Shadowbane: The Rise of Chaos - Review @ MMOG Hell
   

Shadowbane: The Rise of Chaos has received a disappointing repsonse at MMOG Hell where their <a href="http://www.mmoghell.com/pc_review/s/shadowbane_rise_of_chaos.html" target="_blank">review</a> handed out a score of 5.2/10. Here's a clip:<blockquote><em>Or should the topic just be “Shadowbane”? Because this first expansion to the game does not really expand it. In Rise of Chaos you get the Nephilim, a new player race “with bat-like wings, horns and the ability to mask their infernal nature”. In reality this means you get another race that can fly, which is not new to Shadowbane. And it also can transform into human appearance, which seemed to be pretty useless to me. And you get graphical enhancements that “include new environmental effects, which will add to the overall ambiance”. In reality this means you get for example snow, which adds to the overall ambiance while it is snowing, but ruins it all again while it stops and starts. Like the Day/Night cycles in Shadowbane, snow abruptly starts and stops. I wasn’t able, at any point, to immerse myself in the world of Shadowbane at all. Running along a quadratic river that has plain blue non-reflective, non-transparent water and having snow suddenly appear out of the nowhere just doesn’t work for me, sorry.</em></blockquote>
