Title: Has potential, but is barely playable
Product review: The concept is great. Unfortunately, the reality is that the game client is big, slow, buggy, unstable, and the graphics are poor. I could live with the poor graphics, in fact I was expecting them, but the playability just isn't there. It takes forever to load, uses ridiculous amounts of RAM, and once you get in the game it's hard to tell friend from foe.Also I wonder if anyone beta tested this game. It seems like there are some pretty basic bugs that could have been fixed prior to release. For instance, if the install path for the game has a space in the name (like Program Files) you can only play offline. The fix is to uninstall and reinstall to a different path. Also the game hangs on launching under Windows 2000 unless you rename a particular folder so that it doesn't try to play the intro movie.After 6 more months of patches this game might be worth the money.
