Seems pretty much like every other online shooter to me, you just get to play Barbie with your character as well as shoot people.
 
I wouldn't pay a monthly fee though.

@bigall94: Personally, I think there's a point where bigger doesn't necessarily mean better. More players can always be mitigated by larger maps, but what's the point? What do you really gain? You end up needing more players just for that experience to match a smaller map with less players. I mean, there is something to be said for the "Woah, 256 players playing all at the same time" factor, but will it really matter on a pure gameplay level? I don't think so.

They thought of every way to make money off of you - but no thought on the actual game. You pay $49.99 for the game, then $10 bucks a month to play. Plus all the in-game advertising. Plus the gold bars which are used to buy stuff in game - which they sell on their site: 550 gold bars = $25.00 
 
plus even down to the bullshit tie ins and promotions:
 Best Buy Discount Card that saves you 15% at all in-game item vendor shops 
 Limited edition Ecko Unltd. t-shirt designed by fashion icon Marc Ecko for your avatar
 
This game is a rip-off and reeks of corporate bullshit and marketing execs. Don't buy it!

Even Giant Bomb can't make this game interesting to me. But then again MMO's have never really grabbed my attention until lately with Champions Online which I am considering getting and WoW:Cataclysm which seems really interesting.

When I was seeing ads for this game I thought it was just some weird Myspace game or something because the name and concept was so ridiculous. Everything about this game is just bad.

Watching this depressed me from just having to think about the people,  including Jeff, that have wasted time actually playing this game. 
 
Who made this game and why??? 
 
If Jeff reviews it I hope he gives it a "vomit coated piece of shit" out of 5

I gotta tell you, if you think WOW:Cataclysm looks interesting and worth playing... you should probably play the game now so that all the changes in Cataclysm actually mean something to you. What's special about a world that's wrecked by an ancient force if you never saw it before hand?

God, I hate games with massive billboards for Nvidia, ATI, or AMD.  Like you'd ever see such a thing.  Fuck no.  If you're a game developer, don't do that shit.  Get better sponsors.

I cant really see how you can compare this so Quake Live in any way. 
But man, there are so many MMO´s out there now with plenty of PvP options that if you want that kind of experience you go play something else. 
Making it into a third person shooter is at least kind of new but its really not what the market needs.

It's a Investors dream game. It has every conceivable payment option in one game. Wouldn't be surprised if they start selling DLC soon. 
 
I'm sure they went bananas when the designer pitched them the game.

I remember downing and trying out the beta of this and couldn't stomach an hour of it before quitting. The character creation is super limited, the controls are counter-intuitive, the animations look sloppy, the constant advertisement billboards were annoying, and the quests and combat weren't fun. 
 
If you're coming from WoW and looking for a different game to scratch the MMO itch, I definitely wouldn't recommend this one. But maybe it somehow gets better after the first hour. Maybe the quests get better, the controls work themselves out, the ads become less intrusive, and the game starts looking better. This probably has a much higher chance of happening if you're drinking heavily.

Everything about this game sounds horribly mishandled. And someone needs to find the marketing team and hand them an ass kicking. The subscription model is the real crime.

Aside from the cost I don't find this game contemptible, surprisingly.
