		PlanetSide is set in a far-off future, where humans have colonized a planet named Auraxis, discovered on the other side of a wormhole.
		Of course, the main thing that sets PlanetSide apart from other shooters is that your character info is saved on the server when you leave, with the three empires battling it out 24/7.
		However, there is a penalty -- since PlanetSide is set on such a huge world (you could spend hours traveling from one side of a land mass to the other), getting killed can costs you huge amounts of time if you're forced to respawn far away from where you want to be.

	GameSpy.com - Review
		As the first combatants got their first kills, the virtual world of Auraxis was off to a good start, with only a few small patches and some minor lag issues.
		For others, though, PlanetSide may be the perfect fit to fill a genre that's been waiting to explode for a few years.
		The world of PlanetSide is positively HUGE, and unless you enjoy spending long stretches of time running through empty fields, traveling any significant distance on foot is a bad idea.

	Planetside
		PlanetSide, at its heart, is a sci-fi shoot-em up reminiscent of HALO that takes place on a desolate planet at the outer reaches of the universe.
		PlanetSide’s experience system is a smartly-designed and rewards the adventurous player who takes risks, while allowing the novice player to build up a their level of competence quickly.
		PlanetSide’s emphasis is definitely on action, but the character-building elements, different playable character types and certificate system add a lot of depth to the gameplay.

	Gaming Illustrated - Planetside MMORPG for PC Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
		Planetside is worrying as for your monthly subscription, you don't really get much more content and depth than a game such as Tribes 2 - the very first game I actually reviewed for this site well over a year ago - and because of this I treat it with caution.
		At the moment though, you take your choice, Planetside is a fun game, but whether there is enough to it to demand a monthly fee being sapped from your credit card is another thing altogether.
		Planetside is a game I would recommend without hesitation were it on a slightly smaller scale with no fees attached.

	PlanetSide - ESCMag Review
		PlanetSide is my return to a persistent online world, but for those hunting wizardry and massive golem monsters, you are in for a much-needed change.
		The first thing you notice is PlanetSide plays as though you are a small fraction embedded in a larger equation.
		PlanetSide struggles in some parts to find its footing, mostly in stability, but does offer a rewarding online experience when you are able to sit down and enjoy it.

	PlanetSide :: Computer :: Review :: DreamStation.cc
		PlanetSide is a basic First Person Shooter, but when you kill an enemy or take over a base you earn Battle Experience.
		PlanetSide has a balancing system of combined arms that is more important than what level you've reached.
		PlanetSide would be a good game if it was free, but it just isn't worth $12.99 a month to play.

	DailyGame Preview: PlanetSide [PC]
		PlanetSide, which is currently in beta, is a futuristic FPS spiced up with a dash of RPG, and topped off with a huge helping of online gameplay.
		This is not a decision to be made lightly, as each faction has its own special vehicles and weaponry, so it’s a good idea to read through the FAQ to understand the differences between the factions and their equipment.
		PlanetSide is still in beta, and as such, has a few bugs to be ironed out, not the least of which is the network code, which makes for incredibly laggy games when you have more than a few characters on-screen at once.

	Planetside \| Gamers With Jobs
		So when Planetside crossed our doorstep we decided pretty quickly that we had two choices: we could try and squeeze in some time to give it a cursory review, or we could go to someone with a better perspective and more valuable things to say.
		Planetside is like splicing 100 of these game levels together, with battles stretching across 10 at a time.
		Planetside is a shining example of balanced yet distinct factions.

	PlanetSide for PC Review - PC PlanetSide Review
		PlanetSide was clearly the result of a lot of ambitious planning, but much of the game experience depends on technical stability and the performance of other players.
		But PlanetSide has a lot going for it: It has a persistent world with persistent goals that give players real incentives to work in teams, and it has an extremely strict system for dealing with "grief" players--unruly players who shoot up their own teammates just to spoil their fun.
		PlanetSide's graphics are generally decent, and in some cases they're quite good, especially in its dynamic skies and sweeping outdoor landscapes.

	DailyGame Review: PlanetSide [PC]
		Now that PlanetSide has officially shipped, we took a look at the finished product, which is still somewhat buggy but overall is an enjoyable experience for those craving a little more than the standard first-person shooter.
		PlanetSide is the first FPS to take on the qualities of an RPG.
		There are plenty of skills available in PlanetSide, and since there are no predefined character classes, you can make up whatever type of character you like, so long as you have the certification points for it.

		Not only can there be a universal ladder ranking of players, participants will be able to track their success from the first time they log on to years in the future, with every enemy vanquished kept in a detailed tally.
		Planetside takes place on a distant world, once colonized by the Terran Republic by use of a naturally occurring wormhole.
		Alien technology is soon discovered there that allows for individuals to be instantly cloned after death, through a process of being placed into a digital matrix, and using these assets the colony prospers until dissolution of their route home.

	WORTHPLAYING - - All about games !
		PlanetSide aims to change that by tossing the idiosyncracies of an RPG and a FPS into a blender and hitting puree.
		Everything in PlanetSide is structured around teamwork, whether it be joining a squad or outfit (I’ll explain these later) or coordinating a takeover of an enemy base (which you’ll be doing a lot of).
		There is a ton of stuff to do in PlanetSide, and this is just the tip of a very large and steep iceberg.

	Wicked Toast - PlanetSide Analyzed review
		As PlanetSide is a pay-to-play game as well, I am leaving the value assessment off; there is simply no way to gauge this.
		PlanetSide was originally going to be a Multiplayer First Person Shooter where you, the Mercenary, were going to offer up your services to corporations fighting for planetary domination.
		As the battles raged on (in beta), it was obvious that fighters would reach their top rank (BattleRank 20) in a fairly short time (a few weeks, possibly a couple of months for the more standard player) and that seasoned fighters would have dealt with almost all types of scenarios presented by the game.

