Summary: Neocron - update
Review: Since there haven't been any recent reviews, I want to put my two-cents in, since I've been playing NC for four months now.
This is a great game, although, as others have said, there are occasional "crashes to desktop" or FRE's. While these can be frustrating, the game itself is quite engrossing. You have the choice of four character types - Private Eye, Spy, Gen-tank or Psi monk, with several subsets of each. Besides fighting and hunting, you can become a trade-skiller, building better items for sale or trade. Also, there are eleven different factions you can join, each with its own political agenda.
While there are PK'rs among the ranks, the game is based on OP-war, PvP style fighting and new players have the option of retaining their LE (law enforcer) implanted chips to mitigate this, if they choose.
Another plus not usually mentioned is that there are five world-wide servers - one German, one French and three English-speaking. Each has it's own distinct flavor, if you will, i.e., Saturn (English) allows you to create up to four characters and has more PK'rs, while Pluto (English) allows one character, but seems to have a more cooperative tone, IMO. (That isn't to say that there aren't many good folks on Saturn, some just get into role-playing more than others).
Definitely try the demo and check out the forums at neocron.com, but you owe it to yourself to look into the "future world" of Neocron.

Summary: Think Blade Runner, Cyberpunk type game.
Review: Think Blade Runner, Cyberpunk type game. But well done and fully realized in every way. & NOT someones idea that sounded good but never got to reality. Neocron lives, baby!In this game everything means something. You understand what I'm saying!? Things like,
Vehicles.
Factions.
Clans.
Trading. with real people in the game.
Saying hello or yes and your player waving and nodding and it goes on and on...
Your own personal E-Mail used between players actually in the game like at your desk in your apartment or at terminals around the entire world..
An in game forum, also one at a terminal in the city or you apartment desk.
Running and jumping, damage taking damage, constructing, salvaging, repairing, hacking, to much to remember, all getting better throughout the game as you choose to allocate your points to your which stats. Etc... This is a real Man and Woman's game. For the Mature... thank you very much. I can go on and on but just don't have the writing skills.. Sorry. I was so sick of tiger & lizard head people and purple furry orcs and goofy looking monsters in all these other games, hint hint EQ SWG AO & Lineage II where even the orcs are good looking and the Elves run around in what looks like their panties? ... Even the Newest Online games are really bad, gee lets stand around and look how good we look talking to eachother games.

Summary: fatal errors, crashes and player killers
Review: This game could be great some day, but for now it needs a major rewrite and to go back to beta for about 3 months.
The chances of your char going into the null zone after 2 months is about even, and the chances of losing your account data after 5 months is almost 100 %.....
Save your money and buy something else....listen to the warnings of various older players and refuse to play this laggy, full of errors, POS..

Summary: A really entertaining game.
Review: This game is addictive. Play it for twenty minutes and you'll be hooked. The game combines, for the first time, a MMORPG map in size comparison to Everquest and the FPS gamestyle of Unreal Tournament and vehicles that drive like the vehicles in Halo with a graphics engine that just rocks. I play the game every chance I get which is normally about 6 - 7 hours a day. Don't take my word though. Go to... to find out how good this game really is.

Summary: Played the demo, waiting for the mail
Review: This game is great! I spent the better part of the night waiting for the download to start. Once I got the demo, I played it over and over. This is my kind of game! If you have ever played System Shock 2, you'll love this MMORPG! This game has serious potential!

Summary: mixed feelings
Review: This game is one of the most buggy games i have ever played, the customer service sux, getting accounts created and paid for sux. First time i have ever had to work to get a company to take my moeny for the product. The business end of this company is worthless and needs to go back to school.
Having said that this game is also one of the most fun games i have ever played. The players are great the gameplay even with all the bugs and lack of info o nthings is fun and has so much potential. The overall design is brillant.
If you can stand the frustration of dealing with the company and bugs that have been there for years you'll find an enjoyable game to play. If i have to deal with thier customer service or mods/admins not answering questions anymore i'll be one step closer to canceling my account.
Good luck!
