IGN Review of AO

IGN has put up a review of Anarchy Online. Here's an excerpt: Whew...I could literally go on for hours and hours for a game as big and deep as Anarchy Online, but I'll spare you. I think you get the gist of it by now...it's a brilliant, engaging, profound MMORPG, but with enough atrocious technical problems to make you scream more obscenities than a French truck driver. This game has the potential to be the best MMORPG ever, and I've seen it work right in the beta phases, so I know what it can do once the technical issues are fixed. Unfortunately, we can't review a game based on "potential" -- we have to review it based on the facts, and the facts are that Anarchy Online simply isn't up to spec right now because of a few major bugs that still need to be worked out of the system. However, with that said, it has gotten better since our first impressions, and with 60,000 active AO account as of this writing, it seems that many of the early adopters are having a great time with the game. I have no doubt that Anarchy Online will live up to its potential in a few more months after the initial growing pains are over. However, I would still recommend waiting a few months for Funcom to work on the bugs and get more servers online, especially since you'll be paying $12.95 a month to play the game.
