Nice review. It's great to hear someone talk about the game who's had previous experience with RO, and isn't so wound up and conditioned to the standard FPS's out there that focus more on run and gun tactics.
The talk about the sound just impresses me more, as I always relied heavily on my ears in FPS's. The best sound setup I ever came across so far was from Half-Life 1 / Team Fortress Classic / Day of Defeat. While most never bothered listening much in game, my spidy senses were always perked to listten for every shot, every voice, every single footstep. I could always tell where someone was, where they're going and when they were about to round a corner. And when I heard someone nearby, I went silent & moved slowly. So many people claimed I was wall hacking or cheating. I just told them that if they listened and stopped blabbing on their mic, they'd see how I did it.
To this day I have not yet found a game that matched such sound accuracy, including in RO, but I have high hopes now. I could tell the direction of a sound in past RO's, but the distance and accuracy just never seemed right to me.
I imagine the music will be great, but I doubt I'll have it on during playing. I prefer all my senses to be at their fullest.
