The World of Lineage II
The world of Lineage II is a war-torn land spanning two continents, where trust and betrayal clash as three kingdoms vie for power. The young king Raoul has successfully quenched a civil war and established the newest kingdom, Aden. Elmore, the military superpower located in the northern part of the continent, boasts that it is a direct descendent of ancient Elmoreden kingdom. Gracia, located across the ocean on the west, is currently embroiled in a chaotic battle among blood relatives trying to take over the throne. These kingdoms share a delicate balance of power; however, within each kingdom they are vulnerable to internal strife, as each manor has strong desire for self-rule.

You have been thrown into this chaos. However, unlike the ordinary people who pray each day for safety, you have the power to protect yourself. In Lineage II, developing a character is not an end in itself. Rather, it is your instrument to obtain the power to enforce your will in this world. Seize your destiny! Your own hand will write the history of this world.

Combat System
In Lineage II, what you see on the screen is in real time. Therefore, it is critical to make an appropriate decision quickly for every situation you get in. Lineage II pursues both strategic features and action-oriented features by offering client-server synchronization and production of a client's battle at the same time.

You will battle monsters with superior AI, use skills that need to be selected according to each particular situation, overcome situations through teamwork with other clan members, and experience action that is always thrilling, even when you kill a single monster.

Lineage II--The Epic Collection comes on DVD and includes:

• Chronicle 1: Harbingers of War
• Chronicle 2: Age of Splendor
• Chronicle 3: Rise of Darkness
• Chronicle 4: Scions of Destiny
• Chronicle 5: Oath of Blood

This review is from: Lineage II: The Epic Collection (CD-ROM)

Lineage II is a beautiful and engrossing game. It's been vastly under rated in the media, but is in fact one of the most popular online games in the world, ranking only 2nd to World of Warcraft. Lineage II's community is a bit more grown up and extremely loyal and friendly.

What drew me to the game was the wonderful art style and the more I explored the better the environment and character graphics became. Gameplay is very solid, though at a slower pace compared to other games in this genre, but it's hopelessly addictive.

This epic collection is not only cheaper than the original Lineage II, but comes with all of the expansion packs that normally must be downloaded, plus 45 days of free play. Also, expansions come about twice a year, changing the look and feel of the game and are entirely free.

If you like your MMORPGs with huge, unbounded worlds (No invisible walls or load times), appealing asian-style design and solid, well-aged gameplay, I highly reccomend this game.

This game is one of the best mmrpg right now, with great graphics, nice sounds and beautiful views.
you cant even try to compare lineage2 with wow, just lets say that wow is for kids.
Lineage II quite literally puts the "multiplayer" back into the MMO genre. The title is built around universal player-versus-player combat that culminates in the major gameplay dynamic of seizing and holding one of the castles that dot the land. Is this a good or bad thing? It depends on your perspective. Players who are looking to just run around, do quests, kill monsters, and go on adventures by themselves or with a small group of friends are going to be dramatically disappointed. Put simply, it's almost impossible to go solo past the first few levels of the game, and the higher you go, the more people you need to be allied with in order to get anything out of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not for wussy warcraft players!, October 17, 2006

Warcraft's too easy! But Lineage2 offers challenge. Anyone can kill brainless monsters, but how do you stack up when it comes to defeating thinking opponents?

Use your personal charisma to pursuade people to join your clan (a "blood pledge"). Politics and diplomacy determine who will be friend and who will be foe. Lay seige to Castles in mass player-vs-player combat, for the leader that claims the throne gets to levy taxes against other players hunting in that territory. Then prepare to defend your prize against all contenders every 2 weeks!

Punish those who challenge your dominance by declaring war on enemy clans, or mete justice with your sword in retribution to those who support your enemies! Or kill people just because you think they're dirty cheaters!

The best game you never heard of!
