Summary: DO THE TRIAL FIRST!!
Review: Before you dump the money into this, PLAY THE TRIAL, you can get it from fileplanet.com. I played the trial through the full 10 days. For myself there wasn't anything there that really made me want to turn my account into a full fledged player account. The combat is ok, gfx are ok the general class balance really needs work, in all the game is just that. OK. I've played AO, and I would much rather play that then this game. The one thing I will say about this game is the music is VERY well done, avatars actually move when you are speaking to each other which is better than saying "/wave" all the time, you also get vehicles, thats another cool thing. Otherwise.. eh.. Its not a bad game, I just don't think its worth the monthly fee.

Summary: Becareful
Review: I followed the development of this game for over a year, and due to a botched US release have only been playing for a few weeks now. I have to say that Neocron was born of a brilliant concept, but it has been spiraling downward faster and faster since retail release. I love Neocron, but its terribly frustrating to play. If your not ready to dump alot of time into a game that looks like its not destined to survive long, hold off on buying this game. ... Before you buy go read the official forum and see the total chaos that errupts from week to week. Ive had to re-focus my character 3 times now, thats once for each of the 3 patches that have come out since Ive had the game. The worst part is that many of the beta players who claim the game worked fairly well before its release are leaving in droves as the game inches closer to "totaly unplayable" day by day. If all that doesnt convince you, try to understand that if I could be playing Neocron right now instead of writing this review, I would be. Unfortunatly after dumping 3 hours into the game last night and accomplishing zero due to severe stability issues, I have decided not to even try this evening as all the same complaints are still being voiced on the official forum. :) Reakktor should have sold the game to an american firm, cause they seem to be in way over their heads.

Summary: BEST MMO EVER
Review: I played EQ for two years. I played DAoC for about 2 months, I played AO for a month. I have played many MMO's and neocron takes the cake as far as shear fun gameplay. Combat is not some boring Click and sit game like most MMO's there is no auto target, or autofollow. you actually must aim to attack. It has a few bugs(crash to desktop, synch) but since it takes all of 25 seconds to get back in game(unlike most mmo's) crashes arent that big of a deal. I have been playing for well over a year without expieriencing any losses due to bugs(no lost stats or equiptment) no one i actually know in game has had any problems with losses from bugs either. Its probably one of the cheapest MMO's out there too. which is a Very good thing. you can try a free 10day trial. They have game mechanisms to protect you from PvP and PK's if you do not wish to participate. most of the community is more than happy to help out new players with money and equiptment(even enemy new players) the only downside is that in off peak times the server populations can be pretty low oh yeah its also the only mmorpg that allows you to swear in game so it may not be appropriate for any little kids...and theres strippers...but thats another story for 10.00 for the game and a free month you should definatly get this game

Summary: Great Game
Review: I played the beta. It is a fun game and a nice change from Everquest. Zoning times are hardly noticable. Everyone starts out with their own apartment with storage space. Parents, be warned that this is really an adult game. There are "seedy" areas of the city with nudity and bad language amok. :) I'd really like to order the game, however can't seem to find anyplace in the US that sells it?

Summary: The best MMORPG I've played.
Review: I'll start out by saying that I've only been playing Neocron for a couple of weeks (it only came out in the US 3 or 4 weeks ago.) So far, I completely love the game. I've played other MMORPGs (Asheron's Call, Anarchy Online, Dark Age of Camelot), but Neocron is by far my favorite. I am a big fan of the cyberpunk, post-apoclyptic setting, and Neocron does it beautifully (both in the specific sense of graphics and sound, and in the more general sense.) I think the developers at Reakktor learned a lot from the experiences of past MMORPGs, and made great strides toward solving many of the biggest problems. PKing is one area where I think they did a great job:
Everyone starts with a "Law Enforcer Implant" - basically an item that prevents them from damaging OR being damaged by other players. This implant reduces EXP and money gain, and makes it harder to use the items in the game (higher stat requirements.) Removing the implant is an easy task, but takes long enough that you won't do it accidentally. If you leave your LE in, you will never have to worry about being PKed. However, once you take your LE out, you can be PKed, but *only* in certain areas - which do not include most of the newbie areas. Neocron also includes a very robust tradeskill / crafting / whatever you want to call it system. Tradeskills are very important, as many items cannot be bought in stores, or are a) prohibitively expensive, or b) very poor quality. A very exciting feature of the game is the Outpost system. Outside the city, there are outposts of five kinds: Labs, Forts, Uplinks, Mines, and Factories. A Clan in the game (an organization of players) can go and capture one of these outposts. All the players in that Clan will then receive a bonus to the appropriate skill when at the outpost. This can be vital to constructing high level or high quality items. The outposts are one of the driving forces behind the PvP activity in the game. I'll conclude by saying that this game is, as every MMORPG I know has been, a work in progress. There are still bugs in the game (though recovering from them is usually painless), and the devs continue to release patches tweaking the existing content and adding new content. Please try this game, but do understand that it is early in its lifetime!

Summary: Neocron review
Review: Neocron has to be one of the best MMORPG's out. Every aspect about the game is great. Being a fist person shooter allows you to accually control your character in combat. The skill system is played much better than other mmorpg's. This game has a terrific gameplay value. The only negatives in this game are the lack of colors (which is really depressing), and the lack of areas to explore. Both of these problems are being worked on though and should be fixed soon. If you are looking to get involved in a mmorpg I strongly suggest this game. Please vote this review helpfull to keep it up! Thanks for your time

Summary: Neocron rocks.
Review: Neocron was my first venture into the world of MMORPG, and what a fantastic choice it was! I've been playing for over 7 months now, and apart from one glitch that the customer service people handled really well, can see myself playing for another 7 months. The 4 character classes, and the strengths and weaknesses of each give a huge variety in game play options. I have high level characters in each class, and I'm still finding new things to do on each of them. The political system within the game is complex, and adds to the overall feel of the game. The outpost war/PvP system makes for an added challenge. Try out the 10 day trial, and you wont be disappointed.
