The GameDaily One-Minute Review

EverQuest II: Rise of Kunark packs everything into a single box. This stand-alone expansion includes the core game, three adventure packs and all the expansions, making it the most comprehensive EQII package around. Everything from the continent of Kunark, where the fearsome Iksar originate from, to the new playable dragon-like race called the Samak (featured in the original EverQuest as monsters) strike a cord of familiarity with long-time players. However, with its wide spread of content designed for characters of all levels and a new starting area, Rise of Kunark is clearly meant to attract a new set of EverQuest II players. Fresh players can dive in and play any race without restrictions, or start with the Samak without fear of being overwhelmed or ignored by higher-level gamers. With all things taken into account, Rise of Kunark provides the most comprehensive EverQuest II experience and offers a great deal to both new and veteran players.
