Keep in mind i dont generally like 3d shooters. I bought this game as a sci-fi RPG... which it isnt. After a few days play, the only RPG elements i have found is that you get to pick 2 team members (out of 5 or so) to run out in front of you and block your shots when the badguys rush in.This game world has a lot of background, and youll spend your first couple play sessions reading about all the various races and their political struggles.. then youll spend another couple days on some tedious shooter runs... then you'll go pick up a good game instead.
