Customer Reviews of Planetside

Wonderful Game
I purchased this game about a month after it came out, the community was suprisingly large and the graphics were not bad at all for its time. Although this game has online fees, the results are amazing, the first person MMO idea was a great one. <
>I would recommend this game to you if you don't mind spending a little cash to go online with it.

Planet Sized Problems
Planetside for the PC is first person shooter where you wage war for territory and enemy bases in futuristic alien worlds. Planetside can ONLY be played online; there is no offline mode. No practice mode offline either and this is really disappointing. Then you need to pay a game fee! If you bought this game retail it comes with a 30 days free play, after that you have to pay a subscription fee ($12/month) if you wish to continue playing! Planetside is not for the casual gamer, because the game offers so many options: you can be a medic, engineer, pilot, assault soldier, heavy assualt, sniper, spy and more! You can choose from three different factions and they all of similar soldier types but feel a bit different. You'll be shooting with weapons found in most FPS like the shotguns, rocket launcher, machine guns, pistols, sniper rifle, energy weapons and some neat gadgets. The alien worlds (earth-like) are humongus! Even your base is huge and is easy to get yourself lost and confused. Running on foot takes forever, so you need to ride vehicles to travel faster to battles. If you don't have a vehicles you can ride a shuttle which arrives every 5 minutes! or use a warp gate. The battles are very awesome seeing 50+ players having a real war: lasers, bullets and missles flying everywhere! The real problem begins with "LAG", even if you have a powerful PC with cable internet, it LAGS like heck! Then there is game crashes...this game is so glitchy and full of bugs that they keep making the game crash (even with patches)! Lastly, the game feels repeatative because the battles NEVER end! When you take over an enemy base you are then supposed to defend it and then the enemy comes after you! There is NO ending, no victory screen or FMV, no stats to give you satisfaction. So after a short while the never-ending battles seem pointless: completely ruining the game experience. <

What do you mean I can't play USED software?
Don't buy Planetside USED if you want to play it. <
> <
>Sony Station will only allow a software key to be used once and will not give out another. This happened to me and after speaking to customer support, all I could do was buy a new version. Buyer beware! <
