    This game is just awesome. I know this review is way to late but who cares. This game is one of the best games Ive ever played. Its well balanced its challenging and its was totally worth the 30$ 3 years ago. I hope Global Agenda 2 will as amazing as its predecessor.

    This is the best pvp shooter ever made. Sadly it was HiRez' first game and they wanted to try to make it an mmo. Regardless, nothing can take away from the skill, the speed, the pure fun of 10v10 combat. The maps are great, the balance is decent...an even more pvp-centric GA 2 would put all other class-based shooters to shame, TF2 included.

    The Game is Very good, They need to increase the world size and fix some nicks and nacks. It would be extremely wise to add more classes and weapons, it seems to dull at the momment with the 4 arch types.

    Alot of people bag on the game for it's lack of huge content or massive maps to wander.

PvP still feels fairly balanced - you don't have to have the best gear to be a decent player - just a tad bit of skill and be a team player if your fortunate enough to be in a team that is of the same mind :-) Overall I would say it is a solid 8 ish title now with room for improvement - the last major updates really gave it a boost it needed and also a good point in the right direction. The new content is actually pretty fun and the instances are way more challenging than those encountered in the first area of the game. Check it out.… Expand

Its great because you get a unlimited and (mostly) unrestricted trial basically, the only restrictions are you cant trade (to prevent gold / item farming). The game is awesome, the graphics are great, the mechanics of flying with a jet pack in combat is great. Some people dont like the only other freely travel zone besides the "Dome" is the desert with mish that bring you from lvl 5-18 (out of 50). Honestly the things it has you do in the desert is really just the most elaborate tutorial ever! It makes you learn how to play your class solo before you go jump into PVP where it really matters. After the desert you can still do PVE mish in instances with 4 other people you go through the lvl and kill a boss and get rewards. Free players get no loot but get tokens, coins, and exp. Elite players (a one time $14 fee) get a item, double xp, double coins, and double tokens. So it speeds it up alot but you are never really required to get it. I got it because it is inexpensive and it makes the lvling go much faster and that to me is enjoyable. But what makes this game different is it has PVP starting at lvl 10 which, if your good at it (or score well), will level you faster than PVE matches. So while your enjoying the end game reward of PVP you are also leveling up to the max lvl 50. The only difference between a lvl 30 and 50 player is the kind of equipment you can equip. between level 1 and 30 you get 13 skill points and once you hit 30 your player is as "buffed" as it can be besides from armor. Overall its a great game that holds my interest since its basically all PVP. The PVP is almost EXACTLY that same as TF2 except it is much deeper. TF2 was very easy and shallow, this game is deeper, it has 100% more strategy, and for me more incentive to play. Think of TF2, better looking, with harder PVP, more maps and options, and that in between matches you get to walk around, talk to other ppl, buy and sell items (from NPC or other players if your elite) dye your armor, and just customize your play style.… Expand

They just opened the micro pay system which isn't very elaborate yet, but they are clearly trying to figure out a lean model by which to start seeing profits for further dev of this and the studio's tribes reboot. Most importantly, it is not pay to win. Cash can be spent to speed up leveling a bit, or for visual flair. The game has a lot of options, though not a lot of visual variety (or rare flair yet, but give them time to cycle new stuff in) and a few different builds for each class which one can experiment with. Aside from co op pve and pvp modes, most often overlook the SOLO PVE mode, which is hugely challenging in the upper levels. Don't listen to any of the straight negative reviews on here, all the red ones are trolls and people who gave the game 20 minutes and gave up cuz they are f2p 'gurus' or something. Expect bugs, it's still being updated. Expect a real challenge, and a co-op that requires your teammates to play well. Ignore the random parties, and make some friends, it will make all the difference. If you all play your roles as teammates correctly the payoff is a much faster, efficient and less deadly mission series ripe with diverse mob spawns and industrial crushing devices. Honestly give this game a try, the total tally is 241 positive to 36 negative user reviews. Trust the ones who put in 200 hours and love it. This game is the business.… Expand

    First off IT"S FREE, so that alone should get it more points than some of the people here are giving it.

    Secondly, objectivity seems to be an issue here. This is not an RPG this is not an MMO this is not a FPS, it is a little bit of all those. If you'd stop trying to define what the game is and how it doesn't fit those categories you'd probably have more fun with the game. And Third...

