This is such a good game. I cannot wait for the second one.

A solid, working version of a classic game. While not much has been done to it graphically (despite the name), the graphics and mechanics hold up very well to make the game and enjoyable play to this day. bought and began playing out of a spurt of nostalgia, kept doing so when it became apparent that this classic RTS deserves to be labeled as a powerhouse with the likes of Starcraft 2.

tl;dr - Game is super hard, even more rewarding and enjoyable.

My Thoughts:
Many RPGs claim that they allow players to play how they want and make the game a "truey unique" experience, EVE Online is the first that I have played to actually deliver this idea. Over the course of the game's history, players have made fortunes and lost much more playing roles that are not strictly defined by the game itself yet nonetheless valid. Large scale warfare has taken place between enormous, player-created corporations (which might as well be nation states) providing an experience that drowns you not only in combat but intergalactic politics as well. There is no correct way to play EVE Online, as EVE Online at its core simply provides you, the player, with setting and tools needed to create your own, everchanging, actually unique experience. Should players stick around long enough to overcome the steep learning curve, there is an addiction to be found in this game that allows you to win and lose everything.

What I don't Like:
-It is unfortunate that such a marvelous game would have such an unintuitive user interface. Even one of the more simple features, the camera, controls in such a manner that it can be called clumsy at best.
-While the developers are working to improve a new player's first experience, the tutorials meant to teach you the basics do little to cover basic menus and features that need to be understood in order to play the game in any reasonable manner.

Don't know why I haven't reviewed this yet. Great game, get it. My bag throwing skills have increased 10 fold, at least, thanks to the game.
