    MAG is a pretty addicting shooter, but seems like its lacking

    MAG is an online only, first person shooter, and is pretty fun all together. From the start of the game, you'll have to choose from one of three different factions, and each with their own back story and array of weapons and equipment. Throughout the game you will gain experience points and unlocks perks with those experience points.
     
    When I first started to play MAG, it was very fun, and had really interesting and somewhat unique elements within the game. The gameplay for MAG is played out extremely well, and virtually has no problems. The hit detection never seemed to be a problem for me, although a half second of lag would appear to happen most of the time, but not really ruining the experience, as well as being not really noticeable. The gameplay doesn't feel as smooth as Modern Warfare 2, but definitely does not disappoint. When the game has 256 players playing, there is also hardly no noticeable lag. Textures throughout the game may seem a little blurry, but aren't really noticeable either, and looks very good for how much players are in a game. Weapons, and attachments all work well, and upgrading really feels good, and keeps you wanting to play, and unlock more and more. Using weapons in the game feel just right, and never feel broken as well.
     
    MAG is meant to be played as a team, and when most players have headsets, and know what they are doing, there is actually tons of teamwork being used, and medics can be very useful, as well giving tons of experience making the player fell intrigued to use that type of class. Overall, MAG is a fun experience, and keeps you coming back for a good chunk of time, but after a couple of months time, you'll feel finished with the game, but very well worth the purchase. I wouldn't recommend MAG for everyone, and may not be the best online multiplayer experience, but definitely is worth a look, and has many unique features.

      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. SVER would be essentially the Russian faction with AK-47 type weapons that are a bit more rustic. Raven is a European PMC with great weapons, and Valor is the North and South American contingent that is probabl...
