Is this game any good?
i bought it and am having alot of fun with it. while playing i can see why it would be more fun with friends buts its still fun with a group of cooperative randoms. its still a little early so its a little rough around the edges but the game play is pretty good. alot like gta or saints row, the customization is really fum, but unlocking the shit you want is a bitch. all in all its a fun game and well worth the 10 optional dollars a month.
It is not very good, not for the price they are asking. There are a lot of dumb design decisions with the missions and it really ends up becoming boring really fast. The shooting is mediocre and favors camping, the missions tend to be one sides, players will upgraded guns will kill you before you can even get in range, and the driving isn't that great. A lot of the chases boil down to the guy who runs away in a car wins, since all cars go about the same speed and its impossible to catch someone without another player shooting out your window.
There is a lot of mediocre and poor things about the game. It will be fun at first because its a new experience and exploring the cities is fun early on. After a week or two you can ask these same people who are saying it is good and most of them will have stopped playing. There is a reason they tried to put an embargo on reviews. I think most players will end up quitting before they use up their 50 hours.

I have been having a blast these past couple of days but have run into some real annoying walls that stop the fun in their tracks. That's the fact that no human skill is really involved, or maybe 30% is human skill, the rest is what upgrades you have. I shot a guy point blank getting off a couple shots before he shot back. He would win every time, because he had upgrades (on the same gun I was using without upgrades). It's like being handicapped and not being able to use your full potential of FPS skill.
Oh yeah and criminals REEEEAAAAAALLLLLLLYYYYYYYY hate the less than lethal guns and getting arrested. I mean they really hate it. You even get to hear them cuss at you over voip.
" I was gonna ask you jams if your main gun atm has any upgrades. Mine has a couple...just extra ammo in the clip, but it seems to help getting off a few extra rounds. Bought it at the AH thingie. "just one for quick reload. That doesn't matter though because when I get matched against some one they some how aquired an NTEC that only takes a few shots to kill.
Just got a 5% acc "shoot from the hip" upgrade....now......how to unlock upgrades on guns????
If you have a few extra bucks, hit up the AH. I know this guy Hitman puts up good guns for cheap.
EDIT: Also...tonight I was up agains a 4 player team with full....whatever it is, they had skulls and horns above them. I got my ass handed to me, but I made good contact points for taking on such high level team. And I did get some back up......but the instance I was in....I dunno.....the crims must have told their high threat lvl pals to come on, becuase there were like 8 of them and they were all running together
