Earth & Beyond Critic Reviews

Whether you're looking at the graphics, the gameplay, the server response, the community activity, this is one staggeringly good game.

A beautifully conceived piece of software, and I've never seen a galaxy come to life like I did during my time with this title.

It’s balanced, it’s fun, and I can’t wait to get to level 140 again!

With its polished gameplay and compelling story line, E&B has its phasers on Stun.

Rarely is there a game like this that can accommodate beginners and satisfy experts. Earth and Beyond is one of those rare beasts.

A feast for the eyes and mind, Earth & Beyond is both an excellent game and a perfect example of what an MMORPG should be.

It’s a well-crafted, brilliantly designed, and lovingly developed space adventure that’s every bit as gripping as "EverQuest" ever was.

I’ve played just about every MMORPG that’s on the market today and even some that aren’t. Earth & Beyond offers a brand new flavor to the MMORPG universe that is both unique and well received.

The game offers just the right mix of gameplay and options for both the hardcore player and the more casual gamer.

A fun and accessible multiplayer universe, but probably too simplistic for the veteran space sim crowd.

An A-list, big budget, mass market, entry level MMORPG. It's simply terrific for a while, and the easiest-to-play massively multiplayer game so far.

Despite the absence of much role-playing, or perhaps because of it, Westwood has created a game that is quite a lot of fun to play. In fact, it's one of the few MMORPGs that is enjoyable even if you choose not to interact with any other players.

A very good-looking and VERY addictive experience, and is probably the best starting environment for those who long to enter the MMORPG experience and yet dread the horror-stories they've heard.

A major step forward in the genre.

An extremely refreshing space exploration take on the massively multiplayer genre.

Graphics are stunning.

Beyond some pesky micromanagement at times, Earth & Beyond is a well thought out and executed MMPOG in the voids of space, offering a compelling and expanding storyline set far into the future where you can actually explore the galaxy that we only dream of exploring today.

Even with its various issues, I absolutely fell in love with Earth & Beyond. I love the setting, the players, and the whole package in general -- I've found it incredibly innovative, and I am totally addicted.

If you’ve enjoyed space sims in the past and don’t mind the simplified combat engine then go for it. With its intuitive controls, attractive graphics, and lofty scope, E&B has a lot to offer the right gamer.

Shiny graphics and slick production can’t hide the tedium.
