Summary: I've read some of these reviews
Review: The graphics aren't so hot, the game is fairly boring. I have to question the people writing these reviews. I got a totally different impression playing the beta.

Summary: This game is a must have
Review: Am beta testing this game and it simply rocks. It has better graphics than EQ, SWG, EQ2.
It has more advanced tradeskills than EQ, SWG, EQ2.
It is both solo casual gamer friendly as well as having group and community goals and challenges.
If you don't like PVP and griefers, this game is for you since there is none.
So much to do, so many things to own including houses and property and the ability to build towns. Don't miss out on playing this game from first day of launch.

Summary: New ideas - great Dev team - super game!
Review: There are some very good new ideas going into this game, as well as some beautiful graphics and some of the best sound in an mmorpg ever. I'd highly recommend giving it a try!

Summary: Dragons at last!
Review: I've watched how EQ developed, even bought it at one point though never played it, only almost. Why? Because it lacked the key elements I've long wanted in an MMORPG. With Horizons, you can finally choose a race based on appearance rather than abilities or classes you can select. That's right, no class restriction-based character creation. Top that with being able to go from a mason to a blacksmith to a warrior to a wizard to a healer to a scout and anything inbetween or anything else that suits your fancy. You can do that by joining different schools rather than your character being stuck as a particular class from the start. Don't like fighting? Kick back in town as a craftsman, smith, enchanter, builder. Want nothing more than to beat ...everything evil? Grab a sword and leap out into the wilderness to seek your objects of aggression therapy. They also have a general count for the number of combinations of the various parts that just swords can be made in. Let me explain first though by saying you have various parts to every sword. Blade, hilt, designs on them, tassels on the hilt, effects on the blade, sockets on the blade for extra goodies you can change when needed, among some other things. Now, keep in mind that there is say 15 blade styles, 5 hilts, 5 tassels, 20 socket items, etc. The base number of variations is over 3 million. That doesn't even account for what they are certain to add later as the game progresses. Think of that...over 3 million different swords. SWORDS! That doesn't even touch ANYTHING else from other weapons to all kinds of armor to buildings to all the other gear you may want to have. Needless to say, this will surpass anything I've heard of before, both what's already out and what is still as-of-yet unreleased. Now, how bout them Dragons, hmm? !!!^_^!!! One MAJOR plus to me, that it is! They haven't shared entirely that much yet, but the detail on the Dragon PCs is amazing enough. They will also be a somewhat alien character in the style you play with, considering just the body shape difference from a standard humanoid character. They will have breath weapons, neat plus of course. Even bigger, they will be able to fly once you advance enough. No separate mode of transport, just a natural ability to fly. I won't even go into the fact that you'll be able to build that stereotypical horde with items for greater power as a Dragon. Oh, and when you make a Dragon, you can customize the colors in very fine detail. You could almost say you can customize your colors down to each scale, but even the most meticulous would find that a bit excessive. It even shows you what your Dragon will look like in later stages of maturity and advancement (when you get bigger, to say it simply) so you won't make a really great looking hatchling that looks, well, stupid as an ancient. I am *SO* getting this game!

Summary: THIS COULD EASILY BE THE GREATEST MMORPG YET!
Review: This game has just about everything all the MMORPG of the past does (housing, guilds, cool quest, spells and items) and so much more! It has a slick school system, that allows you to do everything from be the strongest paladin ever to owning your own store or being a politician plus this game lets you PLAY AS FLYING DRAGONS!!! It also has a great cinematic battle system, a multiple layer character engine with millions of customization options, a cool living vs. the undead story it's even being designed for cell phone support! So this Fall, don't fall for the hype of those pretty Sony Station games with little to no innovation namely games like Everquest 2, get the true next gen MMORPG, Horizons!!! The company behind this gem has been developing THIS GAME ALONE for FOUR YEARS!!!

Summary: very confusing and complicated account creation
Review: After you shell out a couple of dozen bucks on CD, you need to pay additional dozen bucks a month to keep online account. Horizons account creation is absolutely the worst I have ever experienced (and I played quite a few games online).
It requires patches that themselves require administrator privileges. After installation, launching the account gave me a puzzling message that the game is not installed. If you ever felt the worst features that Microsoft has - big, complex, buggy - that is the feeling that Horizons leaves.
Extremely disappointed..

Summary: Getting better
Review: I've played this game on and off for a while now, and I can say that it is getting better. Most of the issues past reviewers have complained about have been fixed, and content is being added each month. This game is now almost where it should have been at release:P. 1 more year in development would have been better than an early (very bugged) release, but it has been getting better.

Summary: An interesting way to waste your time
Review: Out of all the games out in 2003, I think I enjoyed this one the best. The graphics were pleasing, there was plenty of content, and a great community feeling. While the xp grind was there (get used to killing wolves...lots of wolves) it was masked by quests, community, and a good crafting set up. On top of that was the slightly unusual role play for dragon toons, who aged and developed over time until they gained the power of flight.

Summary: Game now in Chapter 11
Review: This game has done so poorly that it is now in Chapter 11, and will likely be closed within days.
Court documents showed that the company had not paid it's server or landlord in *months*!
This has truely been the worst game in internet history, and gamers voted with their wallets.
The only way that this game could get a five star rating is if the staff of the game was going around and giving good rating to save their jobs. *snicker*
