the game got better after vibes fixed a lot of problems and put out a new version 1.8. This version is definetly better than the previous versions 1.6 and 1.7. This game is addicting, has good graphics ONLY if you have a 3D graphics card, and you get to meet people around the world. The downfall is that you have to put up with vibes but i think they are getting better like 1.8 did. Also, if you do play join the guild UGG.

Play it for the community.... otherwise it ...

... ... ...Personally, I've been playing it for 2 years and I'm not likely to give it up anytime soon. It is technically poor... there is nothing groundbreaking about it. The graphics are substandard. It's buggy.

It quite a good game. Yea it don't have a lot of graphic, sounds and music. But all the features, the game style innovation and it one of the first to exist of that kind.

Where did Vibes go wrong?

Let's make it simple, this game would absolutely rock if it weren't for the fact that you get booted off every ten minutes and that your buildings and units don't get lost every time you sign back on. I've written Vibes tech support time and time again and the only response I ever get is that they're working on the problem. You'll hear this a lot from other people who signed up with Vibes.

I really enjoyed this game, and the doubters of this game from what I have gather, could not figure it out, and those who enjoyed has it figured, and, yes it is true, it will take time to master.

My advice to everyone is to spend the money to buy game so that you can have helpful booklet, to help coach you threw, I got the version from online, which made it very difficult game to learn, and even now that I have been playing for 4 weeks I would still like to have the booklet, (that I am about to purchase game to get)

*Bottom Line* If you enjoyed WarCraft, and all the different versions of Command & Conquer, then this is the game for you, Building, Battles, Research, Resources, and when your ready to settle down from game if you can (very addictive) it keeps playing, real time, always running, when you sleep the game is still playing, nothing to save because it never stops, and if you are able to join a Guild, or Pack, I tell you it is endless, Get It Now.

I only wish I had got it when it started.

Thanks, and I am out.

The Draw and the Drawback

The Draw:

It is a mix of Sim City, Command and Conquer, and Civilization (sort of) all online and in 3D! It has it all, Resource managment, wars, alliances, trading, Research and Development, the works. In my opinion this game could have very well swept the market in the RTS Department.

The Drawback:

Enter Vibes...

Here is a company that almost goes out of it's way to show you how much they don't care. Well, I guess that might be an assumption on my part, but it's either that or they are the most ignorant bunch of developers to ever enter the online market!

When I have problems not getting into the game, (which is almost always) I send email to the tech support department giving a detailed account of the error messages I had recieved along with the steps it took to get to that point.

3 days later (on average) I get a "try not running any other program at the same time" email. I send in an email stating I wasn't... I get no response!

Now, the problem with this is... they know very well that EVERYONE ELSE has the same problem and they claim no responsability. It's all me or my connection. :/

I have paid for a years subscription... The year is almost up... and out of the near 12 months I paid for, I was able to play for about 5 of them. Mind you, I am a game junkie and if I were able to get on and play, I would!

Summary:

I have to say that I loved this game... When it worked... Which was almost never!

Don't get it. You will regret it. There is nothing more frustrating than haveing a game that you love, but aren't able to play. Trust me!

Mankind seems to have a pretty good game at it's core. The problem is that the good part of the game is having trouble escaping it's troubles. I've been playing for a while (> 1 year), and while I sort of enjoy it, it is a constant struggle. I'd say give it 3-4 months; It should be a little better by then

Mankind, as a concept would make for a fantastic game, it is a game where you start out in a huge galaxy, build a base, mine minerals, build factories, build fleets of ships, make friends, allys and enemys worldwide.

I however cannot say that it lives up to it's concept due to areas of game being closed as servers go down, zero customer service, much effort to build since loading minerals, ships, and more takes many mouse clicks, this is NOT a game for anyone who has symptoms of Carpel tunnel syndrom in my view, from playing it.

Presently, they have patched the game again to 1.7 and the game became unstable, they have had to totally close the game until they fix the problem, this despite "beta-testing 1.7" before patching the Game servers.

They have a record of poorly implemented patchs.

The game itself would be a five star game if it worked fully as they advertise it to be, if servers were always working, if they had any type of real customer support.
