    Offers an interesting combination of an established universe with a different game genre.
  2. The ability to develop individual units, in addition to a central lord, makes the game an attractive offering for those seeking compensation for their gameplay efforts.
  3. A decent game in its own right and it should temporarily satisfy two groups: EQ junkies who just can’t get enough, and Warcraft junkies who’ve already played the hell out of "The Frozen Throne."
  4. With multiplayer significantly less user-friendly than in other titles and a lame single-player mode, LoE falls well short of the genre's top dogs. [Feb 2004, p.111]

    More than a Warcraft knock-off. A real treat and a new look at the way RTS's will be played.
