EVE Online MMO Best Space Sim Ever?
A buddy of mine has been trying to get me to try out EVE Online. This weekend, I finally decided to download the demo and give it a try. You don’t need to submit any credit card info… always a big plus for any trial run.
My first impression was that this was a pretty cool looking stylish game. I was excited to dive into it. So I started to go through the tutorial. This seemed to go on… and on… and on… The interface is very point and click… hold down your right or left mouse button on things to choose what to do or how to interact. There’s a lot you can do… off the back it’s almost overwhelming. The universe appears HUGE!
My biggest problem with EVE is the combat. It is more slow and strategic than I thought it would be. You click your target; select to attack it and kind of sit back while the fighting takes place. I’m told there’s a lot more to do once you have multiple guns and missiles to manage. One of my favorite space sims was Freelancer. That game was a GREAT space sim!! I was hoping for a fast paced aim, target, fire combat mixed with an in-depth MMO experience. Unfortunately, this isn’t what I got. I really should put in a lot more time to put together a more detailed review, but this one isn’t for me.
If you are looking for a very detailed complex MMO space sim, you may want to give the trial a try. For what I saw, the graphics were very cool. Unfortunately for me though, I would have to disagree with my buddy and say this is not the best space simulation ever. For the devs out there, give me the depth of EVE with the combat of Freelancer and I’d be sold!!
