Their rating (5.1/10) indicates that they have serious concerns about the game, as does their summary: Anarchy Online is both very ambitious and more complex than it first appears. The game seems designed to be a lot more than the first MMORPG set in a science fiction setting. The game's general design is well thought out. It does live up to its unofficial subtitle as the first of the second generation MMORPGs. Or rather, it will, if Funcom can get it all working. Ambitious, complex projects are always difficult to pull off. Right now, it's a good game that has issues. If they can continue to fix their problems, it could become a really incredible game. I am left with the impression that the Anarchy Online team wasn't fully prepared. The quality of the launch wasn't impressive, and the habit of breaking items and reintroducing old bugs with patches was unprofessional. Yet, this same team seems to be handling their problems in a professional manner. They have stated the launch did not go well, and openly admitted that the patch issues were inexcusable. They have fixed a lot or severe problems already, and they are still scrambling. Can they pull it off? Maybe. When I first met this game I hated it, but now I really like it. While I think the game would be suitable for casual players; I would urge caution until an accurate game play document appears somewhere. And despite a rating of teen, the game is about a war and quite a bit of adult content is present. Conservative parents of young teens may want to look closely at this game before letting their child play. For right now, if you like MMORPGs, science-fiction settings and can handle a game with the issues stated in this review, it is worth the ride.