    And Third... Go try it if you like team based FPS games with some light RPG/Adventure/Customization elements. It's FREE!!!!!

    The main focus of this game seems to be team based combat. There are more than enough variation of team vs all and team vs team combat that it doesn't matter what you like, you should be able to find something here. The match making is easy and painless. You can venture around while waiting for your game to queue, which I've never had to wait more than a few minutes.

    There are light RPG elements. You can do some basic customizations with "skill points", kind of like how WOW does it. You can reassign these points at any time in the normal world, but in missions you can't at all. This is nice because unlike other games, if you feel you'd rather take back a point or reassign it other places, you can without penalty. This allows you to always be playing a character you don't regret.

    There is armor, weapons, customizations, etc. There is enough stuff so that you aren't the same as everyone else, but it's just like all the other MMO type games out there, you will look like most people. The nice thing I like here is that your armor and how you look is completely seperate. So if you really like one "outfit/suite/Helmet" you don't have to give it up to have better armor. I always hated that in other games when I had to give up a look I liked so that I could survive.

    Jetpacks make it easy to travel. Which is nice that you don't have to buy the pack

    Adventure. This isn't WOW or anything else like that. The adventure is pretty linear, and you don't have to do it. It's really only there for people that care about storylines and adventuring. Again, you don't have to do this part, but if you do you'll get "free" armor/weapons/items.

    Combat is nothing really new, which ISN'T A BAD THING. It takes most of what everyone (including the developers previous games "Tribes") did that worked and used it again. It's fun to play if you like team based FPS action.

    There isn't anything wrong with this game. Everything they do, they do it well. It's really more about whether or not you like this type of game. And since it's FREE you don't have any reason to not go and try it.    … Expand

This game genre is a very new with several contenders falling from the race such as All points bulletin. Global Agenda attempts and succeeds where others fail, by combining elements of FPS games and RPG's. This is where it comes into conflict with many players, as FPS players think that it is going and should be faster pace, with things like headshots implemented. On the other hand RPG players may find the features in this game to random, relying more on the players skill than mastering the abilities. If you get into the dramatically different (and refreshing) gameplay, you will find that it is a very immersive game, perhaps the only problem is the clear lack of a story, but this is slowly being implemented with the new expansions. The first one Sandstorm introduced a open world area, with missions and a background story to boot. Missions can be divided into two types PvE (player vs AI opponents, similar to dungeons or wave based defenses) or the classic shooter PvP (player vs player). PvE, while playing a large part, tends to take a backseat to the amazing PvP. For the first 29 levels the game, slowly intorduces you into each type of mission, but once you hit level 30, the game takes a change. AvA (agency vs agency) is another addition to the PvP world, similar to other MMO's guild vs guild. Agencies fight over control of territories on a board (the territories are called hexes) and at the end of the session of the AvA whichever agency has the most points win. There is much more depth to the game, but that would make this review too long.
    The classes in this game consist of four types, Assault, Robotics, Medic, and Recon. When the game first came out there was and definite imbalance in the number of classes. Each class has the option to spec out several different ways. Assault for example, can focus on, AoE's, tanking, or ranged damage. This game many times has been likened to TF2 in the role of the classes, and this is true to some extent. Assaults are the, heavies, soldiers and demomen. Medics act as more of the original team fortress medic, being able to poison opponents, and heal friends. Robotics fills the role of engineer. Recons take the spy, sniper and scout role. Now that time has past for the most part there is a reasonable balance of classes.
    In the end Global Agenda is a new game type that people should try before buying, luckily there is a free trial that lets you play to level fifteen. If you find it to your liking, then buy the full game as you will fall in love with it. This game remains one of my favourite and is by far one of the most innovative.    … Expand

    Global Agenda is a great game on the verge of amazing. What makes it great, is the developer.

