More exciting than Privateer

This game can be almost anything that you want it to be, first shooter, strategy, social or any combination. If you enjoyed Privateer, you are going to love this game. It has more flexability than Privateer but has a lot of the same familar elements.

EA recommends a 500mhz processor for this game. But I am doing just fine at 400mhz, 256megs and a really good video card with 32megs.

EA has done a really good job with this game.

I hope to see you in space

Played the BETA and was impressed, it reminded me of the old classic by Brabin with enhanced everything.The only quarm I have with this is the fact that UK users can't buy it at the time of release. I don't understand why not but...very disappointing to say the least.

I don't like this game, I'm ADDICTED TO IT =o)

I've played like a month, and I'm already showing signs of dependency. Things like going to bed at 4:30 a.m and all that.

The Jenquarum, the Sha'ha'dem, progen, trade routes, combat with 8 eyed monsters from outer space. I'm gonna need professional help in another month, but i'm having fun like never =o)

Play with a clock nearby!

This game is wonderful! It is very addictive and you will definitely need a clock nearby when you play because you WILL loose track of time. The graphics are "out of this world" (no pun intended) and the interaction with other characters is wonderful! I am not a fan of role-playing games, but this is one I would recommend to anyone!

Potential

Probably one of the more annoying points of this game is the tremendous unused potential it has. Players have no "home" are must wander endlessly through the galaxy. Long load times inbetween jumps area also annoying.

I expect (hope) that as time goes on they will fill in the galaxy. I would really love to have a space that is "my own" in the world.

Awesome, but not recommended for everyone

E&B is so awesome. I have played a LOT for 3 days now and i'm already a lvl 30 enforcer and i've still got lots of things to do. In this game you have 3 races, each race has 2 class. Depending on your race and class, u can learn different skills. For example, an Jaquai explorer can rescue destroyed ships with the jumpstart ability. ( My ship got destroyed by aliens and I was far away from a station, luckily an explorer passed by and saved me :-) ) Teamwork is also important and adds the fun. The reason why i dont gave it 5 stars is because the galaxy is so vast, it will take a LONG time to reach an important destination. Also, combat should use more depth, it's almost always the strongest who wins. It's a great game, but not for everyone. If you prefer combat style like tie fighter, then you should wait for Star Wars Galaxies. But if you are a star-trek fan, then this game is for you !

Versatile - Rewarding

EarthandBeyond offers an ongoing gaming experience that never ends. Regardless of your game style, the role(s) you choose to take on will provide not hours, but months of fresh new experiences. From being a trader (Entrepreneur), to a Warrior (Shoot 'em up), and currently 4 other roles to choose from. Or, create a character for each role.

Pretty excited.

After playing in the beta test for a few months, I think I'm going to buy this game. I like how you don't have to invest hours and hours like EQ. Also the fun starts immediately, you're not messing around for the first 4 hours trying find out what the hell is going on. Very accessible. Good job WEstwood.

Not bad but can use some improvemens

I like this game alot, I play it everyday, but I am concerned about a few things.
First it has great graphics, and gameplay is ok, but it can be more fun with joystick ability.
Second, the droning background sound needs to be tuned down so I can enjoy the other sound effects more.
But all in all this game is fun as ..., but, it needs PVP capability. Right now I am level 25 now and currently working on getting to 50 or so to see the real fun factor of this game.]
I would recommend you buy this game if you like a sci fi genre type rpg.

One thing I love is the chat interface, one of the best i have ever seen in a game. Great market ability also, for in game profit!

Total New Experience! Best Game Yet!

This game is total new and I am sure you never played any game like it!

It is like when Westwood created the first stratagy game C&C!

After you have the game installed, you will be asked to chose a race (there are three race you can choose from They are .... find it out yourself) Then you will be asked to pick a job, you can choose to be explorer, warrior, or trader. Then you will be able to modify your charactor, you can change its gender, cloth, skin color, wear, scar, hight, weight, face, hair and many more.

Then you will be asked to choose a ship, also you can build it to any shape within allows.

Ops no time left I will write more if i have time...
