Lords of EverQuest Reviews

Another pair of mediocre reviews for Sony’s Lords of EverQuest have hit the web. The first can be found at GamePlasma with an overall score of 8.4/10. Check it out:

Lords of EverQuest tries to straddle the line between RPG and RTS, but only occasionally gets either right. Most gamers won’t find any need to go back and replay the game using the other four lords, unless they feel an affinity for each race. In the end, Lords of EverQuest will appeal mostly to fantasy freaks that’ve beaten Blizzards latest offerings or EQ fans looking to fill their time before EverQuest II’s release early next year.

And the second is over at SharkyExtreme with an overall score of 6.5/10:

Lords of EverQuest is a better-than average real-time strategy game, but its biggest obstacle will be finding its core audience. Die-hard EverQuest players will be drawn to the appeal of playing RTS-versions of familiar units, but might not be willing to pull themselves away from the popular MMORPG to join the real-time strategy foray. RTS aficionados might not be willing to forgive some of the game’s immediate flaws, along with the need to change gears and update RTS strategies. Those who will pull the most out of Lords of EverQuest are the ones who dabble in both RTS and EverQuest pools, and are willing to look past some of its shortcomings and dive into the new revision of a familiar universe and characters.
