Rating Description
out of 10
9.5 Presentation
It's a tight, well-made game that includes all the little things you expect to see in an MMO. In-game help includes video tips and the official site's PowerWiki contains a wealth of game information.
9.5 Graphics
One of the best-looking MMOs out there. Environments, weather effects, and character details are all beautifully rendered.
7.5 Sound
Background music and sound effects set the mood of the zone you're in, but some combat sounds can be disturbing until you get used to them.
9.0 Gameplay
The fun factor is high and although questing can be grindy at times, the novelty and challenge of Abyss fighting makes up for it.
7.0 Lasting Appeal
Other than PvP, end game is limited to re-rolling a different class but you will need to replay the same content.
8.5
Great		 OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)

That score is way to low like it's Metacritic score.

I was very excited to try this out. I purchased the collectors edition and spent several days with the title. While looking amazing, it just didnt really grab me. Perhaps after 2 straight years of WoW grind, I just wasnt ready to, start a new grind (with a fresh coat of paint). The game is very grind happy.

With all the goodies that the my consoles are releasing I think it is just hard for me to devote the time that Aion requires. I just have a lot of gaming to do, and Aion is just not worth putting the other stuff down (IMO).

Current Demon Souls is kicking my ass!

For an MMO though it is well polished for a launch title. If MMO's are your thing, than personally, Aion is worth trying out.

Aion has Seraphims and other Clestial characters in it, lets hope it'll dethrone WoW and come to consoles! :D

Neither will happen. It's too shitty to dethrone WoW, and it's near impossible to have any deep MMO on a console. WoW is pretty mellow and I have 3 hotbars set up each going form 1-12 (one has alt the other ctrl as modifiers). I also wanna know how you'd do communication. Surely you don't mean voice chat only....
