Fun for some...
As for story, RFO delivers the promise of a vast story of three factions pitting against each other in skirmishes for a planet's resources.... But you can't really -feel- like you're involved in the gameplay until you've played the game for a -long- time.
5/10
For gameplay, RFO promises epic battles that happen about once every 5-8 hours, known as the Chip Wars. In these you must fight the two other factions to their chip holder (a large structure that holds the 'Chip'), which is often enjoyable for high level players. However, for newbies, all they can really do is spectate, because they cannot do damage to -anything-, and they are often a target for the more uber players, who think that killing newbies is fun. The only real way to participate in the Chip Wars is to reach level 30, which is over half of the level cap (50). Now, this wouldn't be a problem, but this game is the mix between a PVP arena, and one of the longest grinds I have ever been involved in in my life. More than often, you will have more missions than you can complete. A mission is granted every couple of levels, but you need to level up about 3-4 times before you can actually complete the mission. And this could be overlooked... If there was a roleplay community... However, there is absolutely no roleplay on RFO at all.
Gameplay 2/10
I can't really complain about the sound... It isn't bad... But it isn't anything phenominal... What else is there to say?
sound 7/10
The graphics are beautiful, and the characters feel real, and with personality... Well... Almost...
Graphics 7/10
As for value, I'd have to give this game a thumbs down... It's just too much work and not enough reward.
Full score: 4.5/10