What makes it great, is the developer. Hi-Rez Studios is extremely dedicated to making a great game that will not only make them money, but that will satisfy us customers, a rare trait today. At first GA was supposed to be subscription based to unlock the entire game. Hi-Rez didn't charge the subscription until the big update (Sandstorm) was available. Hi-Rez felt it unfair to charge extra for GA in its current state because the game didn't have the content that players expected (A bold move for Hi-Rez). Then Hi-Rez, being dedicated to their fans, released a survey asking what payment plan people prefer. Pay to play? Micro transactions? Buy once and then pay for expansions? Turns out people, myself included, voted for the buy once option. Hi-Rez listened and made the adjustments. So far Hi-Rez has a made a solid game, produced many patches, released big updates (other than just Sandstorm), and has never charged anymore than the original price. Hi-Rez is attempting to make this method work much like Guild Wars. The consumer buys the game and plays it. There are also options to buy "boosts" that will boost the amount of rewards you earn after battle (xp, money, tokens).

    I've said so much about the developer, but it should be understood that the game itself is also very good. The shooting mechanics aren't what you'll find in other shooters simply because Hi-Rez wanted a balance between the skill of a player and the rpg, number crunching aspect of the player's character. Amazing reload animations aren't extremely important because it's third person and not a part of the action (ammo is reliant on energy not rounds of bullets). However, movement animations are great and everything is smooth and natural feeling.

    Whether the game is a true persistent mmo or not doesn't matter. You can trade with people, play with people, and talk with people. It has all the social aspects of a traditional mmo. There is crafting, pve coop missions, a pve story (included with Sandstorm update), pvp, and Agency vs Agency pvp. The game seems limiting in it's gameplay modes, but once explored there is a lot to do. Hi-Rez also released more variety with each update which seems to come every couple of months.

    The critics where too hard on this game. Seems some of them where a little butt hurt that a brand new developer could stand in the ranks of legends. But I will say that Global Agenda is so much more than when it first arrived. Elements that where shallow have now been expanded. Elements that were missing have now been implemented. Some elements have even been removed and reinserted with a whole new working. It seems Hi-Rez is accomplishing everything they set out to do with Global Agenda no matter how much effort and time it takes. Some developers understand this. Most don't.    … Expand

What this game does so well is reward you for your skill at your class. Gear and Levels, while important, are not as crucial to your success as your reactions, aiming and use of skills in real time combat. For those WoW and mmorpg players looking for a change of pace from the Gear > Skill, I can speak from experience that this game is it.

    The game does have its flaws. Most of the content is instanced, with cities and other hubs being areas where you find a group to PvP, PvE and AvA (Think PlanetSide in that you are fighting for territory with other "Guilds"). You will enjoy this game far more if you have a few friends to run "dungeons" and quest. GA does have a nice Team finder in the veins of WoW's random dungeon and random battleground finder.

    If you are looking for a change of pace game this is it. The content has been vastly updated in recent months and the game no longer requires a monthly subscription to enjoy all content. At just $39 (cheaper if you can get a steam deal or promotion code) this game will provide plenty of enterainment, especially if you play it with some friends.    … Expand

That being said there are classes which are very specialized in the fact that they all have interesting skills and GAME-CHANGING elements. Team-work is key and the unique combination of skills, weapon load outs, and player chosen talents is what really makes play dynamic. Customization in this game may just be the most custom I have seen while still retaining both gameplay and the concept of gear through upgrades.

    This game's potential is enourmous. I don't give it a 10 only because it needs some improvements. Ataching different armours that you can only obtain in different levels only to the visual of the player, sounds a little restrictive and not that useful. After all you don't need an armour at all to play it. I do like to costumize my characters but the different armours and This game's potential is enourmous.

Ataching different armours that you can only obtain in different levels only to the visual of the player, sounds a little restrictive and not that useful. After all you don't need an armour at all to play it. I do like to costumize my characters but the different armours and helmets should bring something more with it. The game is very interesting and chalenging and prepares you to expect great things. Stores yet to open in dome Cities makes you wonder what will they allow us to buy to gain a little advantage or a little small difference in combat skills. I know this game will become absolutelly awsome thought is not there yet. I really hope the developers continue adding caracteristics and chalenging objectives after listening to the users. More skills are needed after level 30 and maybe different weapons should be allowed to purchase even if you needed to spend some addicional Dollars just to make a little but significant difference. Costumizing your character cannot be only based on your "looks" and high levels must be allowed to purchase or obtain something "more" even if it costs a few extra dollars and not only give you prestige. However the game is awsome and highly entretaining. The maps are huge and some of them are really beautiful. Some details deserve to be noticed and are really master pieces of design and inteligence. The discussion about if this is a FPS or MMO becomest totally irrelevant given the fact that this shows a very interesting compromise between types although I understand that some hard core adepts may find it disapointing. What is important is that this game is already very good and entretaining and is yet to achieve its highest point. I foresee that in less than 3 month most of the users, including me will rate this game like 10. We shall see. KG… Expand

