The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a massively multiplayer online game that's a little different, then you'll want to try this. The unique blend of Arthurian legends and Norse myth makes for an interesting story.

Pros

  • Massively multiplayer online role-playing game.
  • Expands with more islands, races, & classes
  • New graphics-engine with wonderful textures.

Cons

  • Minimum requirements greater than DAoC
  • Subscription fee required to play

Description

  • Massively multiplayer online role-playing game that requires a subscription fee to play.
  • Shrouded Isle is an expansion pack, but it also upgrades the graphics engine.
  • New graphics engine means larger minimum requirements, more so than DAoC, buyers beware.

Guide Review - Dark Age of Camelot: Shrouded Isles

Dark Age of Camelot Shrouded Isles expansion expands on the original full version in a way that's different from most PC games. The upgrade of graphics engine is a huge plus and the new effects and textures are excellent. The downside to this however is the added memory hog that the game becomes. If you barely meet the requirements for the original DAoC, you won't meet these requirements. As for in game features the expansion is like most other expansions. New races, classes and maps add to the huge expanse and feel of the game, oh and another thing you're still playing with and against real people! Overall the upgrade in graphics and sound is to me worth the price alone.
