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.

Way better than Warcraft 3

This game is soooo cool. It takes the role playing aspect of the online Everquest and adds it to a great rpg model. All my units can level up, not just the lord; which is a huge improvement over Warcraft where just the hero could level up. Plus all my soldiers and such and hold items too! so I can make them stronger and even knight them, so they gain Lord like abilities. I've heard what people say about it against warcraft and i don't see what they talking about- LoE is so much better in what I can do with my armies in an individual level it's not even funny. And the art and game play is sooo much better than WC3's that there is no comparison. LoE just simply plays better, looks better and everyone should play it b/c it's a great game.

You mean Warcraft Killer!!!

Lots of hype about this being a Warcraft 3 clone. Yes, it is an RTS. Yes, it is fantasy with elves and dwarves. Beyond those, Lords of Everquest is clearly a game that can stand on it's own. After playing through the first 5 Shadowrealm missions, the game has taken on a different feel than any other I have played. I found myself grouping my favorite units together, and naming them and I am able to play through a lot of it with this small group. It has a very RPG feel to me with the stradegy aspect that I really enjoy. I hope this is the first in a francise for Lords of Everquest.

Great game...period.

I got my copy this morning when the stores opened and I've had so much fun playing through the first few missions of the Elddar Alliance campaign that I had to get online and buy a copy as a gift for a friend of mine.

Some of the reviews here were not of this game, so make sure you read carefully. I researched quite a bit about this game and most of the sites I checked had great things to say about it. After playing it myself, I'd have to agree that this is definitely a game for RTS fans. If you're new to the RTS genre, you'll love the story and look of the characters. If you're an RTS veteran, you probably already know that this game has some great elements that allow it rise to the top.

If you're one of the masses that KNOW that the best RTS game to be produced within the last 15 years was Starcraft, then you'll be pleasantly surprised to play a game that may (only time will tell) be as equally balanced and enjoyable as that great title.

It's one thing to come out with nice movies and intro's for your mediocre game...it's something completely different to actually spend your money and effort on the things that make an RTS great...and that's balance and diversity, something Lords of Everquest has O'plenty.

Great game for any RTS fan!

I played all the way through 2 of the 3 campaigns in this game. It took around 40 or 50 hours...and I had a great time playing! The experience was well worth the money spent. The look of the game is spectacular, head and shoulders above anything else within the same genre (compare WCIII characters next to LOE characters and you'll see what I mean). The Lords are extremely fun to play and control. I played through the Dawn Brotherhood campaign with Sakti the Monk and she was so powerful late in the campaign that I would walk her into some of the smaller battles alone, just to gain all the experience. This game is all about leveling your troops and being smart about your Lord and Knight aura's. So, I don't see how this game can be compared to the cartoony WCIII which doesn't have leveling and aura's.

If you don't believe me, check out some of the reviews on the big gaming sites...they all love the game.

Cool Game

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.

This game rocks
