Don't Buy This

This is without a doubt the worest attempt at stategy and RPG. The box of this game depicts massive armies slugging it out. I don't know how this is possible when you can only create a maximum of 28 units in this game.. Thats pretty sad when compared to todays standards. The AI is also nonexistant. I had only purchased this game because it was an Everquest product and I know that they are popular. This is definately a game to be left on the shelf of the store and regarded as nonsense. The makers of EverQuest should stick to RPG and not try to make a niche for themselves in strategy.

This game is horrible

i cant believe i wasted 30 dollars on this trash. i thought this would be better than warcraft3. WRONG!

if you want a good RTS game get Warcraft3 and/or Warcraft3 Frozen Throne. Just dont pick up this trash because if you do, you will be sadly disappointed that you lost 30 bucks.

Oh, look, it's Warcraft III with the ID filed off!

Honestly, it's just insulting that this is being passed off as original in any way. A glance at the graphics and then at the features list show it's more or less identical to Warcraft III. What's more, there's no Norrathian flavor to be found -- this game isn't EverQuest, it's not Warcraft ... who is supposed to buy it, I have no idea.

Enough with the relentless spinning off of new products, Sony. Concentrate on making the core game better instead of giving us EQ RTS, EQ phone, EQ Palm Pilot, EQ on PS2, EQ on Gameboy, EQ checkers, EQ jacks, EQ belly button lint ...

Excellent highbred of RTS and RPG

A lot of these reviews are for other Everquest titles? whats up with that? I haven't played any other Everquest title before ( monthly fees...) but so far this is one of the better rts \ rpg games I have played in some time. And thankfully there are no monthly fees! Though not amazeingly inovative it does a great job of combineing what works well in other rts's and rpg's to form an extremely fun highbred. Now that I have gotten used to all my units leveling after battles it will be difficult for me to go back to games where troops don't advance. I am a big fan of the blizzard line of games (Diablo 1 and 2, starcraft, and warcraft 3) and this seems like the natural progression forward. It also reminds me a lot of Dungeon Siege, in that in the single player it's all about constructing the right mix of melee, range and support units, although the possible combinations seem a lot more diverse here. The diversity of attack and resistance types add another level of depth to the tactics required to win. The interface is customizable and allows you to free up screen space to allow for more space to take in the gorgeous graphics. The types of characters are diverse, highly detailed, and dynamicaly animated. If you are a fan of action oriented roll playing games, or smaller scale rts's this is a must buy.

Warcraft 3 clone with improvements

I played the demo for this game (hence why I can review it before it is released). Lords of Everquest is basically a Warcraft3 clone. The concept, the name of the buildings, even down to the sayings the characters say. Granted, the animation is better and Sony did improve on a few things from W3, but it is a clone. The interface is easier than W3, but I haven't seen any story scenes so I can not judge the climax footage vs. W3. Basically, if you already own W3, getting this game is pointless since it is the same thing. It is nothing like EQ, Sony just slapped that name on it trying to get sales.

Lords of Everquest: This seems oddly familiar ...

Oh, that's right, I already played this game. It was Blizzard Entertainment's Warcraft III, one of the most successful games of all time, and it took Sony a whole year to put out possibly the most blatant knockoff of a computer game since, well, all the clones of Blizzard's Diablo II.

Everything from the feature lists on the back of the boxes -- which are almost point-for-point identical -- to the models, the interface, the campaigns and all the rest, just scream that SOE either thinks EverQuest players don't play any other games and won't realize, or that Warcraft players are so addicted, they want to play even shoddy knockoffs like this.

As for its Everquest connections, it would be nice if there were any -- the storyline for this game makes no sense with EQ lore, despite claims to the contrary, and indeed is mostly a compilation of what seems cool about EverQuest from a 5 minute glance at what the game has to offer. It's not worth picking apart the game's "lore" bit by bit, but suffice it to say, the notion that this is an EverQuest tie-in is insulting. Even the EQ tie-in game able to be played on telephones is more true to the MMORPG than this drek.

If you have any desire to pick this up, drop it like a hot potato and pick up one of the deservedly best-selling games of all time: Warcraft III. It's the real deal, it's better-balanced and designed, its graphics are sharper, and its storyline actually makes sense.

This game isnt bad, and i have to agree with some of you guys, it is better than warcraft 3, because...
1. No TAX SYSTEM
2. All Units Can Level
3. All Units can hold items
I could go on...
Ive been playing this since beta, and i can say that it is worth buying if your an RTS type of person.
