First impressions, at least.
An online-only game which you can play solo or in a team and spend as little or as much time in-game as you like due to the instant-action nature.
Character creation is entertaining - only caveat is that I think you have to go through the training on every character you create.
Lots of servers, 6 (I think) character slots per server.

You can buy the game online and download it (~800Mb - took about 2.5 hours on my 1Mb ADSL line) but you won't get the box or manual - though as with most games these days the training tells you all you need to know.
You can buy it here ($50):

AFAIK it's not going to be on the shelves here for a few weeks.
Graphically the game is "good" - I play it at 1600x1200 and while the lack of AA and AF is noticeable if you've played Far Cry, it's not a bad engine at all.
$14.99 per month to play, fairly typical of modern MMOGs - rather nice to take advantage of the favourable exchange rate atm
First month is included in the purchase cost, as usual.
Anyone else playing this yet?
