League of Legends Review
_____________________

From the same team who brought you Defence Of The Ancients, one of the best known and loved Warcraft 3 mods, comes their new title League Of Legends.

League Of Legends gives each player control of a champion unit within a team based battle in the attempt to destroy each others base and it combines real time strategy elements with role playing facets such as leveling up abilities and equipment choices.

IMO this review could have used a better introduction. It would have been nice if it said that this is an online only game that's free to play with options to buy extra content (and possibly describe these). Then a general description of the game. Only then the opinions.

I looked at the Machinarium review, another review by John Erikson, and though there he starts off with some discussion of some recent movies the game reminded him of, at least he drops back to what the game is and what you do in it.

In this League of Legends review there's a short paragraph up front describing the game, but it wasn't enough for me to understand what it was about. It's possible to infer that the game is multiplayer-only, but it's not stated, and everything about the state of the game and the costs involved was only hinted by the opinions near the end of the review. I had to go to the game's site, read some of it, and only then did the review make more sense.

It's nowhere as good Heroes of Newerth imo, but then again we will probably bet getter DotA like mods once SC 2 comes out.
