EverQuest II Reviews

A couple of new reviews for Sony’s EverQuest sequel have been posted over the past few days. The first is at GameMecca with an overall score of 93%:

In the final analysis, Everquest II provides one of the best virtual fantasy experiences ever seen in a computer game. The fantastic graphics, pristine sound, and excellent guild and quest system make Everquest II a worthy sequel to the highly acclaimed original. However, some problems with game mechanics, the lack of PvP, and a slow XP leveling system can turn-off competitive players to the game. Players who like to play games for fun or to socialize, on the other hand, will greatly enjoy what the game has to offer. For that reason, one can best think of Everquest II as a virtual-fantasy experience, rather than a game. With a dedicated development team with over five years of experience in the genre, Everquest II is sure to only get better with time, and will likely remain the best virtual-fantasy experience for years to come.

And the second is at The Entertainment Depot with an overall score of 7.5/10:

Under the right circumstances, EverQuest 2 can be a pretty fun experience. Like every MMORPG, the people you meet and play with make the gaming experience. For prospective players looking to invest for the long haul, the game has loads of low level content at the moment, but not so much for the higher-ups. There are still some things to do at high levels, like guild-building, but the further one progresses in the game, the less there is to do. It’s a solid experience overall, but whether or not the game works in the long term will depend on how Sony decides to expand the content.
