Greg Atkinson of GameDaily has put together one of the first reviews of Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach, and it's overwhelmingly positive. He gives kudos for the game's technical achievement, artistic style, and even the handling of real-time combat. Newbies to the MMO genre will be particularly pleased to find an abundance of useful guides and hints, as well as demonstration videos for each character class.
Greg's detailed analysis results in a 4.5 out of 5, but he doesn't really discuss what the half point deduction is for. If you're looking for second opinions from the gaming press, stay tuned for a Metareview of DDO.
