It's a very good "gateway MMORPG". It's probably the most simple one I have played. If you like character customization/uniqueness it's great as well. Your character can "look" the way you want it too from the start... no need to camp X+1 hours on a specific enemy to get a unique-uber rare piece of armor just to look "different". Also no equipment... You have your powers, and the things that increase the effectiveness of your powers which you can customize any way you see fit.
Negative side.... lack of player commitment. Most, not all, but most groups in my experience that weren't guild formed were unreliable at best. Especially when in Taskforce missions, that take anywhere from a few hours to... oh... 6 was the longest I was in one *which was insane but after 3 prior attempts I was determined to finish it* and 1/2 the team decides to quit or just vanish, leaving you 1/2 way through a TF and missing essential "role" members.
Positive side.... easy to play and have fun. Lots of fresh content! Unlike some corporate cash-cow big names, they have actually added brand new content WITHOUT making it an expansion pack, charging you $X then spending the next few months with downed servers fixing their rushed, bugged content they made you pay for..... *cough* but I'm not bitter....
In summary, yes it is a good game and worth trying out!
