Gamesfirst is the most recent website to put up a review of Planetside. The overall score was 4 out of 5 stars.

Once into the game, it quickly becomes evident that the story is virtually irrelevant. Three sides battle it out in what amounts to a massive and never ending game of Capture the Flag. Soldiers spend their time island hoping from one location to another, banning together with those of similar political colors, and marching, flying, or driving off to assault one base after another. For all its complexity, Planetside is a fast paced game with fortunes that turn to and fro in a blazingly rapid tempo. It�s not uncommon to succeed in overrunning an enemy outpost only to discover that the base you came from, the one you sacked not thirty minutes before, has been lost to an opposing army. The speed lends itself to a constantly changing landscape. Signing on in the morning to discover that the island you spent all night capturing is now in the complete control of someone else can be downright depressing. Luckily, it�s the recapturing of those islands that�s most of the fun.
