  1. When it comes to massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPG), this one has carved a new niche and filled it very nicely.
  2. A terrific concept that isn’t terribly far away from realizing its full potential. [Feb 2002, p.72]
  3. The racing, judged alone, can be quite fun, but overall most gamers can't help but be disappointed in the games lack of a true multiplayer feel.
  4. It’s unfortunate, but the experience – at least for now – is awkward, plodding, and, worst of all, inconsistent. [Mar 2002, p.76]

    It had problems, but it also attmepted to do something that hasn't been attempted before or since. This game turned me from a casual gamer into a hardcore gamer. Expand

    It was a great game, until EA shut down the servers. Now it's unplayable!
