  • Summary: In the far off distant future, four homin races struggle for survival on the plant of Atys. Known as the 'living planet', Atys is growing and evolving on its own, sending tendrils into the sky and covering the lands with new life. This lush and vibrant world is the setting for The Saga of Ryzom, a multi-genre massively-multiplayer online game which is played out over a period of eight years during which players will be able to explore and adventure with thousands of others, in order to reveal the hidden mysteries not only of Atys, but of the entire Ryzom universe. Join the Saga, reveal the history and become the future. [Nevrax]… Expand

    With good graphics, great gameplay and concept behind the game, and overall decent sounds this one might be right for many of the MMORPG fans who have been waiting for a good title.

    The graphics are really nice and distinctive, the back story intriguing and immersive. The stanza system a superb way of letting each player not only level his char but also create his own set of customised actions. No need to rely only on what the devs thought your char should have. The game has come a long way since the beta that left me unconvinced. Fighting is more exciting and gratifying than it used to be. But the game still feels a bit unpolished, incomplete and the devs would better deliver on all the promised content.

    There's virtually no plot, and a lot of the mid-level game seems like a repeat of the novice-level game. [Jan 2005, p.84]

    For a game with such amazing art direction, innovative game ideas, and a dedicated developer, it's a shame that it pimps you down unfairly and destroys your entertainment with double-digit deaths. [Feb 2005, p.69]

    The guy that gave Ryzom a 3 has no idea what a good MMO should be.

    This is the most refreshing game to have come along in a long time. It sets the bar higher for all the MMOG's that have to follow in it's footsteps.… Expand

    This is an incredibly diverse game with new features that bring a decidingly fresh feel to the mmorpg genre.

    I wanted to like this game, I really did but I can't. The premise is great, the ideas and fresh approaches are great, but the actual implementation of those ideas are failures. While the grapics are nice they are not that great nor are they revolutionary in any sense of the word. On a scale of 1 to 10 the graphics rate a 6. The game is still raw and very unpolished. You will find code over many irtems and creatures in the game instead of the actual names, quit a bit of the interface is unfinished. Four races that are for all intents and purposes identical except in appearance. Mobs for each land again, for the most part identical. The actual game play is interesting foir only a short while. Then is becomes mind numbingly redundant. Very little to no interaction available with NPC. Yes there are missions but are the go get this for me types. Nothing new there. There are 2 patches planned at this time to fix and add content that are suppose to address many if the issues brought up here, I ask why I have to pay $50 for a game thats released to the public that already has 2 patches planned to addressed UNFINISHED aspects? I understand MMORGs are patched frequently, however these patches are not really fixes but things that should have been implemented before shipping. Another open beta released for $50 and dumped on the MMORG fans. Too bad really, I had high hopes and expectations for this game. With EQ2 and WoW right around the corner, save your money.… Expand
