Gameplay: 7.7
Control is decent enough, lots to work with and many places to go and adventure in and on and around. Control is dialed in well with plenty of options for character development.
Graphics: 8.4
More than your average amount of gore and chunks go flying by, with some really cool-looking and scary monsters coming out in the really late times of the night.
Sound: 5.0
An almost complete lack of sound is heard throughout the game. An occasional NPC player speaking would have helped as well as much more sound effects and scary music; remember this is supposed to be a horror-based game.
Difficulty: Medium
Veterans of the genre probably will have little trouble playing and getting quite far in the game (before growing bored of it). Newbies may find some additional challenges but not so much that you can't get things done.
Concept: 5.0
Ok, this is a hard score and I give it because the developers promised us a MMORPG with a horror theme. There are no jumps or scares in this game. Some monsters look frightening and the high blood and body part count may be disturbing, but to me, that isn't scary. This is more of a gore fest then anything. I can't wait til someone comes out with an actual scary MMORPG.
Multiplayer: 7.5
Questing together and then fighting against another in the battle arena is a pretty sweet idea.
Overall: 6.5
I was disappointed in the lack of horror for a horror-based game. However, there are worse MMORPGs out there and this is above par ... barely. Unless the DNA coding and beast ability is something that really excites you, you could take it or leave it.
