While it didn't start out great this game has made significant headway.
In the past two years the game has been handed off to another publisher, Perfect World Entertainment, and changed hands between three game leads four times, and has had roughly two to three relaunches in an effort to prove the game was worthy of playing. While the game still has a ways to go; it still is pushing forward to be of such worth, asking the people to give it another chance.
Is it worth a second or third chance? While everyone's opinion may very I believe so. Many bugs have been squashed, introduction to Special task force missions and the coveted raid gear (M.A.C.O and Omega Force sets) and more on the way, new ships, revamped ground combat system, power tweaks, DX11 in beta, and more including the testing of fleet Star bases at the time of this review.
This game is worth playing if you want a good time with friends. I would advise hard core M.M.O players to keep away or keep an eye on this one until it reaches a level that they would appreciate playing at.
