 Polished, but don't confuse for an MMO Apr 08, 2010
By Justin Rose
"Him on Earth"
The game is a pretty straightforward third person class based shooter; think third person team fortress. The gameplay is smooth and lag seems to seldom be a problem. Jetpacks are fun. I was kind of disappointed that the character development is kind of shallow. This is not a MMO; it's more akin to a battlefield game where you level up to unlock new equipment.
You can save up money and buy new armor, but it's purely cosmetic, there are no stats attached.
In terms of the non-conquest aspect of the game, you're going to get bored of the maps really quickly. There are only a handful in rotation, especially in pve, so expect to beat each boss a dozen times.
If you're looking for a character development game where you can customize a wide range of skills and hunt for upgraded armor and weapons, then you're going to get bored really quickly. If you're looking for a stripped down class based shooter with a sci-fi feel, then you won't be disappointed.

 Not only does the game rock, but the designers are great too! Apr 22, 2010
By Justin H. Shelton
Global Agenda is great for several reasons. First off I would like to say that I've personally never seen a team thats so devoted to making great content for it's MMO after post production. All the updates and patches have always added something new and exciting. The patch 1.3 aka Sandstorm is going to be off the chain and is to be realeased in a couple days (note that its 04/22/2010 when I made this review). MOST OF THE FEATURES ARE FREE TO PLAY FOREVER EXCEPT FOR ONE THING. (It's impossible for me to cover everything in one review and actually have people read it, so I suggest going to [...] and checking out everything you can.)
There are roughly four types of combat:
PvE: A player joins a que (or with an already created group) and plays with a team totaling four players. The object is to blast your way through mutliple enemys, robotic and cybernetic, to face the final boss. The difficulty of the missions after easy and medium is much more potent and tactics and team communication are REQUIRED for succes. (the game comes with VOIP, but you can type statements too)
PvP: Comes in three different flavors
Agency vs Agency: Player made agencys vie for control of a territory and requires team resource management, diplomacy with other players and various other strategies. (THE ONLY THING YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR WITH A SUBSCRIPTION)
Mercenary: If your don't pay for the subscription then no prob, you can still experience most of the content you get in AvA. When you join this, you are basicaly setting yourself up as a mercenary, and you fight other players in roughly six game play modes which boil down to;Bombing the other guys base, controling an area, defending zones, and escorting resources. All require teamwork to succeed, and this is really were you get paid (in game).
Virtual Arena: If you just feel like testing that weapon you unlocked, or practicing your pvp skills with no consequence,then this is were you go. I must say that you should be wary the first time you are transported in, as noobs will be quickly dispatched lol.
The new 3.1 patch will also include several new gameplay modes plus new weps, armor, and tonnes of other things. But the biggest thing it will offer is a new open world to explore.

 A little bit addictive Nov 24, 2010
By Alan C. Bryant
As many of the reviews have already established; Global Agenda is not a traditional MMO... or shooter but it is a good bit of fun. I have to say that I went into the game with low expectations due to some mixed reviews I read on a couple of game sites but I was pleasantly surprised by both the game and the community.
I am not going to go into the specifics of the game since other reviews have already done that but instead will offer this advice: Get the trial, play it a few hours and then decide for yourself, but really play it for at least two or three hours and be sure to team up with some other players. It really changed the whole experience for me. I was fortunate and teamed up with a Marine stationed overseas who had been playing a while and I ended up joining his Agency (guild). He was friendly and went out of his way to "show me the ropes". I found that he was more typical of the Global Agenda community than an exception.
As of now the game is "Free To Play" which means when you buy it you can play it as much as you like and all content is free. There was some content that required a fee early on but no longer. With the game on sale it is certainly worth the price. Additionally if you want to level fast you can buy a booster pack which will give you double xp and double drops. It is a quick way to level. Have played a lot of 40+ dollar games that were much less fun.
Did detract one star from the overall rating of the game because there was no obvious in-game help and it was easy to sit around wondering what you were supposed to do next. Fortunately the community is helpful.

The gmae you've been waiting for Sep 22, 2010
By G. Brown
"Gareth"
This game is awesome and has so much depth and re-playability.
For a quick summary, Think Team fortress 2 with Jetpacks set in a futuristic world of warcraft.
It is 100% shooter, that has a so much to do with single player, co-op, team games and a risk style territory meta game.
You can customise each character you create with outfits, colours and skills.
If you love games, this is the perfect FPS MMO RPG hybrid that contains the best of all worlds from a game company that really cares.
If you are still not sure, there is a demo from their main website, but I would urge you just to buy it now

Surprisingly fun game Apr 17, 2010
By D. Hedbor
I've kept an eye on this game since before it launched but didn't get it until I could try it. The free trial, which for the moment is not time limited, was the opportunity I was waiting for. I liked the game almost immediately. It's not an amazingly deep game at the moment but if you see it as a shooter with RPG elements it's quite good. I bought the game within a day of downloading the trial. The upcoming 1.3 patch promises to add a significant amount of content as well. Don't take my word for it though - just check out the free trial and make up your own m
