I've been following this game until launch and these are my first thoughts.

Whether you'll like this game or not is really a glass half full glass half empty choice. You could look at the positives like the ambition of a MMO on consoles, the "Cant Believe its Not Butter" smooth quest grouping system and the pure joy of completing an Arkfall. There are some aspects that leave varied players skeptical like the disconnections due to server overpopulation and the some what bland side quests. I've played decently deep into the story and so far have been pretty pleased with what Trion has done with this game. It's a generally easy game to pick up if you've played any shooter before and there are only miner flukes with the combat, again something that is not hard to look past. The graphics are pretty impressive for the scale of the game and how much they try to bring to the table. The server issues will be resolved after the initial rush of players is handled by Trion. This game is definitely a great addition to my library and I would recommend it to any fan of MMO's have been waiting for one to come to X-Box or PS3.
