It's the kind of game where some people (read:payers) being able to dominate more than others doesn't really affect anyone's enjoyment unless they let it get to them. Besides, since it's XBL exclusive it's more like a subscription perk than a real F 2 P.
It seems pretty fun, if simplistic.
Sadly, whenever I try to join a game I always disconnect before it starts. I've managed to join exactly one, and even there got kicked out before it was over.
"The world ends with you. If you want to enjoy life, expand your world. You gotta push your horizons out as far as they'll go."'Bout durn time Microsoft threw itself into the Free-To-Play market.
Although I have absolutely no clue how good this game is, I'll still give it a go when I am back in contact with my 360.
Didn't Microsoft indirectly get in the F 2 P market with the release of Age Of Empires Online?

Always looking for a good MMORPG with a great community...Well that wasn't on the Xbox.
The only F 2 P games that expect you to have a controller for proper play are Dungeon Fighter Online and Rusty Hearts and those are two of my faves. Shame RH won't @$%&ing install.
Any of the MMO brawlers out there (and anything else that doesn't use mouse-aim, to some extent) are probably better played with a controller but for some reason few games other than DFO and RH are actually optimized for it.
Then again, most doujin fighting games are initially optimized for keyboards.
This is a very fun game. There are issues with Matchmaking, they're working on it, but the AI is very good.
They do have medals for almost, and they're called silver!
So, after having played the game today, I have decided to make a thread about it!
And so far, I'm impressed, I don't recognise the gameplay style, but I'm sure someone can give me a hand with that. I'm currently at the point where I can't even keep an eye on what's going on, but damn, I still find it strangely fun.
Anyone got some first ideas on this? I can't see too much of the Allegedly Free Game about it, but there again, I'm low-level still, so I can't tell.

Curse the ill fortune that led you to me.
