Lineage 2: Review @ Gamers.com

Gamers.com has kicked up a review of NCsoft's 'Lineage II'. There's no score but the tone doesn't sound too impressed:
Gameplay is the most important part of any game, and NCSoft seems to have forgotten this. Lineage II is simply boring to play. There's nothing to keep users playing, and no drive for advancement unless you are one of those extremely desperate for the clan-based PvP. In most MMORPGs, combat is at least somewhat entertaining, quests are interesting, and advancement brings new surprises and keeps characters traveling so the scenery never gets too old. Lineage II disregards all of that tried and true wisdom for single-click combat (during which I actually did go make a sandwich on several occasions), quests that have players do the same thing for hours on end, and scenery that rarely changes. There is a theory that Lineage II is an experiment in monotony, and its effects on thousands of simultaneous "monotones". If this theory is true, the scientists must have some very interesting, or rather uninteresting, data.
