Summary: Wait a little while
Review: Mankind seems to have a pretty good game at it's core. The problem is that the good part of the game is having trouble escaping it's troubles. I've been playing for a while (> 1 year), and while I sort of enjoy it, it is a constant struggle. I'd say give it 3-4 months; It should be a little better by then

Summary: Mankind
Review: Mankind, as a concept would make for a fantastic game, it is a game where you start out in a huge galaxy, build a base, mine minerals, build factories, build fleets of ships, make friends, allys and enemys worldwide.I however cannot say that it lives up to it's concept due to areas of game being closed as servers go down, zero customer service, much effort to build since loading minerals, ships, and more takes many mouse clicks, this is NOT a game for anyone who has symptoms of Carpel tunnel syndrom in my view, from playing it. Presently, they have patched the game again to 1.7 and the game became unstable, they have had to totally close the game until they fix the problem, this despite "beta-testing 1.7" before patching the Game servers. They have a record of poorly implemented patchs. The game itself would be a five star game if it worked fully as they advertise it to be, if servers were always working, if they had any type of real customer support.

Summary: Not Worth The $$ at All
Review: MK is a waste of time and money. The concept is good but the implementation of that concept missed the mark so badly you might think Microsoft had something to do with it. The tech support is non-existant and the "universe" is un-reliable. You will spend hours clicking and building but you will not be assured that your work will be around when you log on again. Although the user comunity is quite strong the company ignores them regularly with regards to enhancements and bug fixes. Go spend your money elsewhere. Maybe a good book?

Summary: The Draw and the Drawback
Review: The Draw: It is a mix of Sim City, Command and Conquer, and Civilization (sort of) all online and in 3D! It has it all, Resource managment, wars, alliances, trading, Research and Development, the works. In my opinion this game could have very well swept the market in the RTS Department. The Drawback: Enter Vibes... Here is a company that almost goes out of it's way to show you how much they don't care. Well, I guess that might be an assumption on my part, but it's either that or they are the most ignorant bunch of developers to ever enter the online market! When I have problems not getting into the game, (which is almost always) I send email to the tech support department giving a detailed account of the error messages I had recieved along with the steps it took to get to that point. 3 days later (on average) I get a "try not running any other program at the same time" email. I send in an email stating I wasn't... I get no response! Now, the problem with this is... they know very well that EVERYONE ELSE has the same problem and they claim no responsability. It's all me or my connection. :/ I have paid for a years subscription... The year is almost up... and out of the near 12 months I paid for, I was able to play for about 5 of them. Mind you, I am a game junkie and if I were able to get on and play, I would! Summary: I have to say that I loved this game... When it worked... Which was almost never! Don't get it. You will regret it. There is nothing more frustrating than haveing a game that you love, but aren't able to play. Trust me! -Jeff (Braxt Moonshadow)

Summary: got better with 1.8
Review: the game got better after vibes fixed a lot of problems and put out a new version 1.8. This version is definetly better than the previous versions 1.6 and 1.7. This game is addicting, has good graphics ONLY if you have a 3D graphics card, and you get to meet people around the world. The downfall is that you have to put up with vibes but i think they are getting better like 1.8 did. Also, if you do play join the guild UGG.

Summary: Unlimited Universe? You got to be kidding...
Review: The rating system here at Amazon doesn't give good choices. This game is 5-Star for addictive, 3-Star for enjoying all the boring time of click,click,click to do anything useful to play, and -1-Star (that's right, a MINUS 1) for company response to any problems with the game. After spending close to a year playing this game with all the server ups and downs, living and surviving through 2 major upgrades; not without their problems,(addictivness) and even now after the fiasco(sp) that was created with the recent upgrade to the 1.7 version I still miss not being able to log in and talk to the international group of friends I have met on line. If I knew then what I know now about how the creators of this game worked and how much(laugh) they(Vibes) care about supporting their customers, I would never have thrown the money into it. But then I would have never met these interesting people who play it, nor the informative forums (i.e. Mankind Outpost on delphi.com for English players)where everyone now knows me. Before spending any money or time on this game, I would suggest reading both the reviews and checking out the forum discussions unless you do not worry about wasted money and effort in a game.

Summary: First ever persistent universe
Review: This game is the first ever really MMOG (Massively Multiplayer Online Game), in UO or EQ you've got seperate servers. Here there is one Universe with 100 000 players. Furthermore the world is persistent, you can build hundreds of ships, stations. Definitly there is no other games like that and it's the first one and the most technicaly advanced.
