Game Over has a review of Earth & Beyond Westwood's space MMORPG. Their rating is 89%. Here's what they offer as their conclusion:
I’ve played just about every MMORPG that’s on the market today and even some that aren’t. Earth & Beyond offers a brand new flavor to the MMORPG universe that is both unique and well received. E&B had a very smooth launch, which is rare when it comes to MMORPGs since they’re usually plagued by server crashes, etc. One of the problems Earth & Beyond did have when it launched was the developers didn’t anticipate players reaching the levels of 80+ so quickly. When players found themselves at the higher levels, they also found themselves lacking any sort of high-level content. This dilemma was rectified in a later patch that added plenty of missions, quests, etc. for high-level players.
The other issue I have with Earth & Beyond is the customer support. When the game was launched and as of the publishing of this article, the game masters were given absolutely no power other than breaking up disturbances and “unsticking” players. How a player got stuck I do not know. As far as solving real problems like the fact that my missile quest is still broken, thus not letting me use missiles, they are completely helpless.
Earth & Beyond is definitely a worthy title for veteran MMORPG players as well as those new players that have been waiting for something groundbreaking to show up. | Source: Bluesnews |
