You will have a little bit of a cartoony touch but it is very subtle. Another quirk with the animation is transitions between them during combat and how in sync are they with the commands executed; they really need some work in that area though nothing that can put you off. So as you would expect, the game should perform reasonably well given the development time and age, in which mostly it does except that it requires quite a hefty amount of RAM, 2 GB is really the recommend minimum for a moderately smooth experience with the occasional hiccups when new areas are loaded especially when you pan the camera around a lot.

Both the sounds and music don't have anything really outstanding about them.The landscapes are varied generally and contain lots of interesting location and there is some reasonable use of vegetation. The animation is smooth though you will notice a reduction in animation frames for characters far away for the purpose of maintaining performance, though for a game being in development for three years, such a cut really is not necessary for today's hardware. They simply accompany the game's fantasy setting and are really all what you expect from a world which is about war between good and evil hacking and slashing at each other. Mythic have managed to make each race talk in an accent and voice that fits it very well, so goblins talk like goblins and elves talk like elves in almost the same way you find them in such a fantasy world.No matter how you will want to play it, WAR is really all about RvR and not getting involved in such events makes you miss the real point of it. It can't be the best MMO overall, but it beats the best one in many areas, especially when it comes to going against other players.
