Why Bother?
User Rating: 4.5 | Lineage II: The Chaotic Chronicle PC
Yes the graphics are beautiful which is the main reason i bought this thing in the first place. However the game play is boring and not terribily challenging or enjoyable. The interface is annoying in that you can't jump and tend to get stuck in the scenery easily. Also I have no clue what the game designers were thinking by making the characters run all hunched over. I find this annoying interface and graphic particularly puzzling when you compare it to City of Heroes, also put out by NCsoft, which has one of the best interfaces and character movement of any game out there. (and which by the way is also a far superior game) I can not believe this game is so popular internationally. Do Asians not have any access to all the far superior games available in Europe and America? Or is their taste simply that bad? I've tried alot of these games and still play more than one such game routinely and believe me, virtually any other Mmorpg out there that has gotten any sort of decent press is a better game. In no particular order you are much better off and will probably have alot more fun playing any of these games over Lineage II World of Warcraft City of Heroes Everquest Everquest II Dark Age of Camelot Anarchy Online Final Fantasy XI I am sure there are others out there that are better as well but these are the ones I have tried that I think are better. So don't get caught up in any kind of hype about this game has more players than all the others combined. China has more people than all the countires in the Nato Alliance combined. That doesn't mean you should move there.
