    Game sucks and is over-rated.

    Only good thing is that it has 256 players supported. But that is just a gimmick. No one on the PSN is even using a headset so most of the time you see idiots running around like head-less chicken. Not only that, but the game also has some bad lag. Unless you are a Sony fanboy to the extreme, don't pick this garbage up. This game will hardly last a month. 
     
    Just wait for Bad Company 2, which is vastly superior. Bad Company 2 beta> Full game of MAG.

    maybe you should take off your master chief avatar before talking about fanboys. Every multiplayer game has idiots running around like assholes, thats not the point. MAG has so much that no other fps has and for that it should be given a fair shake, I've gone all the way with it and its been awesome, when you have a good squad that takes orders your unstoppable.  
     
    Bad company is great and so is COD and so is KZ-2........and so is MAG.   get your head out of your ass.

      Zipper catches the PC feel on the console. 0

      At it's most superficial level MAG appears to be little more than what it's rather odious moniker states a 'Massive Action Game' however, after spending some time with MAG one begins to realize it's true nature. While the game doesn't do anything we haven't seen before in gaming, it does do something we haven't seen in console gaming- the true team based FPS.  For lack of a better term the typical FPS market on a console is immature; from team killing, to questioning others sexuality the console...

      The best PC shooter on a console in some time 0

      MAG is an interesting game to try to review as the way that you play games and what you're looking for in a shooter are going to affect your enjoyment, or lack therof, of MAG. The game starts you out with picking a PMC (Private Military Corporation) from 3 choices: SVER, Raven, and Valor.

Raven is a European PMC with great weapons, and Valor is the North and South American contingent that is probabl...
