Rift - MMORPG at its finest

PostedMarch 31, 2011

Rift is the epitome of everything that has ever been done right by all the other Mass Multiplayer Online developers. After spending 6.5 years playing WOW and Everquest before that, someone has finally come along and made a new milestone in the MMORPG market. You can definitely tell that Trion has done their research, taking 5 years to produce a game that is not only challenging, but gets more impressive the further into the game you get. It is definitely not a game for the light hearted player as its advanced Ascended Soul System gives you the ability to have the ultimate diversity and customization that most hardcore players are looking for. All 32 Subclasses are viable for endgame content and makes the game that much more appealing. The ability to raid at any level in level appropriate zones and the token system for purchasing raid quality gear is yet another bonus to Rift. World Bosses and Events that happen every few hours gives the average players a break from the usual grind and gives them something exciting to look forward too. I would definitely give this game a "10" for total satisfaction.

Lasting appeal is fail

PostedMarch 31, 2011

I waited to review this game for a reason, I wanted to see how long it took for me to get bored. I've barely played it for 2 or 3 days, got my only character to level 11, and am already getting bored of the game. There is almost nothing to do. Warfronts are boring, skilling is boring, questing is about all there is to do.. which is boring. The only part that keeps me playing are the rifts, which is just the same thing over and over again, so even that is getting boring. Sure, buy the game. You will love it at first, I guarantee that much. But after that new feeling passes.. you will want your money back. I hope you take this as a serious review, since its not from some idiot who just got it, made their first character, didn't even do anything yet, and say that it is the best.

REVIEW FROM SOME1 WHO IS NOT A WoW FANBOY

PostedMarch 30, 2011

hey this is just a quick review. first off i am not a fan of WoW... i tried to 10day trial version when i purchased SC2 and just didnt life it. i have only played rift for about 8~ hours but so far its been really good. Seems like 90% of the people who dont like rift say it is too similar to WoW. Well the layout, controls,job system are similar to Wow but the graphics seem more like guild wars, which is a plus. Really what got me hooked from the start in Rift is the story and quests. when i started wow i felt like it was pointless, i was just running around and doing errands. In rift, u start the game in a middle of a battle. So right from the start it feels like there is a reason for all the little side quests. another cool thing is when rifts open and random players come together to kill some tough enemies. basically my reason for writing this review was to tell people who didnt like wow to give rift a try. its been really fun right from the start.
