    An amazing game with a very high learning curve. Allow yourself at least three weeks to become acclamated to this game and you will be forever hooked. Been playing since launch, and now almost three years later the population is growing larger by the day. Could not have asked for a better game. No where else will you find a game with such a deep and complex political and economic climate An amazing game with a very high learning curve. Allow yourself at least three weeks to become acclamated to this game and you will be forever hooked. Been playing since launch, and now almost three years later the population is growing larger by the day. Could not have asked for a better game. No where else will you find a game with such a deep and complex political and economic climate completely controlled by the players. You very rarely see GM intervention (I think in three years I can only recall two or three very large controlling moves by GMs).… Expand

    Kinda complicated at first especially if you are not familiar with this kind of game but as you get along with the tutorial & finished it, everything will be alright! EVE is immersive, very addictive and a complex game. The graphics and community are pretty COOL and very nice!

    EVE is one of the best ive played so far. the graphics is stunning and the music is good. The community is friendly and helpful as well. You cant go wrong with this game if you want a sci-fi mmog. Its WAY better than SWG and even earth and beyond. I love it!

    Amazing game. Been playing for over a year, and it keeps getting better. Not for dumb people. Not a simple shooter but that is one way to play the game. So many things to do it never gets old.

    I've been gaming on computers, of one type or another, since 72' and I have to say that this game is IT, so far. What a great community, story lines, graphics, and playability. Simply fantastic.

    Perhaps one of the most complex online games at the moment, EVE Online sports spectacular graphics, thrilling sounds, and an immersive story. In fact, the only thing I feel it's lacking is a greater involvement with the storyline. If you enjoy games in a galactic setting, or games where there are next to no limitations to what you can do, EVE is something worth trying.

    It's way too confusing. I found myself getting more and more bored and confused just trying to compete the friggin' tutorial. Even after an hour I wasn't half way done, becuz it's so damn long.

    its definitely better than SWG, when it comes to graphics and gameplay. i love the pvp and pve aspects of the game too.. there is no real endgame..), your character advances even if you are offline making this "the" game for the casual gamers like me.

    EVE is one of the best online game ive played by far. The community in here are very matured. They helped me on my first week of playing the game. The game itself is very intense. I just hate losing in the stars. Need i tell that the graphics look awesome? It has serious eye candy. GREAT!

    first thing i did was try the 2 weeks free trial and it just went on from there. i got hooked to the wonderful space graphics of Eve. dropdead spectacular! Eve is not just mining, you get to do quest by interacting with different merchants etc. not to mention hunt down pirates NPCs....

    Much of the confusion--and thus the bad ratings--concerning this game devolve from the gorgeous graphics. A lot of people log on expecting a cross between Freespace and Privateer. What they get is more like a mix of Starfleet Command, Everquest, and Elite. It is very much a cerebral game.

A lot of people log on expecting a cross between Freespace and Privateer. What they get is more like a mix of Starfleet Command, Everquest, and Elite. It is very much a cerebral game. While it's true that there is no yank and bank, the fights are nonetheless nail-biting in intensity, as you have to make dozens of split second, life-or-death decisions for every minute you spend in combat. As with real life naval combat, much of the credit for victory goes to your preparation and vessel design. You'll spend days just planning and tweaking ship designs before you ever engage the enemy, whether you're designing an anit-frigate destroyer, a fast attack interceptor, a battleship, or a blockade-running cargo ship. And the enemy will ruthlessly highlight the flaws in your design, believe me. The other aspects of this game are equally impressive: dynamic economies (both and player- and npc-driven); stunningly enormous play area; player politics and alliances; corporate wars; trading; mining; piracy; spy missions; bounty hunting. You name it, this game has it. World of Warcraft might be attracting the masses, but the people with the love of classic sci-fi, aggressive business instincts, high I.Q.'s, and mature appreciation of a lovingly hand-crafted masterpiece are playing EVE. It's a free trial. What do you have to lose?… Expand

You lose your ship and its gone. You may get some money back on the insurance but it still takes the time and effort to get a new ship ready. The entire market and industry is player made/controlled. 95% of items in the game are made by players, competing to sell their products on the market. From the raw minerals being mined, and refined to the ship being built. Also it is the only game where everyone is one 1 server making it unique. This enables a much better community and the opportunity to gain fame among the game. Another unique feature is that all expansions are free, with CCP bringing out expansions every 6 months, and smalller patchs in between.… Expand

    EVE is more satisfying to play, as you never run out of new ship setups to test or skills to train. EVE is much more deeper than the other because the game has a so open-ended nature.

    I was offered EVE beta test key when it first came out and didnt bother. After years of AC / AC2 / DAOC / WOW and more of hte same ole game with different graphics I gave EVE a try. Well so far I like it a lot. Totally different than anything I am used too. Friendly to those who play hard (lots of money for uber items) and for those of us with external lives (real time leveling).

    For people who can persist and give it time, eve is the best pvp game curently out there. No other game can match the intensity or planning needed, it's a pure rush. i know many people who play WOW and EVE, but they all say "if you want exciting pvp with risk involved, EVE is the only chioce" is why they all come back.

When i tried the game's 14 day free trial, i got addicted! i love the game missions, mining and pvp. it should be much more interesting when Red Moon Rising comes out, just my thought.what else, oh yes, did i mentioned that EVE has the coolest graphics EVER??? i give it a thumbs up!

    From reading some of the FAQs, I like the fact that if a player has a low security value, from 'breaking the law' too much, people can put a bounty out on them. Another feature I like is the in-game (internet) browser.

    the game is great if you love the idea of piloting spaceships and exploring space. Eve is THE game. Once you get in and explore the 3d map, you WILL be impressed. There is so much to explore and do. yeah i love the graphics. but the game is enjoyable once you get the hang of it.

    For all its style in terms of graphics, backstory, and iterface, EVE remains a complex and slow-paced game that will prove anathema to anyone currently hooked on the simpler, more immediate delights of, say, "World of Warcraft." [March 2005, p.71]

    A visually stunning spacefaring game that is still radically different from mainstream fantasy games. Even after Exodus it is still a bit lacking content-wise, but getting steadily closer to being a massively multiplayer Elite. Definitely an acquired taste, though. [July 05]
