Definitely one to watch as more of the game gets revealed, but there's no specific details so discussion about game specifics is pretty moot.
I like the dark tone. I like the talk of a skill based system. I've never played a Funcom game, but I am a little hesitant given their track record.
Most importantly, I want to see the trailers fleshed out into a full length movie. Damn those were really well made with outstanding animation and amazing direction/production.
I found it to be "WoW without the fun" or at least "WoW's UI without the fun".
Uninspired and cliche game play with ugly oversaturated garish graphics. For all the vaunted choices of the character creator for CO, I found myself again and again trying to make a character that didn't look completely awful, as opposed to making a character that looked awesome. The avatar models look like they are made out of shiny vinyl or plastic.
Maybe the console kiddies will like it, but I'd give CO a 1 out of 10, and that's being generous
