Firefall goes through the motions of presenting the features that you might expect from a free-to-play MMO shooter, but each feels like a rough draft. Lengthy travel times and repetitive FedEx quests spoil the attraction of its colorful tropical landscape...

Abstract: I understand this game is free-to-play, but Red 5 Studios should be playing that up. It should not be an excuse for a game. Firefall doesn't take full advantage of its F2P model because it can't capitalize on being consistently fun. The game feels more li...

Dramatic heights are fun to scale, and offer great views of the open world, Grouping up to take on an impromptu horde of aliens in a dynamic event is easy and enjoyable
