IGN UK reviews MAG (7.6/10)

[Euphoria14]

Reasonable said:
Not too keen on this kind of review as it seems to be off the Beta. Granted I doubt the game will change that much, but still, I want reviews of the full game online on the full servers and not extrapolations from Beta play.

More of a principal as I probably won't be getting MAG just because it's not my cup of tea rather than because I'm nuts for the game.

I tried the Beta and I think it's a hard title to review, really. For example, scoring graphics should really take into account the fact they have to look a certain way to get 256 players on there, and the reviews I've read seem to imply it works just the reviewer would prefer X where X seems more suited to a smaller game - i.e. the reviewers do seem to be struggling with comparing it to other titles for reference which is tricky as there is little like it on consoles so far as I am aware.

I think it'll find it's audience, and god help any late joiners is my guess, 'cause the good teams are probably going to dominate over time.

Fascinating concept I think, though.

This is my fear. I don't want to grab it too late and get raped, but nobody on my friend's list has it.
