Dungeons And Dragons Online: First DDO Review

The official site points out that the first review of Dungeons and Dragons Online: Stormreach is now available, courtesy of GameDaily. Here's the snippet:

D&D Online is both extremely creative and completely redundant at the same time. It is true that some is borrowed from its cousin MMOs, but D&D Online uses these borrowed elements in whole new ways. Present are the persistent world and instance concepts, but they are handled so uniquely. For example, the expansive city districts are very full, especially within the gathering places like taverns. However, once you accept a quest and head to its origin location, you'll enter the quest area. Here only you and any party members you might be journeying with can enter. Guild Wars and the City of Heroes universes each have this same feature, but D&D Online handles these in its own way.
