I was hesitant to download this game because someone said " I quit after two minutes, the gameplay is just not intuitive" . But I must tell you, after the 1.08 GB download(its in open beta right now) I have enjoyed playing this game alot!

It is a MMORPG with crafting/skills weapons and vehicles apartments and PVP(optional) , clan wars stuff like that. You initially start in a HUGE and intricate city. It will probably be days before you venture Out into the Hills. Theres a ton of different weapons, like flamethrowers and lasers, or you can opt to be a PSI person which is basically spells. Oh did i forget to mention Drugs and Implants?

The graphics are great, and yesterday they held a Vehicle test for us to watch(vehicles are not yet put in , it's still in beta!). Anyways it was pretty funny because there was a world announcement to everyone that they would be demonstrating vehicles in about 15 minutes in the outlands(really far from inner city). So you would see everyone scrambling to the subways and when we got there each car that past was filled for like the first 5 cars Me and the people i was following(i didnt know where i was going) finally got on one and went to the outlands to see the vehicles. Tanks, Motorccyle looking hover cars and more were there . Unfortunately I walked to far in a bad direction and got shot by someones turrets, but you dont have to recover your body, like in EQ. You can, or you can pay some money(based on your level) at a station to get your stuff back.

The map is huge also. After getting out of the city, I ran with a couple people (who i didnt know) in one direction for about 40 minutes. Then we came on some kind of camp and unfortunately they went to close because about 5 NPC's with machine gun type weapons killed them. I went around the camp and kept on going for probably another 20 minutes. Finally I thought the map was ended, there was a clip drop off, but I looked closer and could see more land away! Unfortunately that is when i slipped of the cliff and landed in a lake.

To sum it up, I think it's a great game. I think Star wars galaxies will be the best , but you can't get in to that beta yet. If you are itching to try the new breed of MMORPG and willing to download 1.08 GB then go for it! Besides alot of bugs(still in beta) its a great game.
