Shadowlands Reviews Roundup
"Cheat Code Central Platinum. This expansion pack adds new races, a new story, new missions and side quests, new weapons and armor, Perks and a totally overhauled engine with graphics that have to be seen to be believed... So incredible are the environments that even the wastelands look fantastic." [Score 90%] - Cheat Code Central

"As MMOG expansions go, Shadowlands is one of the most impressive we've seen (...) this expansion leaves AO in great shape for the foreseeable future" [Essential!] - PC Zone (Print magazine)

"Upon portaling into Jobe (Jobe "Research" is a city that is built on the fringes of the Shadowlands, with portals to Rubi-ka within the city), all I have to say is Wow! The overall look of the place is just incredible. Most impressive is the sky terrain - lots of things going on including what looks like a "Black Hole" that periodically will swallow things, and two suns that actually revolve around each other. Now remember the system specs that I am running the game on, and I have none of the in-game graphics options cranked to full, and it still looked stunning. Awesome!" [Score 9/10] - Warcry

"A wonderful aspect of Anarchy Online is that it boasts a speedy and helpful customer service system that most other MMORPGs lack. With all of the new content and featured brought with Shadowlands, one might go as far as calling it a totally different game. This expansion has outstanding potential, and will give its competition something to worry about." [Score 8,7/10] - RPG Warehouse

"Shadowlands not only meets its rivals head on in terms of content for players of all levels, but in many ways saunters past them without breaking sweat. There is just so much to see and do that even the most established players will still be making discoveries for months to come." [Score 8,8/10] - IGN

"Ingenious is the first word that comes to you when you think about Shadowlands. The Add-On includes such a mass of new items, features and fun that it could almost be a game by itself. With the dungeons, factions perks and new professions, funcom has given the players enough to discover to spend the whole next year in the shadowworld. For long-time fans of Anarchy Online, the increase of the maximum level to 220 should be a big incentive." [Score 8,8/10] - Gamigo

"If you're one of those people who don't do MMPOG's I would suggest getting this one and trying it out. If you're also one of those people that are on the fence about which MMPOG to get, well...., look no further." [Score 9/10] - ToTheGame
