    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.

    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.

    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.

    Fury never once grabbed us like other MMOs or arena shooters. We weren't compelled to keep queuing up for deathmatches, or sprint back to vendors to upgrade our equipment or skills. So while it's a competent game, we simply couldn't get into it.

    The Fury gives me a conflicting sense of agoraphobia and claustrophobia. It's likely that it may be more refined in the future, but right now it feels as though it's still a work in progress.

    When you realize, after a while, that all there is to Fury is to either fight or not fight, you may just decide to take your ball and go home. [Jan 2008, p.90]

    Lacks any sane rationale behind its price and hides within it a game that could have been so much more, but just isn't. [Jan 2008, p.78]

    Go pick up a cheap copy of any flavor of Guild Wars if you want subscription-free heroic fantasy PvP.

    The single worst feature of Fury has to be its utter unforgiving nature when it comes to creating your character.

    It's important to note that there are some very solid fundamental designs at work here, and an entertaining game can be found if you have the patience to stomach the painful technical issues and the small user base that currently plagues Fury. In a best-case scenario, Fury's population would quadruple in the next six months, and with a larger community, some of the player-matching issues would clear up.

    Too clever for its own good. [Jan 2008, p.80]

    The game wants to be an all-out action extravaganza, when in reality the end product is full of technical issues and poor gameplay.

    True to its title, this fantasy action game will make you furious.

    It's a messy button-masher that makes you really wish it had been able to realize its potential. Don't write it off completely, though...let's talk again in about six months.

    Its mediocre visuals will tax your PC like an Inland Revenue man hopped up on crack; we had to scale the settings right down in order to make it remotely playable, and even then it crashed us back to the desktop with depressing regularity. Perhaps it was trying to tell us something.

    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.… Full Review »

    This game is so bad they had to can 90% of the staff because they had so few sales. ANd it word of mouth is so aweful that they disabled the user responses in their forums and deleted all the threads so new potential scam victims wouldnt be scared off.… Full Review »

    Tried the game, and it's an awful mess, MMO??? ahah the only massive thing in this game is the number of bugs and issues.. The graphic reminds of a year 2000 game (poor ut3 engine!).. Population is so low that is almost hard to play a game and you will spend most of your time in a queue..waiting and waiting.. There are only few hardcore players playing the game... the ones who gave this orrible game a 10.. They are trying to recruit some more players.. i can kind of understand since it should be boring to play against each other all the time. Do yourself a favour and spend the money on something else.… Full Review »
