 Endless Unique Gameplay in a Tiny Package November 17, 2009
Yeormom (Atlanta, Georgia)
63 out of 63 found this review helpful
Summary:
---Having played this game for several months during the closed beta, I can only state that the game keeps getting better. At first impression, gameplay was already an amazing experience.
---The game consists of a matching system, where you are matched with other players to form a team. You each select a hero and are placed against another team of heroes to invade the enemy base while defending your own.
---By purchasing the collector pack, you are giving yourself a head start into the world of LoL. You will not regret the purchase and even if you do, the Riot staff has superior customer service and will complete your satisfaction.
Pros:
---The characters are very lively and fun to play. Each has their own fun attitude and great sound clips. While the graphics felt a bit childish at first and too bright, I've grown quite fond of them as they are quite personal. Animations are great.
---The gameplay is always changing, meaning each match always feels like a new game. The re-playability of the game is amazing, all things considered. You can make excellent come backs and really get great satisfaction from playing a match or two.
---The game rewards talented players with excellent tactics. There is little luck involved in the game and your skill can determine the success if your entire team. Each player has a key role in victory.
---No cost of entry. While you do not have to purchase the game to play, having the collectors pack aids in future development of the game while giving you a head start on hero selection. The 20 heroes included are very well balanced and give you tons of playing styles to choose from. There are 3 ranged DPS champions, 5 melee DPS champions, 2 support champions, 5 tank champions, and 5 mage champions.
---Friendly staff to assist problems. Quick response time with a fast resolution.
Cons:
---The launcher leaves a lot to be desired. You will be forced to install Adobe Air in order to use the launcher and thus play the game. The launcher contains more than half the bugs in the game due to performance and server sync issues. The friend tracker is built into this launcher and needs quite a bit of polish.
---Game matching is hit and miss. When selecting the solo gameplay where you are matched to 4 other allies, you are often matched against a full arranged team of players which have a strong upperhand. These games are often not enjoyable due to the landslide which occurs.
Game Contents:
---Access to the Beta (No Longer Applies)
---$10 of Riot Points for use in the store
---4 Summoner Runes
Greater Mark of Malice (Improves your critical chance)
Greater Seal of Vitality (Increases your health per level )

I've been beta testing League Of Legends since early July of 2009. What can I say, I loved Defense of the Ancients (WC3 Custom Map), and I had to see how well this game related. It really is a beautiful game, the graphics will please you regardless of what system you run (as long as you meet required specs). Best way to categorize this game? Session based RTS/RPG hero team fights and continual summoner progession.
This is a fast paced game that will always keep you on your toes. The summoner progression and character progression will literally keep you striving to better yourself for as long as you see fit. You could literally play this game for 5 years, and not get bored. For example, I played DOTA since the Reign of Chaos DOTA maps came out, and continued to play the game for about 6 years. I replaced DOTA with League of Legends, and I do not regret my decision one bit. This game is so good, I even got my wife to play it! She never plays computer games, and she loves LoL (best acronym ever for a game?).
Another thing that puts this game "leagues" above other free games, Riot Games will not SELL gamers advantages over others! I love this, I've played too many games where you can simple buy your "power" or items, and stomp on players who do not have the money to compete. The only thing Riot Games sells in alternate character skins and other things that don't really give other players unequal advantage.
I encourage everyone to try this game for free, and if you really like it, please, PLEASE, support the developers and buy the game guys, they're doing really great things, and come on, they built the engine from scratch! Hook 'em up!
Don't buy this game if you have a life. March 9, 2010

This game has basically taken over my life. LoL is my WoW. It offers 43, as of this writing, champions with which you play. If you have played DotA or HoN, you will love this game even more because it gets rid of the negatives from those two. The Riot staff is excellent, too. They actually listen to what players want to see. I can say they do have their hands full, though. The game skyrocketed to over one million users in a little over three months. So it does have it's bugs and unexpected server shutdowns, but if you can get past the couple of flaws, you'll find an excellent game I would easily recommend to anyone.

I really liked this because it came with not only 10$ in riot points but a code that gives you a good amount of characters, skins and runes. Great way to start in this game, also came with a nice posdter and the manual had a translation for the games lingo, definitely worth the price for this
Perfect PVP RPG April 1, 2010
Benjamin Jackson (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada)
this game is a perfect 5 out of 5.
The game is an RPG that is fast paced player vs player action. why would you want to play this game? Well do you like MMORPGs but find the grind boring, do you like PvP games, do you like fun? if you answered yes then this the game for you.
matches are 3v3 or 5v5 in ranked matches. games take about 30-45 min per match.
there are lots of people to choice from. i think 40+ at this time.
why buy the game if you can play for free? well you get 20 guys plus a $10 game card. plus the game is so good how could you not want to suport it
