It's just about all I've played since last fall when it came out. I play multiplayer only.

It's had some bugs, the latest patch is 1.07, get it. It's based on a beefed up version of the Unreal Tournament engine, so it's very system hungry. A lot of peeps on the runegame.com forums have had problems where their systems won't let them past certain levels. Make sure your systems quite beefy (at least 128 megs of RAM), has the latest drivers for vid/sound, DirectX (currently 8.0a).

I love the multiplayer aspect of it, especially what we call 1v1Arena honorable dueling. The community made special levels for that, like colissiums, where only 2 players enter, they duel, the winner recharges, then next challenger enters. All others watch while in line. But you get these lame people who log on and just run around meelee style to ruin the fun. The multiplayer is very bandwidth demanding, so dial up is pretty much useless, you need quality broad bandwidth.

I play exclusively online multiplayer, but I ran through about half of the single player just to check out the game engine. Impressive looking, although the first few levels seem repetitive, but later ones are really cool. The very first level will take you forever to find your way out through the water. Some long cinematics in the first level also.
