All Dark Age of Camelot Content

Final Score: 4/5

Dark Age of Camelot does a lot right. Its interface, graphics, and presentation are easy to see as building blocks in the most modern MMO. But this game itself, released in 2001 is aging fast. The graphics and animations, despite upgrades over the years are sub-par. They had some very nice polishing touches though, things that are just ignored in other games. I was impressed with the opening movie. It was well-executed, and the narration was compelling and appropriate.

Final Score: 3/5

Dark Age of Camelot is beginning to show it's age. While some features certainly were somewhat avant garde in it's heyday, these features have since become staples of the MMO market. My immediate impression is that the graphics have been upgraded at least once in the game's history, the animations however, have not, and thusly suffer greatly for it. I find though that I am often too picky when it comes to animations, so perhaps my perspective is tainted.
