The learning curve may be high but those people who keep at it for awhile will find warband to be one of the most intense and rewarding multiplayer game for some time. This is the only game I've played where real time close combat is done right. Warband multiplayer is a bit unlike anything I've tried before. Where this game really shines is in multiplayer. Wtih that said the gameplay is basically the same as the original and the dialogue still feels like I'm talking to a sack full of rocks trying to fit into human society. Better graphics, more intuitive interface, a new overhead map,some new castles and a few more things to do such as marry or start a buisness. Where this Warband brings some interesting new concepts to Mount and Blade. Warband brings some interesting new concepts to Mount and Blade.
