Dark Age of Camelot: Trials of Atlantis Critic Reviews

Mythic not only added some cool new visual upgrades with ToA, but also added a great looking and deep expansion that adds hours and hours of gameplay to one of the most addictive MMORPG’s to begin with. If you are a DAoC player ... go pick this up as soon as possible.

The sheer scope of the expansion is impressive as the development team desired to not only add new areas and items, but to change and update the way DAoC itself can be played.

The fixed nature of the Trials precludes major excitement once you've burned through them. But for the money, this pack offers a fun Atlantean holiday.

Nearly everthing looks better with the release of ToA, each faction has a new playable race, and there's a staggering number of things to do after level 40.

A solid addition to a fine MMORPG but the technology used in Dark Age of Camelot is really starting to show its age. The interface is clunky and upon closer inspection, characters do look a bit blocky.

Still, if you're a hardcore fan, you'll want it just for the neat interface tweaks, the one new race per realm and the slick look - provided you have a current-generation graphics card and the Shrouded Isles expansion pack.

A somewhat weird addition to the already weird Dark Age of Camelot.

A good expansion that's definitely worth picking up for the price if you feel that the original Dark Age of Camelot lands and loot have become stale and over visited. Easily recommendable for seasoned players.

The most striking aspect of the new environments is how skilled Mythic is at art direction.

If you spend most of your time doing RvR, there are no significant upgrades to the RvR system here and it's still unknown how much of an advantage the higher Master Levels bring to RvR.

At a high level and still playing? Grab it. At a low level or just thinking about playing? Skip it.

The Trials areras are colorful, imaginative, and cleverly designed with fantastic monsters and wonderful architecture.

The actual workings of the expansion are well done and interesting but much more work needs to be done in terms of providing balance across the whole world. The lack of other, long-expected features, like mounts is also aggravating.

Dark Age is easily one of the best massively multiplayer online RPGs available today, and Trials of Atlantis is a solid addition to the experience.
