User Rating: 9.3 | PlanetSide PC
After reading the reviews of this game, you might be a bit torn tward buying it. Well, let me clearify why this game might just be up your alley. If you've ever been part of a Clan, or other gamers group of like minded individuals, and you had good experiences in that group, your allready half way to loving PlanetSide. The other reason you might like PS is the fact that it is a first pearson shooter with combat in real time... no locking on target and queing up attacks and moves; most massive online games play in this fashion, and I for one find such games really boring. PlanetSide would apeal to most enthusiasts of first pearson shooters, but, only gamers that enjoy playing in a team are going to find indefinate replay value in this game. You may have read that this game is slow, or boring, the battles aren't so big, or whatever... these are the words of players that have not either known of, or, not taken the time to find a serious squad with a decent squad leader... they don't really know how to get the fun out of PlanetSide. Good leaders can tell where the action is, they listen to other players that sound off about large battles, and they target those locations accordingly always keeping you in the thick of it, having fun and gaining massive experience points. The number of good squads is growing, and hence the number of good outfits(another word for 'Clan')are growing as well. PlanetSide is great fun but, you're not going to really know that unless you give it a go. Just remember, its a "TEAM GAME", if you like to make friends and play awesome PC games with those people... your going to enjoy PlanetSide. I would like to make one note: PlanetSide requires a large amount of RAM to play. Recommended system requirements call for no less than 512mb... I started playing this game in Beta with 256mb... it played well in most areas, but 512 makes a HUGE and wonderful difference. Check the sys requirements and make sure you have at least 512mb.
