This game requires the player to pay a monthly fee to the server. The game can only be played in multiplayer on the server. Unless you are willing to pay monthly; do not purchase this silly game...

Excellent Game

HA HA First comment. :) (Ok I had to do it once) As a beta tester for this game I have seen the barest of the potential that it holds. This is THE game that not a few of us have been waiting for. Elder23 (US)-=M=A=- Charon

This game really rocks...I've been a beta tester for 2 months only and now that the testing phase is over I find that I have too much time on my hands, i don't know what to do any more except wait for the game to come out in retail.

During those 2 months I've called my employer 3 times to tell him i was sick just so I could play, I've neglected my girlfriend and i'm supprised she hasn't left me yet.

For all those who haven't had the chance to test the game but still plan on buying it : "welcome to your new life"

Through sheer scope and magnitude 3DO has created one of the most impressive games to date. Every time you log in you are guaranteed a new experience as the combination of software upgrades, and player agendas ensure an ever changing environment. This game is not for the individuals who can not commit the time, and effort through the first several levels as initial game play is slow and frustrating. However as soon as you begin upgrading your personal resources, weapons, and financial resources this game really takes off. A must have for anyone who enjoys combat flight SIM's with political overtones.

Well actually

I give this game a fair rating. Though you can download the game for free at jossh.com, buying this game is pretty optional if you want the 30 day free instead of the 10 day free trial for this game.

Anyways, the problem with this game is that the graphics are way out dated and the developers refuses to up the sys specs to just make the graphics better, but the game play is excellent with its unique flight engine, especially when its challanging when it comes to hauling commodites. As for the playerbase for this game, sadly, theres not enough players for this game to go around so thats the reason I left jumpgate for a reason. Another reason is that the size of the universe is small. Plenty of useless ships in the game which are not PvP worthy. Plus, it would also take ungodly amount of your time to just practice PvP in the simulator. There is too much work, not enough play. It's like doing your 2nd chores. Dying in PvP is quite expensive as well. The only type of playerbase that is left are the hardcore players.

The learning curve for this game is kind of hard compared to the other space games using arcade flight engine.

If you are new to this game, and a fairly experienced pvper that wants to cause trouble only in the deregulated sectors or play a role as a pirate, I would recommend that you don't do it until this game gets a lot more players just because the whole player base would go after you.

The last I would like to say is that at least they improved the light fighters to make it go faster than fighter class(which is level 26).

I wish my luck to the developers to start putting this game into marketing soon.

One word - ADDICTIVE

I've beta tested JG for a full year. Seeing as the beta was so addictive, I can't even consider the amount of quality playing time I will sink into the retail version. So much fun to be had.

My one concern is that it is tough to see the fun when you first start out...it always is bad being a noob... but keep playing and become a part of Jumpgate!!

This game has depth, community, combat, a team of amazingly devoted devs... hell it even has purple aliens who look like various sea creatures... but I mustn't give any more away. If you are looking for the next big thing in gaming, look no further; buy JG today.
