CrimeCraft is a persistent world MMO that combines the action of a third-person shooter with the traditional elements of an online RPG, and sets it all in Sunrise City, a massive penal colony built after economic hardship led to an explosion of criminal activity. The game follows many established MMO norms, offering a variety of character customization options, a gang-based clan system, and both PvP and PvE game modes. Much of the in-game action centers on weapon crafting, with a black market economy designed to help players control the quality and cost of items that they create, modify, or repair. The PvE modes typically involve the accrual of experience points through questing and battles with enemy "bots," while the PvP action resembles traditional online shooter modes; "Snatch N' Grab" is essentially a "Capture-the-Flag" mode, for instance, while "Riot" and "Shootout" serve as the "Deathmatch and "Team Deathmatch" modes respectively. Retail copies of CrimeCraft include a two-month free trial, and Vogster Entertainment has set the original subscription fee for those who wish to continue playing at $9.99 a month. ~ Christopher Brown, All Game Guide
