Advantages: Nice change from normal FPS games, fun magic and abilites

Disadvantages: Community reliant when folk stop playing there will be no-one to fight.

This is a great little online game. It is essentially online only unless you want to practice doing bot matches or do training missions. The community has improved greatly since release, while the numbers are not as high the quality of gamer has improved (hurrah).

The thing I really enjoy about this game is it is not just a standard shooter. You can grab a Katana and start cutting into folk (if you can get near them), use magic to summon minions, teleport and heal as well as gadgets to help you glide or target enemies. Also strange as it seems its nice to take on a proper fantasy view with the ability to go some nice big dirty trolls, typically irritating elves, metal dorfs and the standard humans each with their own abilites advantages and disadvantages.

All in all if you like playing against others this could be for you however if you like nothing more than sitting working your way through levels and bossfights this isn't for you.

Summary: Well worth a shot especially since it is pretty cheap everywhere.
