Computer Games has written a review of Dark Age of Camelot. Like so many other reviews, it is very enthusiastic with a score of 93/100. Here's a bit for you:
DAoC plays very well. The interface is easy to understand and use, though there are two things I have issue with. First off, there are far too many keyboard commands that could just as easily have been given mouse icons. The constant switching from mouse to keyboard gets tiresome and often confusing. Secondly, there are a ton of "/" commands. For instance, if I want to talk to someone in particular, I have to type /send . If I want to emote something, I have to type /e ...you see my meaning. There are literally dozens of "/" commands and it gets decidedly confusing to keep up with them all.
As with any online game, there are some bugs to be worked out. For instance, when you move from one 'zone' to another (entering or exiting a dungeon for instance) you lose any protective spells (called buffs) that you might have cast on yourself. As well, if you are in a party, your party is automatically disbanded when you change zones. These are a pain, and it would be nice to see Mythic address these things in the future. Now, that being said, the game plays much better than the other MMORPGs did when they were first released. Mythic seems to be taking its role as developers very seriously, which is nice to see. |
