    It's surprisingly rewarding to climb in levels and get a new gun only to trick it out with some mods and a new paint scheme, and for what the game lacks in complexity or a plot, it definitely makes up for it with its fast-paced and enjoyable gameplay.

Having put nearly 1000 hours into the game over the course of a few years I can tell you that the game was better a few years ago before Vogster butchered it trying to lessen player turn out by dumbing down the difficulty and complexity of the game. Anyone who played orginally will solemnly admit this to you. That being said, the actually gameplay itself has not changed much and is still alot of fun to go back to now and then. This was the first shooter/match game I played that had a social lobby in it and I believe all shooters should follow suit.… Full Review »

    A nice concept running on a great engine like the Unreal Engine 3 is, ruined by technical issues and a repetitive gameplay where you repeat A nice concept running on a great engine like the Unreal Engine 3 is, ruined by technical issues and a repetitive gameplay where you repeat the same quest over and over and earn so little that your time seem completely wasted. And now there is a free account, yes it's obviously a trial (where you can't craft, can't join guilds/gangs, ...) but when the entire game is based on PVP quest and without a premium account you can't kill anyone because they have overpowered items ... it's worse than you might think... It's a game in a beta stage, i think that they are making gamers pay for a beta. That's my experience on CrimeCraft.… Full Review »

    it's not an awful game. It's not broken or ill-managed or carelessly developed. The graphics are around an 8.8 compared to current it's not an awful game. It's not broken or ill-managed or carelessly developed. The graphics are around an 8.8 compared to current games, the animation is top notch, the sound design works very well; all of the game mechanics work really well. So, what's wrong with it? This game is what would happen if Planetside and World of Warcraft had a "child" and it grew up and became a chartered accountant, taking after both of them, but lacking all of the inspiration and fun that made his parents so likable and a success. I played this game for a few weeks and then moved on out of boredom, it's just not very fun, there is no variety at all. You can choose to play PvP or PvE but grinding in PvE is monotonous, and you never really get anywhere, the npcs level with you so only the best equipped players are successful in PvE. The skills they offer are boring and under-powered so PvP is decided mostly on who has the bigger gun. Most games consist of two people; people with Heavy Machine Guns who just hold down the fire button the whole time, or snipers who find their favorite spot and camp the whole game away; the game is balanced so those two strategies are the most effective, with grenade launchers in third. All in all there are only maybe 25 different maps, probably less and each of them is about the size of a standard Call of Duty MP map. All other things besides, the auctions, crafting, gangs etc. The core game play just isn't that fun, it doesn't have anything that makes me want to come back to it later.… Full Review »
