LOTRO Vs. Vanguard SOH

Posted by Draedus in Vanguard News, Vanguard Fan Sites

Radical over at MMOspot posted a decent, unbiased review of the two newest MMORPG’s in the market; namely Lord of the Rings Online and Vanguard : Saga of Heroes.

LotR Online vs. Vanguard: SoH

He compares Sound quality (from music to effects), Graphics (including general visuals) and finally (and most importantly) Game Play.

While I had the highest hopes for LOTRO the ” I told you so” pessimist in me giggles gleefully every time I see anything about LOTRO. I suspected (despite my high hopes) that they would dissapoint lovers of the LOTR franchise by producing an under-impressive MMORPG.

Radicals review gives LOTRO plenty of credit on the things they got right, but mirrors one of the biggest complaints I have about the game - the lack of class variaty and the too-familiar feeling of the slightly reworked WoW game play.

The review points out some Vanguards ‘flaws’ which I can’t argue with, including high-end PC requirements and the still slightly-stiff combat animations (although I’ve seen many improvements since release)

All-in-all I think its a fair review and a decent read. Thanks Radical!
