Two new sites are the latest to review Planetside this week. One is from Eurogamer.net, and the other is from 4Players.de, a German website. Here's a clip from Eurogamer, which gave Planetside a 7 out of 10.
So, do we like it then? As a fairly simplistic FPS that took us back to when Tribes 2 was good and bolted on some fantastic large-scale extras, yes we liked it. In a subscription-based massively multiplayer context, however, we just can't see much point in playing it for longer than a few months at the most. For a persistent world, it's just not very persistent, and the lack of anything to explore or do beyond shooting wildly at the enemy and swapping bases once a day begins to grate after a while. It would be nice to envisage winning someday.

Neben Euch st�rmen f�nfzehn weitere Leute auf die Basis zu, �ber Euch h�rt Ihr die Luftunterst�tzung, w�hrend zehn Scharfsch�tzen hinter Euch auf dem Berg f�r Feuerschutz sorgen.</UL>The rest of this review can be found
