Summary: The website of MMORPG.com has released an article by its managing editor Jon Wood after playing the head start for Mythic#DY#s Warhammer Online. He offered many points of his opinions with the game to discuss "Is the game really worth players#DY# money?"

Are the graphics good?

There are a couple of ways to take this particular question. I should start by saying that pound for pound, I really like the graphics in WAR. I like the way that the world looks and enjoy my time there. I find that the art style does capture the feeling of the Warhammer Universe and that while the art style as a whole is reminiscent of the style in World of Warcraft (I#DY#ll let you argue about which came first on your own time), the implementation of the graphics is such that they look modern (especially at the highest settings... seriously and no pun intended, wow) and really enhance the overall feel of the game. I personally think that people who call the graphics outdated are confusing modernity with art style.

So, knowing that, if you#DY#re the kind of person who likes their games to have graphics as photo-realistic as possible, don#DY#t buy WAR. Nothing about WAR looks photo-realistic and it wasn#DY#t meant to, but if that#DY#s your bag (and I know it#DY#s just a preference for some people), you might to find that WAR feels a bit "cartoony" and "WoW-like".

Do I have to group / guild up?

This is another question that often hits close to home for me. Maybe I#DY#m just an anti-social player, but I#DY#ve never been a big fan of making sure that I find a group. It#DY#s almost always a hassle and my personal experience has been that finding a group has been more trouble than it#DY#s worth.

...

At the end of the article, Jon made a conclusion:

"If you#DY#re an MMO fan, you#DY#re probably going to get your money#DY#s worth out of your initial purchase (unless you fall into one of the categories above). I have been really enjoying my time in-game and honestly find it hard to put down at the end of the night. My Witch Hunter is now level 11 (very close to level 12) and I#DY#ve enjoyed every moment of it. Am I saying that the game is flawless? No. That would be silly. Am I saying that I#DY#m having a blast playing. Yes, I like it and I think you might enjoy it too."
