Truth is, If you're looking for a NEW experience and not the same MMO's that are already out, look elsewhere.

User Rating: 6 | Rift (2011) PC
The game is neither good nor bad, it's mechanics and system is very nice, however you can't help but feel like you've played this before and here are the reasons why.

First of all nothings changed from other mmo's who are already ahead and have more content, just the fact that rifts are nice, doesn't make it all new.
It's everything from other games compiled together.

Sure it's bad to Compare with World of Warcraft per say, however this old dusty MMO formula is just too old and dry. If they had something more dynamic and new it wouldn't of bored me in less then 5 hours. They should of gone with an original battle system, and this game would of been a success.

If you like the old formula of hit, miss choose skill rinse and repeat then this is the game for you. If you want something more dynamic then look elsewhere.

Truth is, this game isn't worth paying a monthly fee for, nothing exclusive or special.

Graphics are nice, however it doesn't have any wow factor. You might as well spam the same skill over and over because you won't get skills with flashy different animations, it's all the same.

Game play 4/10
Sound 6/10
Originality 2/10