    Hey, this game for me personally is very good. I absolutly do not understand why someone is giving here a zero or 2 points. That's absolutly unworthy. MMO: Ok true to say, it is more a shooter than a MMO so the MMO part has not much to show of atm. But there will be a lot of quests out of dome city and more MMO to come. Balance: Well what to say about it? Just perfectly balanced. I Hey, this game for me personally is very good. I absolutly do not understand why someone is giving here a zero or 2 points.

Balance: Well what to say about it? Just perfectly balanced. I must confess, i have never seen a pvp game so dramatically based on teamplay which is so balanced like Global Agenda. Just every class is able to be the masterclass in one specific situation but to win the map you have to work together, solosnipering one person is absolutly ineffectivly etc. Story: Ok, the story is not that good, but what do you want to expect from a game in this genre where nerlay everything was used somewhere else? PvE: It's ok, It's not the mainfeature, it's not that boring but not really interessting, but as it is not the mainpart of the game that's absolutly ok. And yes, it's hard, even when you hit lvl 30/50. AvA: Just awesome. 10 vs 10 is maybe not what you expect to be an MMO, but it is really challenging and you have to think about: Do I take a recon for the last slot or better a medic? It is all tacticle choice. Tactics and strategies are also very important in the battles, you truly see which team has the better one. Nevertheless you can learn out of these matches and so it is easy to learn but hard to master. Agency/Guild: The management has been improved after release of patch 1.1 and all in all it could be bether but is functionally as it should be. Future Updates: Well I must say, that I have never seen a publisher working so close together with the community. nearly everything what was done by 1.1 was brought up by the community and the talk about these things is still present. Also when you say, ok content now is not worth 40 … Expand

    GA is a bit misunderstood. With its label of mmo, a thought of grind, gearing up, and pale quest after quest to get to the "End Game" surfaces. The only "mmo" that this game should be compared to is planetside. After years of playing planetside, i can not remember doing a single quest, chasing down one random piece of loot, or feeling that i must reach the "End Game" before i can really GA is a bit misunderstood.

After years of playing planetside, i can not remember doing a single quest, chasing down one random piece of loot, or feeling that i must reach the "End Game" before i can really enjoy or flaunt my achievements. GA is terrifying for investors. Not a single tried and true fantasy element anywhere. GA is new. It forces the player to gain skill, not skill up. yes, after level 30 (written 2/28/2010) your only gaining new armor looks and paint. To compare this to planetside, leveling gave you access to more equipment and abilities at once, and new armor looks that changes its paint patterns. The 4 man dungeons are kind of bland after the 20ith or so romp through. But, when was the last time you had to actively dodge and aim at what you wanted to kill in an mmo setting? The over all feeling i get from GA is that it does not want to make large errors in development, or system shock players that do not play FPS or action games. Baby steps are what the developers are taking. They listen to the player base and are watching how the sales are doing at the moment. Announcements have already been made telling of new changes and added content. Also, the subscription is optional. A game that will update and change with an optional subscription is a good investment.… Expand

    Coming from TF2, i find GA a really fun game to play... there's a few bugs that need to be fine tuned but other than that its a fantastic game. AvA is a little slow but that doesn't mean its no good. Even tho the subscription is for AvA I want to give them money because I know they will create something Ive been longing for! I recommend it.

    Not as bad a game as the reviewers would have you believe. It does lack content, there needs to be much more variety in the arena's as over time it gets a bit stale and the crafting is, well poor, but who cares about that, when at the end of the day it just plain good fun.

Reading the reviews it just sounds like people expected it to be like this or that game, but it is its own creation.

    Global Agenda is a good game, with some good ideas that may have been pushed harder by the development team to make it more than a simple hybrid. You will probably enjoy in the beginning and for some time, but the lack of original elements may lead you away from it quite soon.

    In the world of Global Agenda it's your turn to help the agency to fight the regime of terror: unit with the thousands of other agents and defeat the enemy in various multiplayer battles. And as long as you keep playing the game in multiplayer-mode, it's quite entertaining – but nothing more.
