Summary: The worst Online game!!
Review: This game stinks so bad they dropped the $10.00 monthly fee. It was a very boring game and their are hardly any other players. Don't waste your money or time on this one... trust me.

Summary: Merging 3D Online Space Fighting with Real Time Strategy!
Review: This game took an incredible idea and made it to life. We have been playing 3D space fighting & RTS games for a long while now and this is the first one that merges them, plus it's online!

Take up the idea of creating a space base & your team and then go for space exploration in order to mine some money in order to enhance your ships. This game will take the fighting up one level because no matter how good you are, if your team is not playing together, you are bound to fail. This game teaches solid Teamwork and it rocks! Beyond that, there is a start & end point to this game. You play each match and I've played games that lasted 6 minutes up to 4 hours (and heard of more than that). The bigger the number of players, the longer the game usually is.

Tired of flying? Just sit back as a turret gunner in a capital ship in order to bring down the enemy base! One of the many features of this game.

Unfortunately, this game won the Best Game No One Bought and is lacking some players. This doesn't mean you can't enjoy the game since the games are usually better with a lower number of people. Having too many people makes the games last much longer.

This game has one of the best 3D Space Fighting engine coupled with good Force FeedBack and sound. Everything is usually quite smooth. A must have for any space fighter!

Summary: Best MMOPG Ever
Review: This is a fantastic game, Here's a short list of the "genres" of game you could see in this one fantastic game

- FPS (Dogfighting, Turret gunning, bomber runs)
- Strategy (Resource management, tech paths, tech resources, minning for income, almost all characteristics of all Strategy Games)
- Simulation (actual space simulator, flying with a large variety of ships and class ships, (Interceptors, Figthers, Scouts, Capitol Ships (Cruiser's Frigades)
- MMOPG Massive, MultiPlayer , gameplay, where the "Team work" is the key to the game.

This is a game none like any other, It is extremely unique. It has amazing graphics, that will blow you away.

the one and one one downfall is the "Learning Curve" it's not a huge curve, the keys are basic as any other game (learning getting used to them) the game is also Joystick Playable and or keyboard / mouse) The curve begins when you try and take or do too many tasks. Try one task and master it then work on another, listen to others and watch everything :) Soon enough it will all fall together..

This is great game is highly recommend, with an Active community and growing.

GoodLuck and Hope this one makes it for you!

Review: well, it is actually the game i was wanted for so many years! usuall rts lacked team elements and well i hate playing with ai, flight sims and shooter usually lack a point, well you just shoot people just becuase it is the goal to shoot at them(well capture the flag is usually as dumb) but the 2 combined actually makes a perfect combo!

Summary: Allegiance Still Kicking
Review: While Allegiance does have somewhat of a steep learning curve, those who are willing to put a little bit of time into learning the basics of the game by visiting the various message boards (i.e. IGN's Vault Network Boards) or strategy sites (i.e. GameSpots Allegiance Game Guide) will be amply rewarded for their efforts. Without a doubt, no other online game comes even close to the level of teamwork found within this game (and I've played a lot of them, such as Quake, Tribes, Warbirds, Half-Life, and yes even Counter-Strike). Therefore, if you love games that involve teamwork and don't mind the sci-fi setting, you will definitely come close to nirvana with Allegiance.

With Microsoft's final 1.25 version patch, the game is now FREE to play (no monthly fees) and requires no MSN Zone account (but this means no player stat keeping which wasn't really an accurate rating of commanders and pilots anyways). The number of game factions now totals five (with Belters and the Rixian Unity being added to the original three), giving a good variety of potential strategies. The maximum number of players per server, however, is now capped at 64. During the day, it's usually easy to find a server with around 20 to 30 players in a game, with peak periods reaching up to the 64 player maximum. These peak period games are intense to say the least. Once you understand the basics of the game and participate in one of these 64 player games, you will be hooked on Allegiance for good.

With newer games coming down the line in 2002, I can only hope that they dare to live up to the expectations that Allegiance has set for multiplayer team combat. It will be a hard act to follow. Heck, even today the graphics for the game are still holding their own compared to newer titles. If you're contemplating on getting the game, love teamwork, and enjoy using your head as much as your trigger finger, then Allegiance is definitely for you. Even if you play the game for a single month until that next new title comes out, it will be the most pleasurable month of multiplayer gaming you will have had in a while and well worth the purchase price. Hehe, you might even find yourself returning to the game again after those newer titles don't live up to your expectations!
