Recieved 2/10 review from IGN, it is meant to be horrible :/

 

[Drunken Monkey]

ign reviewed it when before the first patch... barely anyone could get the game to run, those that did probably wish they hadn't, it was a buggy, glitchy mess...

most the server issues are fixed, and apparently update 1 comes out august 7th... which changes all the sounds in game, which at the moment are laughably bad... the games fun

the "raptors" are relentless though ;( so i just jump in the closest vehicle and drive :'(

there's also mechs, and did i mention jetpacks, though you are more likely to get attacked by the urm
"flying dino thingy"

luckily it rips off avatar and you can fly one of these
