Summary: Best AND Worst united !!
Review: I've been playing MK for 14 months now. What is undeniable is this game is probably based on the better concept ever seen in persistant on-line games. You fall in love with the game BEFORE you can realize the truth : the team who is supposed to run, developp and maintain the game, Vibes, is totally incompetent. Many bugs, no support at all and servers are very often closed. The players who have invested a lot of time and energy in MK are always hoping that it will one day be better, but I'm afraid it's always the same old story : many bugs, no support at all, and servers very often closed. The MK community is in hell, believe me !

Summary: mankind
Review: I've played this game for just over a year an a half. The other reviews are right for the most part. Yes there is an awful lot of mouse clicking in this game, but this is to be expected with a game as complex as this. Is it boring, yes & no, it's more monotinous than boring. Mankind is as fun or dull as you make it!. The main theme here is construction, to research you have to build a lab(s), to get minerals you have to build mine(s),..etc. But what the others have not said is that as a player in MK, you get to meet many fun & interesting people from all over the world! For instance, i have met players from Norway, portigul, Italy, spain, germany...and you also can get to know these players as well. This is not just a game, it's almost an RPG in setup. I would hope that customers browsing through will try MK, if not for the graphics, which are very good, but to meet other people they would not have met otherwise

Summary: The Game that could have been.
Review: If you want to play an online game that has unreliable service, no customer support, where the creators tell you they don't care what the players want in upcoming developements, where the servers can go down for a month at a time and the updates and pathches are months late with no projected resolution this is the game for you. Heck, I played it for two years and haven't seen new technologies yet with the exception of some new required technologies that make the game very unplayable. You can spend endless hours playing and still go nowhere. Vibes may simply loose your account info or you'll log on to find your installations and ships you need in the game to be gone. Vanished into thin air. If you play this game you will work harder trying to build your empire in a day than you would have to at your real life job in a week. All to have your efforts vanish, be made obsolete by the next upgrade, or worse. The game started out well, but lost its value when Vibes stopped caring about their customers and inventing new ingenius ways to debug the game with new bugs. The most important point is that vibes has not used their revenue to improve the game. They simply jury rig every problem and then have the nerve to ignore customer complaints

Summary: Unfortunately NOT that good
Review: It is unfortunate that this title does not live up to its expectations. While initially the gameplay is rather SIMCITY'ish, it quickly dulls as you realize that the MULTITUDE of clicks necessary to accomplish any task will leave you with carpal tunnel syndrome. Coupled with the poor communications, and the fact there is little or no multiplayer interaction, UNLESS you accidentally stumble upon somone. Places this game at the bottom of the heap. MAYBE the creators will start to listen to their players and change the gameplay, ONLY THEN, will this game RESURRECT itself.

Summary: Where did Vibes go wrong?
Review: Let's make it simple, this game would absolutely rock if it weren't for the fact that you get booted off every ten minutes and that your buildings and units don't get lost every time you sign back on. I've written Vibes tech support time and time again and the only response I ever get is that they're working on the problem. You'll hear this a lot from other people who signed up with Vibes.

Summary: A Complex Good Game
Review: Mankind is a complex game that involves building cities, bases and ships (after gathering your own elements), diplomacy, war, alliances and much more.This game is not for those who only enjoy the "shoot them up" style of play. It IS for those looking for something that incorporates several key elements of gaming, including building a character, building your assets, strategy, AND combat. With superior graphics, ample opportunity for role play and players from around the world, Mankind provides a chance for its players to make friends across international borders. The game operators, Vibes, have had some problems in the past, but they have worked hard to continually improve game play, customer support and to add new features while making existing features work better. If you are looking for a game that incorporates more than just combat, more than just role playing, more than just strategy and more than just building, but that incorporates all of those elements, Mankind is the game for you.

Summary: Mankind - Always down for updates
Review: Mankind IS a pretty good game, when it is up and running. This unfortunately is not often enough. The company who runs the game, called Vibes, seems to be full of poor programmers and has a generally lousy technical support staff. The game involves a lot of clicking of the mouse and is constantly being patched which causes the servers to be up and down for weeks at a time. For all my negativve comments here though, I will admit I am addicted. Not sure if I will stay this way, as they have just released a new version of the game which has TOTALLY changed the entire game. The new version has been out a week, unfortunately, the servers have been down so I cannot say if it is any good. What I can say is that they reduced my credits from 2 Billion to 20 million (took me a year to earn 2 Billion) and now my cities are dying because I have 10 and the new limit is 5 and I can't get on long enough to destroy the spare ones.
