SpellForce Review

TechnicalGeek has posted a review of SpellForce: The Order of Dawn, giving the RTS/RPG hybrid an overall score of 94%. A snippet:

Along with the campaign mode is the multiplayer function. Over the Internet, gamers can verse each other by building bases in many different maps. Races include the humans, dwarves, elves, trolls, orcs and the dark elves, a race almost never seen in fantasy games. Each race has its unique abilities, like the elves’ bonus to ranged attacks and magic against the dwarves who have sturdy melee warriors and architecture. I really wanted to do this upon opening the game, but when I logged into GameSpy, I was the only one who was logged on. I mean, come on, I am a geek, but the only person who actually plays a game- that’s just creepy. I tried again later, but all I got were these German servers who had different game versions than me. Great, a beautiful fantasy RTS with no one to play with.
