This game is perfect for: hardcore gamers
Please IGNORE any review of a "1" as the user has obviously never played the game. Purposefully deflating the score of an otherwise innovative game is shameful at best and childish at worst. Funcom/EA has HATERS from the Console and PvP communities who will pan a game just because it is made by Funcom and not released on PS3 or XBOX 360. The game is definitely NOT for kids. As is typical for a FUNCOM game, the Graphics and Music/Sound Effects are AWESOME! I went ahead and bought the Soundtracks for AoC, RoTG, and TSW, because the Music is Perfect for the respective games. It is rated Mature for Violence, Gore, and some topless demons and monsters. We are now two months after the launch of the game, and there are two new content releases. There have been servers added to the core release, and there are NO signs of any reductions forthcoming. Gameplay and Controls are solid and intuitive with no bot harrassment. The Storyline was written by one of the masters in the industry and follows themes that would make H.P. Lovecraft and Stephen King proud. This is a game of Modern Horror that assumes that ALL of the Urban Legends are TRUE. There are SEVEN Mission-types, with the Story, Investigation, Dungeon, and Sabotage mission-types really shining. The others are Action, Item, and PvP. It is more enticing for a PvE player in the MMORPG community, and does have weaknesses on the PvP side that are being improved upon. With that being said, I have played through the largest three faction PvP zone (Fusang Projects), and it was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE gameplay. More would be better, but I see it coming. I have spoken to others about the other two small PvP zones (Stonehenge and El Dorado), and though beautiful, something could be done to draw in more players. The first PvP RAIDs are due out in a couple weeks, and word has it that New York (Illuminati) will never be the same. I played in the Beta and have a Lifetime Membership, and I can vouch for the quality of this game. It was a solid launch, and a huge improvement over the launch of Age of Conan (which is also now greatly improved).

This game is perfect for: hardcore gamers
This game is something new. It is finally making strides and taking the mmo world from fantasy to real life. The gameplay is crisp and this game is very fun to play with others. One thing though, I can see it going to a free to play soon, so you may want to wait a bit.

Less QQ more Pew PEw
Posted 7/9/12
people are complaining over bugs and lack of features to a game not even a month old. if you think you can do better in the same time frame then show me what you can do . other wise give the game time to mature and see what it can do down the road.

Review 15 for The Secret World
Review 16 for The Secret World
Not your normal MMO
Posted on:5/23/12

If I were forced to summarize TSW succinctly it would be “this is not what you are used to in an MMO”. Do you kill things? Yes. Are you gifted with special powers? Sorta. Does spiffy gear drop off mobs? Yeppers. Do you grind out levels to see end game? Not even close. Are you locked into specific classes/builds? Definitely not.
There are no levels. You get points to buy abilities with, but you can change out skills at any time, or work on improving your skills with everything at once if you want! It's entirely up to you as the player. You get to choose 7 active and 7 passive skills out of hundreds of possible skills, in any combination you choose. Tank/heals/DPS no more! Wanna be a tank/healer? Then go for it!
For those talking about the bugs/glitches/graphics in beta.... well it's BETA. Not everything is enabled or released yet. And for those that think the questing is confusing.... IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE THAT WAY! You have to actually THINK to play this game, unlike WoW or Diablo. If you just want to kill things, go play Diablo. If you want a game that will challenge you to use your brain, then you want TSW!
TSW requires you to really pay attention to the clues in quests. Sometimes you have to search around for things, other times you have to actually use the internet for research. A lot of times it really helps to bounce things off other players, since different people figure out different pieces. You also don’t have the usual jam-packed quest log. There are 4 specific types of quests, indicated by icon and color-coding. You can have one of each of the main types of quest (action, sabotage and investigation) and up to 3 of the side quests at any point in time. Quests are chained (tiered) but if you need to drop a chain mid-quest you don’t cancel it, you pause it. You can pick it back up where you left off later. While it takes some getting used to, I found this style of questing really helped me follow the story better than having 30+ quests at once. (But again, you have to actually pay attention.) It’s also easier to piece together the clues because you’re not trying to follow multiple quest lines at once with tons of different clues.
The point is, TSW is all about solving puzzles. So I definitely don't recommend it for people that hate to think and just want to mindlessly smash buttons. I DO recommend it for anyone looking for something other than "more of the same old stuff".

I also liked how you have the ability to put "markers" or "Notes" on the main map to help you remember where you might have left a quest paused or to pick it up later, or even if you think something is interesting and want to go back and investigate it again.

"Don't Waste Your Time."
Posted on:5/19/12

Was looking forward to this game so I pre-ordered and played the beta. The game is terrible. I told myself, "Let me play it for one or two hours to see if maybe it'll grow on me." I was so disappointed. The game puts you in this weird world where nothing seems to make sense. The missions are glitchy and very random. They don't lead you to any kind of storyline. For example I had one mission where I talked to some lady with a crystal ball who was having nightmares about ravens. So I had to follow these ravens that spawned in various locations throughout a park. When they would land they would spawn an NPC that would pop out of a cloud of smoke and I would have to beat him to collect a feather. Then I had to place the feathers I collected, on the floor of a round fountain so that each one would be at the point of a 5 pointed star. Then the same NPC materialized and I took him out for the 6th time. Mission over and I collected my XP. By this time all I could think about was I cant wait until I get back to playing Diablo III. The controls of the game are similar to WOW or SWTOR, which isn't a bad thing. The graphics are terrible for a pc game. The story line is weird and meaningless. The abilities interface is confusing and difficult to understand. Hey I know it's a beta and I only played the game for about two hours but it was enough for me to loose interest. Overall I give it a 1 out of 5 stars. "Don't waste your time."

the game looks great cant wait for it so all those people who complain that why they have things called updates makes the game better and also cant judge it when its in beta still.
