Nothing new for the MMO genre.
nele25 | Oct. 18, 2011 | See all nele25's reviews »Pretty alright game, but does nothing new for the genre. This would probably be a great game for those new to MMORPG's, but for veterans (and those who already played WoW) it brings nothing new.
What it does do is take some good elements from other MMO's and incorporated them. Takes UI and Control from WoW.
Rifts are similar to Warhammer online public quests. The multiple class/soul trees are in Guild Wars. It still needs to be seen how the devs will support the game content and patch wise. As that is what makes or breaks the MMO game, but so far it looks promising.
So, if you are new to MMO or didn't play WOW, try this one out (there is 7 day trail). Otherwise, wait for Guild Wars 2 or Terra Online.

Fun With Friends
Mondu | Sept. 2, 2011 | See all Mondu's reviews »If you plan on getting this game then try to rope one of your friends in too. This MMO offers nothing new to the MMORPG experience and nothing feels polished in the game. Questing is dull and monotonous, PvP is skilless and spam-y, dungeons are boring with no real memorable parts and the zones are fairly uninspired. Even with friends the game will feel particularly dull and you will require your banter to make the game somewhat fun.
The game offers no fun in a single-player experience. (Which is fair enough as it's an MMO). But if you want to continue playing when your friends log off, the enjoyment from the game plummets to rockbottom as you see how lifeless and unpolished the game really is.
It's one of the better MMO's out on the market but it's still not a satisfying game and a lot could be improved. Don't expect anything original; it uses mechanics from other MMO's such as WoW and WaR, but even these mechanics feel broken and underdeveloped.

New MMO? Check. Worth your time? Definitely!
lonelyjedi | July 23, 2011 | See all lonelyjedi's reviews »So I've been playing this game since launch, and have been thoroughly enjoying it. It seems like I've played every one out there and this is like a breath of fresh air. Let me start out by saying this is not WoW, though it has similarities, it is not.The soul (or in other words) class system is what sets it apart, and the massively awesome PvP modes. The graphics are beautiful and with everything maxed requires a pretty beefy rig. If you're tired of WoW, or any other MMO, you owe it to yourself to check this one out! Especially for how cheap it is.

Bring friends.
TorpedoVegas | July 23, 2011 | See all TorpedoVegas's reviews »I played Rift with two friends when it first came out and had quite a good time. It borrowed all of the great stuff that wow and other mmos had, but made it more fun and fresh. I thought I was going to play the game for months.
Sadly my two friends got tired of the game, quit, and I had lost all momentum to play it. Unlike wow, guild wards and other mmos, Rift is not that fun playing single player. Bring a friend that will last as long as you, and you could be having a great time.

A wonderful alternative to WOW
Xbomborz | July 21, 2011 | See all Xbomborz's reviews »After years of WOW towering over the market, it is about time for a game to come along and be just as good. Featuring a new and interesting storyline, characters, and gameplay, Rift is a fresh take on the aging and competitive MMO genre. Although it does still feel like, well, WOW, new and innovative gameplay features help to make this game feel fresh and new.
