 Great in theory....., 2007-06-05
I read all of the hype about this game and believed it. The game play is terrible. Characters look terrible. Swimming backwards looks like swimming forward, but in the other direction, and you can't get your head above the water to take a breath, so outside of finding land your dead. Clipping needs ALOT of work, because if your not really close to anything, it just disappears, not fades out, disappears. Yes the game is vast and big, but there is nothing in it, you have to walk for miles to get to anything. The newb areas are rediculous, there aren't enough quests to get you through level 8. Now you have to go find mobs and grind a while, a long while. Did I mention the fact that the combat leaves much to be desired for what was supposed to be the NEXT GENERATION MMORPG. Save you money people this one is a bore.

 Great game, 2007-06-02
Vanguard is a great game. Yes, there are some bugs as it is relatively new. Yes, the population isn't what it will be and at times finding groups can be difficult. But I have noticed a steady increase in population and I am finding it now less difficult to group. Sony keeps releasing updates on a regular basis which is resolving bug issues. Aside from these 2 negatives, the positives in the game far outweigh them. Being able to build housing, level in crafting or diplomacy outside of the sphere of adventuring adds dimensions to the gameplay unseen elsewhere. The graphics are awesome! You will need a decent vid card and some system ram (I currently have 2GB) but these are trivial upgrades (which will enable you to play other great games in the process). Fun, this game is. It isn't for the impatient or those that want to play a game like WoW. It is a true MMORPG - don't forget the RPG part. It's not a cartoon nor does it try to be cheeky. If you want more of a challenge and want to immerse yourself in a fantasy world, Vanguard will take you there.
Vanguard MMORPG, 2007-06-01
The game aas a whole was okay. However there were many aspects of the game that just drove me crazy. Like how hard it is to target a mob. Little things like that that I know can be done better, since I have played MMORPG's for 10 years now. The thing that aggravated me the most was that about level 8 you are forced into playing with others. If you keep an odd schedule or are simply the kind that likes to grind out levels on your own then this is not the game for you.

Well-Conceived Game - Crafting Is Superb, 2007-05-24
First, this game is well-designed, fun and challenging. What makes the game interesting is that the World is huge and there is lots to do and the leveling process does not require as much grinding as other games of this type.
Second, the crafting part of this game is awesome. There are numerous challenges - called work orders - that require lots of patience to complete. The crafter must use different tools and must deal with complications - things that go wrong - by using tools or, for example, reducing the heat of the forge. This is the best crafting game around now by far.
Third, the diplomacy part of the game is challenging and can be lots of fun if you spend time to learn how to do it. It involves playing cards against the computer - and anticipating the computer's next move. The rewards are quests not available to everyone else.
Fourth, the game seems to have lots of players at least on the shards that I play on.
Fifth, some of these reviewers seem to be reviewing beta versions of the game - the game has changed quite a bit since it was released.

Warning - this game may not be around much longer, 2007-05-17
Fair warning, recently this game was purchased by Sony Online Entertainment and most of the original developers fired because of poor sales and low subscriptions. This game may be discontinued in the near future so keep that in mind if you are considering buying this product. Vanguard was a very hyped up game that turned out to be a sour lemon.
