  "Complex, detailed and beautifully rendered space opera."

  Version: EVE Online 246918

  Pros

  Phenomenal artwork, amazing realism, completely open ended so one can choose what one wants out of the massive EVE universe. I continue to be surprised by the level of detail and sophistication in this game.

  Cons

  In order to be competent, there is a huge and on-going learning curve (although one will have very few problems starting out). The Mac version of this software has a some on-going issues, but not enough for me to downgrade its rating.

  Summary

  EVE is obviously not for everyone (because of its steep learning curve), but for those that love an enriched and complex playing environment, EVE has no peer. One can choose many paths, alone or joining others (in a corporation), be that of a pirate, a trader, a miner, and so on (think of a 3D version of Escape Velocity on steroids). A player's ability is based on that players' pilot learning a vast array of skills, which is, quite literally, a never ending task.
  
  While this game is hardly inexpensive (subscription cost), it provides a level of game playing that I feel warrants that cost. What's also impressive is that the game is always evolving with new upgrades, which enhance the playing environment by adding new plot lines and more sophistication.
  
  Finally, I cannot say enough about EVE's level of detail and beauty. It is simply an amazing playing environment.
