It's a great game for the hardcore grinder gamer. It plays like a MMO without the extra stuff. It also plays like a RPG with no almost no story and no leveling. How can that be? All of the upgraded stats come from upgraded EQ. The better EQ is obtained by killing monsters and harvesting hides, pelts, teeth, etc. to make better armor, swords, shields. The fights with the monsters are very similar to raids in an MMO. The battles can take 20-30 minutes of moving around, battling, tracking, recovering HP, and then doing it again until you've defeated the monster (or died three times). At the higher levels you need to team up with a partner to take down the monsters, preferably via local wireless but also possible via online play (and some extra hardware for your computer). If you like soloing in an MMO then you should give this a try. Also, a word of warning, this is considered a tough game.
