Great ideas and mix of game elements but is unbalanced and has a rude/unforgiving player community.
Now the melee combat mechanics are very tricky/unbalanced. For instance a large beast monster can initiate a melee attack on a blocking human and then leap behind the human while landing the attack, effectively bypassing the block. There are no melee tricks for the humans, save their ability to block, and this is countered by the beasts HUGE maneuverability advantage. In certain circumstances Beasts have unlimited stamina or running/leaping energy given with certain artifacts, which provides a giant advantage against the slower humans on the often HUGE maps that require logistic strategy. Also the beasts have one building the humans do not, a gateway for instant travel from one point of a map to the other...
In-game the players are quite often hostile and rude, blerting comments like "stupid noobs" and such, so anything you would ask questions to know you would most likely have to visit a forum. Players and admins sometimes carry offensive names which their is no guard for. On exception you will find someone willing to help you but with all the text clutter and spamming good luck reading it without using the console.
Graphics are nothing spectacular but not disappointing, sound effects nicely go with everything and the built-in voice commands are extremely useful. Some graphics are funky though, like sun glare which shines through mountains and the ground!
Overall the game IS fun, but is made not fun by some of the other players adolescent behavior, some gameplay mechanics, and some players absolute mastery of the combat to the point were you suspect their is cheating going on.
