunately, this is the same sort of weakness we saw in Shadowbane; both games have compelling and original content for high-level characters but there's precious little to keep us playing until we reach high enough levels to participate."
