Just read this months PC Gamer magazine (issue 190) and i read about this game called Air Rivals (AR), its an mmo which appears to have a bit of a twist, rather than following an elf, or whatever, you fly planes and generally revolves around PVP (player versus player) action, set as dog fights in the air, between 2 factions trhat are at war.
Rather than games like World of Warcraft, where you click on the enemy and press a selection of buttons for attacks, the combat system in AR gives your proper control over the aircraft as you pilot it and fire the weapons. (I assume its like LEgacy for those who have played)
the main draw back seems to be that you will die a lot, espescially whilst leveling.
a plus side is that there is no monthly subscription. however, you can buy ingame credits and subscribe to gain access to special weapons and decals for your air craft.
while the reviewer in the magazine seemed to almost love it (aside from the death factor) he only gave it a score of 70%
So, just wondering if there is anyone out there who has played it, or knows more who can tell me what they think of it, before i go shelling out for a game i may not like.
thanks
