I'v noticed a lot of people were playing the game yesterday on ps3 so i had to ask a couple of people about it and seems like everyone are enjoying it and how it looks better than the beta, the game sure look good, i'll hopfully get my hands on it by next month, pretty sure GS will give it a score between 8.5-9.0

WoW did get reviewed in 1 day so it should take reviewers about a week to release a review

Our Rating for M.A.G

8.0Story
Join your squad and fight for World Domination.

9.0Lastability
Loads of game types and plenty to play for.

9.5Playability
Once you get used to the controls its great fun.

9.5Originality
256 players online at once and it works.

8.5Graphics
Looks fantastic though could have done with slightly more detail.

9.0Sound
The sound is perfect, it sounds like you are in the middle of a war zone.

9.0Overall
Creating M.A.G was certainly a risk on Sony's part, however credit where its due because this game is an instant ****c and worthy of a
place in everyone's Playstation 3.


OK first, isnt this an online only game? How the heck did the story get 8.0? Secondly, originality?................REALLY?? :|

Oh I know, I'm not trying to say anything negative about you posting the review. I'm just saying I'll rather keep my hype low until I start seeing review scores like that from known sources.

Maybe the overall score is an average and the author didn't want to mark the game down for being what it is, an online-only game. I don't know about MAG, but anyone who marked down games like TF2 for not having a story would be a laughingstock of the day.

As for originality... All that means is that he's never played anything quite like it.

very true but a few posters here who have the game seem to like it alot, so its not too farfetched to think this review is a decent one..either way im dead broke right now and still have mass effect to buy before I even think about getting MAG

I guessed at it getting a 8.5 before any reviews were done. 9/10 is a very good score.

You're getting a lot of crap because the other day a guy made a thread about MAG and how reviews in the next 24 hours aren't gonna be credible.

MAG does have a story surprisingly enough, and its fully influenced by your faction and everybody's actions which is cool. I guess the innovation part might come from FRAGos and the leadership type stuff, though I probably wouldn't give it higher than an 8.5 simply because its so darn similar to Cal of Duty and Battlefield gameplay wise.

Damn. From what I'm hearing, this game's pretty good and shouldn't be judged based on the beta. I was hoping the game would be a stinker so I wouldn't feel so bad about not owning a PS3. Ah well, there's always BC2 to look forward to... more than a month from now.

which is the same for most of the Xbox fanboys who have been bashing the game since sony announced it...but they would never admit it (not calling you a fanboy btw)

I predict a 6.5 - 7.5 here at GS. Terrible graphics and dated gameplay mechanics. Great concept though.

I'm gonna say at MAX an 8.5. Not probable but given the good feedback i've been hearing, its possible. I think GS is gonna go 8.0

lecture time! mag is a hell of a lot more original than anything released in 2009 short of demon's souls. it's an online only non mmorpg game with good controls, lots of customization, and a persistant storyline. throughout the beta the voice actor telling you how you were doing in each game mode, or market, changed their stories to suit who was currently winning. the winning and losing of teams in the game gives the factions advantages, the factions are very unique, and there's an ongoing story that's being developed by everybody who plays. they've also said they'll later be adding new maps to be defended by factions that are winning, which the other two can attack. personally i love the game...

Well according to the other thread, we shouldn't trust a review of MAG until atleast 48 hours since all reviews coming now is useless and fake. Sorry cows, this was probably the only chance MAG had at getting AAA :P

i say 8.0 here on GS. if lucky 8.5... i was watching the 30 min thing on gb.. the graphics are to me borderline 8.. if i'm picky considering the animations weren't stellar. The gameplay looks amusing.. but I'm not sure.. I'll just wait for reviews.. alhtough don't think i'd shell out 65$ for this game .. rather wait for BC2 or something
