   OK, First off this is a game for SHOOTER fans who are looking for a bit more than the run and gun shooter. This is not a game for the WOW crowd or any other standard MMORPG player. Now with that out of the way, Crime Craft is a very solid game that offers just the right amounts of RPG but doesnt sacrafice the Shooter aspect of the game. Anyone who has ever played DEUS EX will have a soft spot for this game. Being that this game is in its infancy it is expected that the game will have growing pains but this game plays so well and has so much potential for expansion that any complaints are minor in nature. Bottom line is that the success of this game will rest heavily in getting people to play it and then to support this game with alot of Downloadable Content.… Expand

   This game is -not- as awful as most folks say it is. Yes, it's a little tough to get into. Yes, the devs put it out there with a downright hubristic money-making scheme. No, it's not worth paying full-price plus subscription PLUS cash shop money. I think that this game's major downfall is that they tried to pull too much cash out of a notoriously tightwaddy community; PC gamers don't like paying for things they could have for free, and in CrimeCraft's case, the game was not compelling enough to make a real impact on gamers' wallets. It is, however, going free to play. This, I believe, will be a major turning point for CrimeCraft; I hope they pull things up again, as they certainly deserve a shot at getting along now that they've realized their most crippling mistake.… Expand

   it's not an awful game. It's not broken or ill-managed or carelessly developed. The graphics are around an 8.8 compared to current games, the animation is top notch, the sound design works very well; all of the game mechanics work really well. So, what's wrong with it? This game is what would happen if Planetside and World of Warcraft had a "child" and it grew up and became a chartered accountant, taking after both of them, but lacking all of the inspiration and fun that made his parents so likable and a success. I played this game for a few weeks and then moved on out of boredom, it's just not very fun, there is no variety at all. You can choose to play PvP or PvE but grinding in PvE is monotonous, and you never really get anywhere, the npcs level with you so only the best equipped players are successful in PvE. The skills they offer are boring and under-powered so PvP is decided mostly on who has the bigger gun. Most games consist of two people; people with Heavy Machine Guns who just hold down the fire button the whole time, or snipers who find their favorite spot and camp the whole game away; the game is balanced so those two strategies are the most effective, with grenade launchers in third. All in all there are only maybe 25 different maps, probably less and each of them is about the size of a standard Call of Duty MP map. All other things besides, the auctions, crafting, gangs etc. The core game play just isn't that fun, it doesn't have anything that makes me want to come back to it later.… Expand

   A nice concept running on a great engine like the Unreal Engine 3 is, ruined by technical issues and a repetitive gameplay where you repeat the same quest over and over and earn so little that your time seem completely wasted. And now there is a free account, yes it's obviously a trial (where you can't craft, can't join guilds/gangs, ...) but when the entire game is based on PVP quest and without a premium account you can't kill anyone because they have overpowered items ... it's worse than you might think... It's a game in a beta stage, i think that they are making gamers pay for a beta. That's my experience on CrimeCraft.… Expand
