Lineage II Reviews

Despite the fact that the whole purpose of the game is to sock it to your fellow players, Lineage II is accomplishing something that other MMOGs have been trying to do for years, it gets the players to actually work together. To me, that fact is pretty huge. If NCSoft can successfully market this title to the players most likely to be interested in the relatively unique experience offered by their game, they may have a reasonable success on their hands despite its many imperfections.
If the bugs can be fixed, the low level game fleshed out, and the rampant eBaying and griefing brought to heel, Lineage II might end up being one of the top MMOGs on the market. It's not there yet, but I'm willing to give NCSoft and developer a chance to make good on their ambitions and see what they deliver a few more months down the road.
And the second is at Gamehelper with an overall score of 8.5/10:
I can't remember how many times thus far I would check what time it was, only to forget immediately and lose another few hours of my life. Not only do MMORPGs get into your blood, I can say with a smile that it owns my soul, and it'll own yours soon if you have any interest in fantasy or roleplaying (even a roommate of mine has caught the bug). If player vs. player is what you look for in an RPG, then Lineage II will fulfill your desire wonderfully, especially if you start to get the jitters from being away for too long.
