D/L the trial and see what you think. Eve is addictive once you get into it, but it will take you some time to learn the skills you require for PVP etc.
I don't know what it is like now but it used to be a good game back in Open Beta (before milestone 1). But then after milestone 1 it went down hill abit. You can play for free anyway so give it a go and see what you think.
