Rating: - Winhammer
This game was everything I expected and more. You tired of waiting week after week for raids in WoW?... Tired of having nothing to do after you're geared out?.. Try this game. The pvp is great.

I was skeptical about buying collector's, but I'm a fan of the 40k series so I JUST HAD TO, ya know? The hardcover graphic novel is now sitting on my shelf of prized possesions.

Rating: - Great MMO
Yes, I've been a WoW junky, but Warhammer Online is sweet relief from the World of Warcraft grind. The graphics are great. However, gameplay does the graphics justice. I was new to the RvR experience, but have really enjoyed a new PvP experience with it. Being able to game XP through PvP'ing is a great concept.

Rating: - It's OK.... but its not WoW
As a WoW gamer since it was released, I was growing a little sick of the "samo samo" of WoW, so I thought I would give Warhammer a try. It's good. Not great. A lot of the concepts are repeated in Warhammer that are in WoW; kinda like reinventing the wheel. As stated in multiple reviews, includes a lot more PVP action/campaigns. Not a bad game, but not great. Also, lots of kinks still need to be worked out (technical issues). I am going back to WoW for my gaming fun.

Rating: - A quick review.
Note: My review is just about CE content.

Well, lets start with the books. All I have to say is beautiful. The content of the graphic novel was a great precursor, and pleasant to read while waiting for the game to download and update. The concept art was beautiful and well organized.

The figurine was a little bit of a disappointment, it came with the axe wielding arm fully broken off. Though, nothing a little superglue cant fix.

And I loved the head models. All very different, unique and distinctive. Though I would've rather the just have been in the character creator, or removable.

The in game quests are quick pleasant, and the titles (at least of the races Ive played)are great.

Rating: - get your RvR on
Tired of the 'pac-man' PVE game? Looking for a PvP/RvR game? This is it. Game starts with quests right in the middle of battle scene (rather than picking cactus apples). Research server you are on for max value. Level grind is much more fun than WoW, does not even feel a grind (maybe those last 3 levels to 40). Wolk? Another grind for 10 more levels? Rather have an elective colostomy. This game will need some polishing, but will be a diamond in the MMO ruff.

Played WoW since beta and will never go back.
