Editor's review of WarRock
WarRock is a frenetic first-person shooter MMORPG (massively multiplayer online

view larger

role-playing game). You can play one of five soldiers: engineer, assault, sniper, heavy artillery, or medic (the only female). You must choose an environment before a character. There are about a dozen landscapes, and they are applied to close combat, urban ops and battle group scenarios; the last one allowing you to drive everything from motorcycles to tanks to helicopters. Without a doubt, this game should appeal to those into modern military strategy and fighting.

WarRock's Web site, where you need to register before playing, is easy to navigate and mandatory to look at so you can understand how to play. No patches and a smooth setup make for a pleasant installation experience. Unfortunately, there have been numerous user complaints that if you don't live on a continent that has one of WarRock's servers, then it won't let you connect.

It's hard to understate how quickly things happen in this game; changing your POV is difficult, so it's easy to get shot in the back. All the battles feature two teams, and you're randomly assigned when you join the game in progress. There aren't cheaters, as you might find in other MMORPGs, but there are very testy game-players who aren't shy about voting you out if you're slowing down their team's inexorable march to victory.