	Frictionless Insight (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
		When battle rages in PlanetSide, conflicts with hundreds of players are a common spectacle to behold.
		PlanetSide has a robust, offline tutorial system to orient new players, and then a virtual reality system in each side's Sanctuary that can orient you to weapons and vehicles, as well as help you achieve Battle Rank Three before engaging the enemy.
		To really enjoy PlanetSide, you need a hefty machine with components such as a 2GHz Pentium 4 processor, as much RAM as you can piece together (at least 1 GB would be handy) and at least a GeForce 4 class card with 128 MB of video RAM.

	The Entertainment Depot - PC / Mac / Console Gaming : PC - Reviews - PlanetSide
		In fact, the best way to pick which side to play as is by going which ideology that best fits the persona you wish to portray within the game.
		The point of the grief point system is that players who continue to harm others on their team will slowly accumulate points, and when a certain amount is reached, they will go to another level; however, if they behave, or avoid some of the Rambos out there, the points will gradually decrease.
		It’s very hard to form a solid fighting force when at least one, but most likely more, players will have a death in combat because their system stopped to crunch numbers whenever they turned a corner.

	Action Vault - Planetside Review
		PlanetSide has a set of predefined voice macros created to provide easy communication with your squad members by typing various combinations of three letters.
		Although you'll only be using one or two weapons much of the time, there are times when it would be great to have rapid access to more.
		All in all, Planetside is an excellent game and definitely worth a shot if you're thinking about buying it.

	Action Vault - PlanetSide E3 Report
		Expected to be the first massively multiplayer shooter to hit the market, PlanetSide is being developed by Verant Interactive at its St. Louis and San Diego divisions for parent Sony Online.
		As it was on display for the first time, and in playable form, members of the development team sat around a table with interconnected computers and attempted to frag each other while showing the game to attendees.
		We also noted that PlanetSide looks better in person than it does in screenshots, which is hardly surprising since this applies to many games.

	PlanetSide Hands-On Preview
		The difference is that in PlanetSide you have to use experience points to certify or gain skills before you can use all these lovely toys.
		In PlanetSide, the structures you capture for your faction and the defensives you erect stay that way until the enemy forces change it.
		The developers of PlanetSide have engineered the point system along with the persistence of the world in order to foster more of a team mentality - no one player can be an army to himself, and objectives can be much more easily achieved with strike teams of specialists than one man running in, guns blazing.

		PlanetSide is a persistent world, unlike any other online FPS ever released — it’s more akin to an RPG and to that end to keep things interesting an RPG-lite system is in place.
		PlanetSide takes a big chunk of inspiration from the size of these worlds and as a result PlanetSide is a simply huge world.
		PlanetSide is an ever-improving game and if you’ve not already got it you’re looking at a good 35MB of patches and new items.

		Planetside is just one of those games that sucks you in, that has you saying "5 more minutes--just one more kill" over and over and over again from 10:00pm until, well, sunrise.
		Planetside for the PC is first person shooter where you wage war for territory and enemy bases in futuristic alien worlds.
		Planetside is not for the casual gamer, because the game offers so many options: you can be a medic, engineer, pilot, assault soldier, heavy assualt, sniper, spy and more!

	GameSpy: PlanetSide Preview
		A team-based game, PlanetSide pits the forces of the Terrans, the Vanu Sovereignty and the New Conglomerate in a game of territorial control across 10 continents, giving players access to a variety of weapons, skills, and even vehicles.
		Since PlanetSide is still in beta, the servers aren't quite full, and so there's usually one main target each day for the testers to focus on.
		Groups of players are free to organize themselves into fire teams, and as you can tell from these screens, we even loaded up a Galaxy transport with 8 players and headed for action.

		Entirely multiplayer, PlanetSide follows the EverQuest model of a persistent online world; the battles rage on 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
		From there, all the player needs to do is choose whether they want to begin in battle or in the safety of their sides’ sanctuary for training.
		PlanetSide, unlike so many of its contemporaries, doesn’t allow players to do everything.

	"Planetside"/ a game review from Christian Spotlight
		The graphics level is very well done, with attention to detail on character movements, weapons, and the multitude of combat vehicles that the three sides use to wage world war.
		The tools of world war are many in Planetside, from the gigantic Galaxy transport aircraft: holding up to 16 players to tanks, assault buggies, fighters, bombers, semi trucks, and even 4-wheel ATV motorcycles.
		Overall I enjoy Planetside, despite it's flaws, for those who love a science-fiction massive game in the vein of "Star Wars" then this is for you.

		If it wasn't prompted by overwhelming forces sweeping over me as I tried to hold the line at a Kyoi gun tower, it was because of idiot squadmates, seriously choppy lag, or the odd system crash.
		In fact, PlanetSide is really Tribes done better—no coincidence, since some of the folks behind Tribes are dropping you into this sci-fi world at war.
		Of course, the action slows to a crawl when a bajillion members of your faction have to stake out a base and wait 15 minutes for the hack to complete before they gain the experience from the hostile takeover.

	PlanetSide - review - play.tm
		First things first, PlanetSide is a very very large game indeed, and not purely because you’ve got a great big world to explore and survive within but because you’re thrown into all manner of situations, from defence of key vehicles and bases, to attacking fronts on the cusp of victory or annihilation.
		Couple this with the often immediately hostile nature of the PlanetSide world; from snipers to air-strikes and invisible assassins, this multitudinous landscape is not an inviting one.
		The great thing about PlanetSide is that the pure variety of options can make for some very varied assortments of armies, that in turn are more successful thanks to their different strengths and weaknesses.
