Auto Assault Reviews

A handful of new reviews for NCsoft and NetDevil’s Auto Assault surfaced on the web over this past weekend. The first is at GameZone where they’ve given both the Limited Edition and Standard Edition versions of the game an overall score of 8.0/10:

Is it fun? Yes. Is it graphically pleasing? Yes. If Auto Assault suffers from any problems they would be a repetitive influence in missions, and a lack of players, giving the sparse world an even sparser feel. Of course, that means you don’t have to fight for quest mobs. But this is a game that fits a different space in the MMO genre and the folks at NetDevil have proven that they are not above making changes. Whether or not AA will survive long enough to realize its potential remains to be seen. For right now, though, it is a pleasant break from cookie-cutter MMOs.

The second is at GameSlave with an overall score of 6.5/10:

Of course, as this is an MMORPG and free updates are applied on a near daily basis, with what looks to be well over a hundred additions and fixes since I’ve started playing the game already. It’s just a shame that some of these weren’t included from the start considering how long this game was in beta. I really hope they manage to iron out some of the niggles and definitely improve on the trade system. For this game, despite its flaws is very addictive, it’s so satisfying being able to blow up pretty much anything you can see. If you’re a fan of the Carmaggedon series or just looking out for a different MMORPG to get your teeth into then I’d definitely recommend taking a look at this, I would just suggest waiting a few months for them to improve on the foundations they’ve already built. On the whole I found Auto Assault a fun but rather frustrating experience.

And the third is at USA Today with an overall score of 3/4:

So far, I’m enjoying this road trip. Anyone looking for an online game that’s more Mad Max than Gandalf might want to take Auto Assault out for a spin.
