    Fury is a lot of fun, but is let down by its lack of diversity. The core gameplay is compelling, but given its lack of options, it isn't likely to hold your attention for very long.
  2. If you've been complaining about the lack of PvP in your MMO, this is a non-stop, complex and compelling game that offers a deep, intricate and layered PvP play. If not, Fury isn't likely to convert you from Player versus Environment to PvP in one sitting - but it's still a hell of a good time.
  3. The title has a lot of potential, with a staff behind it that believe in the game, but currently paying the premium subscription fee would not be recommended.
  4. Too clever for its own good. [Jan 2008, p.80]

    Underrated PvP masterpiece - don't listen to reviews by those too used to the cookie cutter MMO crackpipe. Fury is in a different cathegory. Take PvP on the complexity level of GW combine with a team of developers always working to improve your PvP experience, remove most of the grind, and you get the formula for competative gaming perfection. This game -has- been released too soon, with some rating tanking bugs, but without the PvE distraction the developers are rapidly solving issue after issue and it won't take long for Fury to deserve the high score.

    I actually enjoyed this game quite a bit. I think I understand why the early reviewers gave this game such horribly bad ratings. Basically when this game first came out it was apparently a god-awful piece of crap. However after many numerous patches and updates the game has vastly improved. This game reminds me of Guild Wars minus the pve elements, and on top of that it has a WoW user interface. Being that this game was developed on the Unreal Tournament 3 engine things like knocking someone off a cliff are possible, and ragdoll physics as well can be very impressive. Basically as said previously Fury is an entirely pvp focused game, which for me is a very good thing. However I realize that players like myself are apparently in the minority and therefore I can understand why many people flat out hate what this game stands for. I tell it like it is though, and I must admit this game still has annoyances and needs polishing. (Auction house interface, abilities interface, etc.) Also, there is a small player base which is probably a detriment for an mmo. Even with all the cons, Fury has some of the best pvp I've seen in an mmo. Expand

    This game is unpolished and release prematurely. It's also very unique in it's approach to Arena-PvP and fast paced gameplay. It9;s also not very newbie friendly.
    It's also mislabeled as an MMORPG where it's a CORPG/PVP. ____________________________
    The combination of these factors resulted in some horrible, extremely negative, reviews and bad word of mouth. Professional reviewers compete in who can write the most exciting Zero Punctuation style murdereview. Anti-Fanboys place their 0/10 comments.
    Ignore both, and do your own research.____________
    Auran, the developers, announced a major update/rebuild for December and they continue to offer a free 10 day trial period to play the game._____________
    If you like PvP games that require strategy and tactical thinking, with an RPG styled combat system and FPS style movement, this game is worth the trial (and if you end up liking it, money). _______________________

    This game is not an mmo, it has a lobby with 3 instanced pvp arena game types. There is no world pvp pve or what have you, It's a simple versus game like every other online game except fury has a glorified lobby which you can move in. It would be like making a graphical lobby instead of a text based one for diablo 2 or tf2 and instead of browsing games in a browser you left click an npc in a graphical lobby and browse them there then call them mmorpg and mmofps, I think not. The games graphics look washed out, might have something to do with the unreal 3 engine so i can see them being improved once the engine gets a fix. The game play is complex and confusing at best with fotm builds running supreme, The skill is finding the fotm build or having a friend tell you it. Expand
