100 or More Hours

The Bottom Line:

"Amazing"

"Grinding quickly becomes an obtrusively big part of gameplay" -
Wrong. You can get to lvl 25 easily in a weak and there you unlock the Abyss and lots of dungeons which means you can get to lvl 35-40 easily in a month.

"Servers seem unable to cope with large-scale PVP battles" -
Yet again, wrong. I was in a very large scale PvP battle - Both sides had over 40 players and it didn't lag for a second.

"Invisible walls make flying much less fun than it should be" -
Which MMO doesn't have invisible walls? And in Aion you can fly only in cities and in the Abyss. It has an ingame explenation so I really don't see what's the point of mentioning it, you get a whole map of flying with 3 layers which doesn't include dungeons.

"Sound design is all over the place." -
Surprisingly wrong again. Your character got 5+ voice choices. They wouldn't make so much if the sound was bad. The sound is amazing from the second you enter the main screen.

Face it, they review was written by a WoWtard so of course he would say that Aion is bad. And even if somehow WoW is better, how exactly WoW ranked 9 and Aion 6.7? Look at the user score, it's 8+.

Aion is better than WoW in any category.
Graphis - is much better.
PvP - is epic due to the Abyss map and the fact that no class is completely over powered. A really good thing in Aion is the fact that clerics are very fun to PvP with, unlike WoW.
Story - Oh, here is the ultimate ownage. WoW ruined the whole world of Warcraft(absurd, huh?) because they continued the story through an MMO. Since when do you do that? That's just being greedy.
Aion got an amazing lore. It has lots of chapters and characters which is fun to read and you can really connect to each faction's story.

In conclusion, This game review is pathetic and obviously was written by a 40 year old WoW fan who lives in his mother's basement.
