User Rating: 1.8 | PlanetSide PC
After playing this game I was extremely dissappointed. This game brings nothing new to the FPS other than the fact that you can have over 2000 people on a server at one time. Does this mean you will actually see all 2000 people at once?...Not from what I see. The battles revolve around caputuring bases and you may have 100 people or so at once defending/attacking. The bases all look alike as do the character models. The gameplay is severely lacking in that you have the same objective to just capture bases over and over and over for little, if any, decent rewards at all. The exp system is not really that exciting due to the very few things you can actually specialize in that are worthwhile/fun. The vehicle physics are anything but subpar and the "cone of fire" system of shooting is basically just a spray and pray type of fighting with very little actual gaming "skill" needed. Planetside brings nothing new or revolutionary to the FPS front, and to have to shell out $50 bones up front and $13 a month is a little steep for the same kind of action you can have on countless other "free" FPS that are already out and have been out for awhile. For the monthly cost and the lack of good content and gamplay I would advise steering clear of this one.
