What kind of game is it?

A bad one, but one we love nonetheless.

The hardest most complicated social and intellectual game available, laden with pit falls to slow you down and make you rage.

Also the most rewarding.

EDIT: also it has spaceships, not normal spaceships, serious spaceships.

It's not a game...it's an experiance. One of the very few games I know of, that can give you the "pure adrenalin" shakes when you play it. Cool

Hardly a space sim when we command submarines in golden syrup

Now, more than ever, we need a dislike button.

Eve is what you make it.

Social/universe simulator based around ruthless hyper-capitalist societal model.

Elements of RTS and slooooooow-motion twitch in the direct combat.

Think of it like the Sims gone quite horribly, wonderfully wrong.

EVE is like a box of FOF rockets, you never know who you're gonna hit.

I'm in it for the money

For me EVE is underdeveloped sci-fi adventure/quest/FPS/rogue RPG with very limited gameplay (you can walk around single room, sit and watch TV, change clothing and make-up) - with huge spaceships add-on.

EVE is a MMOSISSSUS.

A massive-multiplayer-online-submarines-in-space-single-shard-universe-sandbox. With a twist.

It's a sandbox game with emergent gameplay, and not for the faint of heart! Smile
