Lineage: The Blood Pledge Critic Reviews

The game feeds off the collective energies of hordes of competitive gamers and supplies a solid framework for clan competition. It is a game for those of us that enjoy hard won victories and difficult defeats.

Masterfully simple, overwhelmingly addictive.

It's also, inexplicably, the most popular online role-playing game in the world...It looks old, it plays poorly, and its opening levels are so frustrating that there's a good chance you'll never make it to the interesting stuff.

And really, Lineage isn’t much fun.

If you have been wondering why so many South Koreans are so excited about this game...well, you'll still be wondering after you play it.
